The psychological impacts of global climate change.
An appreciation of the psychological impacts of global climate change entails recognizing the complexity and multiple meanings associated with climate change; situating impacts within other social, technological, and ecological transitions; and recognizing mediators and moderators of impacts. This article describes three classes of psychological impacts: direct (e.g., acute or traumatic effects...
متن کاملUncertainty in climate change impacts on basin-scale freshwater resources – preface to the special issue: the QUEST-GSI methodology and synthesis of results
This paper presents a preface to this Special Issue on the results of the QUEST-GSI (Global Scale Impacts) project on climate change impacts on catchment scale water resources. A detailed description of the unified methodology, subsequently used in all studies in this issue, is provided. The project method involved running simulations of catchmentscale hydrology using a unified set of past and ...
متن کاملComparing Forecasts of the Global Impacts of Climate Change
This paper utilizes the predictions of several General Circulation Models and the Global Impact Model to create forecasts of the global impacts from climate change. The forecasts of impacts in 2100 vary considerably depending on climate scenarios and climate sensitivity. The models do concur that tropical nations will be hurt, temperate nations will be barely affected, and polar nations will be...
متن کاملImpacts of Climate Change on the Global Forest Sector
The path and magnitude of future anthropogenic emissions of carbon dioxide will likely influence changes in climate that may impact the global forest sector. These responses in the global forest sector may have implications for international efforts to stabilize the atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide. This study takes a step toward including the role of global forest sector in integrat...
متن کاملThe Impacts of Global Climate Change on Grassland Ecosystems
Global climate change, induced by increase in the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, can affect the growth and community structure of grassland ecosystems in two ways. The first is directly through changes in atmospheric concentration of CO 2 and the second is indirectly through changes in temperature and rainfall. At higher latitudes, where growth is largely temperature limit...
