This article offers a critique of global carbon markets and trading, with a special focus on the Clean Development Mechanism of the Kyoto Protocol. It explores problems with the use of tradable permits to address climate change revolving around four areas: homogeneity, justice, gaming, and information. Homogeneity problems arise from the non-linear nature of climate change and sensitivity of em...

• Diverse hunks of science information successfully reduce global warming denial. Technology is widely used to communicate climate change in classrooms, and so on. Scientific literacy education crucially facilitates acceptance. Directly addressing misinformation useful cognition. Socio-emotional fosters people’s civic, climate-concerned, participation. Climate change’s particular ‘perfect storm...

Research on the barriers and limits to climate change adaptation identifies many factors, but describes few processes whereby adaptation is constrained or may indeed fail to avoid catastrophic losses. It often assumes that barriers are by and large distinct from limits to adaptation. We respond to recent calls for comparative studies that are able to further knowledge about the underlying drive...

The continued rise in atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) levels is driving climate change and temperature shifts at a global scale. CO2 Capture and Storage (CCS) technologies have been suggested as a feasible option for reducing CO2 emissions and mitigating their effects. However, before CCS can be employed at an industrial scale, any environmental risks associated with this activity should be id...

European farming is dealing with global questions as food safety, climate change and energy, while attempting to sustain competitiveness in world markets, higher standards of food production and responding to new demands for public goods and services. The energy requirements of food production are here a central issue. But a literature review on this topic, centered in the Mediterranean, reveal...

Resource users require the capacity to cope and adapt to climate changes affecting resource condition if they, and their industries, are to remain viable. Understanding individual-scale responses to a changing climate will be an important component of designing well-targeted, broad-scale strategies and policies. Because of the interdependencies between people and ecosystems, understanding and s...

In a recent Opinion article in Trends in Ecology & Evolution, Ricciardi and Simberloff [1] argue that species translocations are not a viable conservation strategy to deal with threats such as climate change, because conservation biologists lack sufficient understanding of the associated risks. We agree with the basic tenet of their argument that the attention and credibility given to such sche...
