Understanding public perceptions of global warming
… determinants on Americans’ perceptions of global warming and individuals’ environmentally significant behaviors to reduce global warming. Specially, I examine how contextual variables, primarily represented by local weather and climate, attitudinal variables, and socio-demographic characteristics …

Effects of environmental warming on lentic freshwater communities and the behavioral and physiological responses by fishes to warming
… changes are occurring across the globe and warming is a pervasive issue for ectotherms across all habitats. Freshwater ecosystems are threatened by anthropogenic warming, and with projected increases in global temperatures, understanding the impacts of warming on aquatic communities and …

Estimating global warming from anthropogenic heat emissions
… human civilisation, produces a direct climate warming. Today, the globally averaged AHF is negligibly small compared to the indirect forcing from greenhouse gas emissions. Locally or regionally, though, it has a significant impact. Historical observations show a constant exponential growth of …

Identification and Classification of Stratospheric Sudden Warming Events
… to identify and classify Stratospheric Sudden Warming events. A total of 41 events are identified during this 33 year period, resulting in an average occurrence rate of 1.24 events/year. No significant variation in the rate is observed during the period analyzed. The average temperature …

COAL, GLOBAL WARMING, AND THE CLEAN AIR ACT
… of greenhouse gases was causing global warming. Carbon dioxide is produced in far greater quantities than other greenhouse gases. Over 80 percent of the carbon dioxide produced in the United States comes from coal-fired power plants. If global warming is a threat to the welfare and …

Midlatitude Storm Track Response to Increased Greenhouse Warming
… of the storm tracks in response to global warming will have significant impacts on the poleward transport of heat, momentum and moisture and on the hydrological cycle. Recent studies have indicated a poleward shift of the storm tracks and midlatitude precipitation zone in the warming world …

Stratosphere - troposphere interaction during stratospheric sudden warming events
… stratospheric variability such as stratospheric warmings, these events are simulated in the described model for the study of stratosphere - troposphere coupling, while for comparison the coupling is also assessed for weaker stratospheric variability. While the upward coupling by planetary-scale …

The strategy of Japanese oil companies under global warming
Global warming is becoming a greater issue for human beings. People's life has become rich, comfortable and convenient, especially in developed countries. The rich life is supported by huge energy consumption and the energy consumption by human beings destroys natural balance of the earth. As …

Climate nudges : psychological tools to fix a warming planet
What if, during your next luxuriously long shower, a small device on the showerhead catches your eye? It counts gallons like a stopwatch. As the numbers grow, a cartoon polar bear despairingly watches the iceberg beneath him slowly melt. Small psychological nudges like this have profoundly shaped …

Remote Sensing of Local Warming and Its Application Over Alberta
… this study sets up the goal to delineate local warming maps using satellite-borne remote sensing data at 15 m spatial resolution. In doing so, firstly, 1 km spatial resolution warming map is prepared in the whole province of Alberta for 1961-2010 time period using MODIS-derived 8-days composite …

Downward influence of stratospheric final warming events in an idealized model
The stratospheric final warming is the final transition of the zonal winds from wintertime westerlies to summertime easterlies as the solar heating of the high latitude stratosphere increases in the springtime. Recent observational analyses suggested that stratospheric final warming makes a …

Hailfall in a future climate using a pseudo-global warming approach
… and hail change, this study uses a pseudo-global warming (PGW) approach to simulate seven different historic hailstorms in their historical environments and again in PGW environments obtained from five different CMIP5 members. Changes in large-scale environmental parameters were generally found to …
