Only nuclear energy is a viable “stock limited” resource where the stocks are much larger than the jack pot from fossil fuels.

Suva faces significant risks from extreme weather events, reliance on climate-vulnerable industries, marine ecosystem destruction, invasive species, and rapid urbanization.

The fate of plastics entering the 3D ocean circulation from rivers discharge is examined through the Lagrangian analysis of neutrally buoyant particles. Particles are released continuously over 1991-2010 at the surface along the coasts according to monthly estimates of rivers plastic waste input. They are advected by daily currents from a state-of-the-art global ocean model at 1/12° resolution. At the end of the simulation, particles remaining in the surface layer of 1~m thickness represent...

Glacier inventory is the basic data for hydrological, water resources and climate change research. Glacier inventories have been created for the Third Pole Region (TPR) or high Asia, yet they are different in coverage area and vary largely in quality. It is thus necessary to assess their quality in order to provide information for potential users to choose the right glacier inventories. Using the analytic hierarchy process, this study selects eight assessment factors and assesses the comprehensi...

In this empirical study, we collected about 6.8 million tweets that mentioned “fake news”, and we extracted references to climate change and/or global warming to understand the public discourses around these two issues. Using a mixed method, the study’s findings show that there is a clear politically polarized discussion on climate change.

All scientists, but its a niche readership. >> boring! nerds! >> you said it. the whole conversation is surreal. to me the most fascinating thing to think about in the world but the fascinating part of it what does it mean for us and follow possess and the way we live in the world and what does it mean -- what do we have to change about what we do and how does it tie into the story of inclement aspect? fascinating aspects of clim change but in the traditional media we are spinning our wheels and...
