Games are considered promising for engaging people with climate change. In virtual worlds, players can adopt empowering roles to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and/or adapt to climate impacts. However, the lack of a comprehensive exploration of ...

COVID-19 has caused a negative impact and disruption on a global supply chain. The global supply chain is affected by many factors, such as disruption, customs duty, requirements for the reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emission, and trans-pacific ...

Video games have risen as a popular medium with the potential to become a powerful tool for public climate change engagement. However, little is known about how existing digital games can fulfill this role. This study systematically compiles 150 video ...

Climate change is the defining challenge now facing our planet. Limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees, as advocated by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, requires rapid, far-reaching, and unprecedented changes in how governments, industries,...

Coal has been the predominant source of energy for electricity production in South Africa. Coal combustion process for energy recovery is regarded as heavy pollutant emissions process. Waste derived alternative fuels are widely used for substituting the ...

Global warming is a dangerous natural phenomenon that can threaten all the life on earth. Global warming becomes a very necessary thing to be introduced to elementary school students. Elementary school students are generally easy to be bored if they ...

Integrated assessment models that combine geophysics and economics features are often used to evaluate and compare global warming policies. Because there are typically profound uncertainties in these models, a simulation approach is often used. This ...

Using 55 years of daily average temperatures from a local weather station, I made a least-absolute-deviations (LAD) regression model that accounts for three effects: seasonal variations, the 11-year solar cycle, and a linear trend. The model was formulated ...

Recent experimental works demonstrated that the Antropogenic Global Warming (AGW) hypothesis, embodied in a series of Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) global climate models, is erroneous. These works prove that atmospheric carbon dioxide ...

Greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction agreement makes up the targeted reduction of a legally binding GHG for each country or region. It enables us to buy and sell some GHG with other countries; it is the GHG trading system. But now, some free riders, they do ...

This workshop will explore the contributions that software research can make to the challenge of tackling climate change. Software is a critical enabling technology in nearly all aspects of climate change, from the computational models used by climate ...

This work concerns the problem of decision making in the context of investment allocation in clean technology and in reforestation, aimed at reducing the global warming. In order to model the government actions, fuzzy rules are employed to represent the ...

This workshop will explore the contributions that software research can make to the challenge of climate change. Software is a critical enabling technology in nearly all aspects of climate change, from the computational models used by climate scientists ...

Observed declines in the Arctic sea ice have resulted in a variety of negative effects on polar bears Ursus maritimus. Projections for additional future declines in sea ice resulted in a proposal to list polar bears as a threatened species under the ...

The data set of 160 National Meteorological Observatory stations with long-term monthly temperature data for China has been analyzed in this study to discover the altitudinal variation of temperature gradients in China in the past half century. By ...

The unprecedented global warming is resulting in various changes in worldwide environment. The data of occurrence days of dust storms from meteorological observing stations during 1954–2000 and global warming anomaly from the Climatic Research Unit and ...

Natural laws can only be recognized in the dynamic processes. Here we present the relationship between latitude and altitude temperature effects under the unprecedented global warming, using the 160-station observed meteorological data. We find that ...

Observed declines in the Arctic sea ice have resulted in a variety of negative effects on polar bears (Ursus maritimus). Projections for additional future declines in sea ice resulted in a proposal to list polar bears as a threatened species under the ...

Calls to list polar bears as a threatened species under the United States Endangered Species Act are based on forecasts of substantial long-term declines in their population. Nine government reports were written to help US Fish and Wildlife Service ...
