'PALEOZOIC ATMOSPHERIC CO2 - IMPORTANCE OF SOLAR-RADIATION AND PLANT

   EVOLUTION' - 1993, Yale University, USA
'Changes in solar radiation, as it affects the rate of weathering of

   silicates on the continents, and other changes involving weathering and

   the degassing of carbon dioxide (CO2) have been included in a long-term

   carbon-cycle model. These additions to the model show that the major

   controls on CO2 concentrations during the Paleozoic era were solar and

   biological, and not tectonic, in origin. The model predictions agree

   with independent estimates of a large mid-Paleozoic (400 to 320 million

   years ago) drop in CO2 concentrations, which led to large-scale

   glaciation. This agreement indicates that variations in the atmospheric

   greenhouse effect were important in global climate change during the

   distant geologic past.'

CLIMATE-CHANGE IMPLICATIONS FOR EUROPE - AN APPLICATION OF THE ESCAPE

   MODEL - 1994, Rotmans, Hulme, Downing
Three important characteristics of the

   global climate change problem are well illustrated: past emissions of

   greenhouse gases and the inertia of the global development path have

   committed the world to future warming irrespective of current and

   near-future policy interventions




THE IMPACT OF CLIMATE-CHANGE ON THE RIVER RHINE - A SCENARIO STUDY - 1995, Rotmans, Kwadijk

This paper concerns the impact of human-induced global climate change

   on the River Rhine discharge. For this purpose a model for climate

   assessment, named ESCAPE, is coupled to a water balance model, named

   RHINEFLOW. From climate scenarios, changes in regional annual water

   availability and seasonal discharge in the River Rhine Basin are

   estimated. The climate scenarios are based on greenhouse gases

   emissions scenarios.

Additionally, other human

   activities such as pollution and global climate change affect the

GREENHOUSE HYDROLOGY - 1995, Wilby
Hydrological processes are an integral component of both global climate

   change arising from increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases and

   the assessment of subsequent terrestrial impacts.




Joint implementation: Biodiversity and greenhouse gas offsets - 1996, Cutright

One of the most pressing environmental issues today is the possibility

   that projected increases in global emissions of greenhouse gases from

   increased deforestation, development, and fossil-fuel combustion could

   significantly alter global climate patterns.

Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in India have important implications for

   global climate change.



An inventory of greenhouse gas emissions in Bangladesh: Initial results - Uddin, Islam, Reazuddin

In this paper, we present an inventory of greenhouse gas sources and

   sinks in Bangladesh for the year 1990. Because CO2 is believed to be

   the principal contributor to global climate change worldwide, and

   energy use is the largest source of CO2 emissions, much effort was made

   to analyze the Bangladesh energy system.



Potential shifts in optimum growth areas of selected commercial tree

   species and subtropical crops in southern Africa due to global warming - 1996, Shulze, Kunz
The results also indicate

   that climate change resulting from the augmented greenhouse effect may

   benefit the horticultural industry to a greater extent than the timber

   industry. Hence, competition for land suitable for future expansion of

   certain commercial tree species and subtropical crops may become an

   important consideration in the future.



‘An equity first, risk-based framework for managing global climate change’
‘This paper presents an alternative framework to the approach currently embodied in the Kyoto Protocol for managing global climate change post-2012…..it is proposed that the global climate be managed as to avoid three categories of risks: (I) Substantial regional economic, political, and/or biological impacts;  (II) Severe global economic, political, and/or biological impacts; and (III) Extinction of humans.’

‘Modern global climate change’
‘Modern climate change is dominated by human influences, which are now large enough to exceed the bounds of natural variability. The main source of global climate change is human-induced changes in atmospheric composition. These perturbations primarily result from emissions associated with energy use, but on local and regional scales, urbanization and land use changes are also important.’

‘Carbon dynamics and land-use choices: building a regional-scale multidisciplinary model’
‘Policy enabling tropical forests to approach their potential contribution to global-climate-change mitigation requires forecasts of land use and carbon storage on a large scale over long periods.’

‘Analyses of long-term data indicate that human-caused climatic changes are affecting bird phenology in directions consistent with theoretical predictions.’

‘Conservation impact of climatic variability on pollination of the federally endangered plant, Clematis socialis (Ranunculaceae)’
‘We further conclude that asynchrony between flowering season and pollinator activity patterns may be a risk factor associated with human-caused global climate change.’

‘Climate warming due to the enhanced greenhouse effect is expected to have a significant impact on natural environment and human activity in high latitudes.’

‘Modeling future climate changes: certainties and uncertainties’
‘There is no doubt that this situation is the result of human activities : energy consumption, industrial or agricultural activities, deforestation….Models are not a perfect representation of the Earth system, and they will never be. We also cannot expect the climate system to be fully predictable. But models are strongly constrained by conservation equations, they behave in many aspects like the real planet…Present projections indicate in all cases, a significant change, with a global surface warming in 2 100 between 2degreesC and 6degreesC’

‘Solar activity and terrestrial climate: an analysis of some purported Correlations’
‘These hypotheses play an important role in the scientific as well as in the public debate about the possibility or reality of a man-made global climate change. I have analyzed a number of published graphs which have played a major role in these debates and which have been claimed to support solar hypotheses. My analyses show that the apparent strong correlations displayed on these graphs have been obtained by an  incorrect handling of the physical data. Since the graphs are still widely referred to in the literature and their misleading character has not yet been generally recognized, I have found it appropriate to deliver the present overview. ‘

‘A structural decomposition analysis of air pollution from fossil fuel combustion in India’
‘During the last decade, there has been worldwide concern with global climate change, which has been induced by greenhouse gases (GHGs) due to the use of fossil fuels. The CO2 emissions from fossil fuel  combustion have been identified as the single most significant source of GHG emissions into the atmosphere.’
