Abstract Increases in burned forest area across the western United States and southwestern Canada over last several decades have been partially driven by a rise vapor pressure deficit (VPD), measure of atmosphere’s drying power that is significantly influenced human-caused climate change. Previous research has quantified contribution carbon emissions traced back to set 88 major fossil fuel producers cement manufacturers historical global mean temperature rise. In this study, we extend into...
Abstract Global mean sea levels have risen at an accelerating rate over the past century in response, primarily to greenhouse gas emissions from combustion of fossil fuels. We use MAGICC7, a reduced complexity climate-carbon cycle model, quantify how traced Carbon Majors, world’s 122 largest fuel and cement producers, 1854–2020 contributed present-day surface air temperature rise, level rise both historically projected through 2300. find that these industrial actors 37%–58% present day...
A national survey of physics faculty was conducted to investigate the prevalence and nature computational instruction in courses across United States. 1246 from 357 unique institutions responded survey. The results suggest that more have some form teaching experience than a decade ago, but it appears this does not necessarily translate undergraduate students' formal course work. Further, we find programs are absent most departments. majority do report using computation on homework projects,...
Abstract This article characterizes key research gaps and opportunities for scientists across disciplines to do work that informs the rapidly growing number of climate lawsuits worldwide. It focuses on can be used inform legal decisions about responsibility greenhouse gas emissions damages. Relevant include claims filed against government corporate defendants alleging they have violated environmental, human rights, constitutional, tort, consumer protection laws due their contributions change...
Amid mushrooming net-zero commitments and pledges made by states non-state entities, a gap remains between those pledges, the action needed in order to stay within temperature goals of Paris Agreement. In response, scholars policymakers have started examine physical, technological, economic, policy pathways net‐zero emissions across different sectors. This article examines existing legislation litigation for world four jurisdictions: Germany, United States, Brazil, China. We propose taxonomy...
A moderated discussion can help clarify the concerns and opinions of physics community. But if it’s not arranged analyzed with care, even well-meaning efforts lead to problems.
