Economics and distribution in the greenhouse

Article Abstract:

Suggestions are presented to remove the neutral appearance of economic vocabulary when discussing environmental policymaking, which risk concealing difficult tradeoffs between economic growth and ecological conservation. These suggestions include an emphasis on developing countries, a total emission budget shared on a per capita formulation, and a compensation fund to help those negatively effected by climatic change.

The thermohaline ocean circulation: a system with dangerous thresholds?

Article Abstract:

Research indicates that salinity and temperature of ocean circulation adds significantly to the North Atlantic Ocean's heat budget and freshwater sensitivity. Predicted effects include increased global warming, a decline or collapse of fisheries and agriculture, and glacier advancement in Scotland and Scandinavia.
