The impact of climate change on agriculture

Article Abstract:

Studies indicate that reports showing adverse effects on agricultural production due to global warming have been too pessimistic. A draft report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change states that global agricultural production can be maintained in connection with baseline production even if carbon dioxide equilibrium conditions are doubled. Four key reasons for such a statement are milder climate forecasts, improved farmer ability to adapt to climatic change, the ability of carbon fertilization to boost crop productivity and the benefits of a warmer climate on crops suited for warm weather.

Stockholm, Rio and beyond: lessons from two decades of international environmental politics

Article Abstract:

T. Brenton's 'The Greening of Machiavelli: The Evolution of International Environmental Politics' centers on the success of global environmental policies towards its ecological goals. Brenton, who does not share Niccolo Machiavelli's view that sees nations as apathetic toward the well-being of the international community, maintains a 'moderate environmentalist's' stand. He deems the achievements of the Stockholm Declaration to be legally useless. The Agenda 21 and the Rio Declaration, meanwhile, may present guidelines for effective political management of the global environment.

Periodicities in sea-level changes at Stockholm

Article Abstract:

Global warming may increase the rate of rise of global sea-levels within the next decade. As a result, researchers are closely observing regional and global sea-level changes. In 1988, the longest continued series of sea-level observations was published, spanning a 200-year period from 1774-1984. The research estimated a 10 centimeter per century rise in Stockholm's sea-level caused by the cold climate between 1700-1800 to the warmer climate of the 20th century. The research used monthly means to measure changes in the amplitudes of the sea-level's periodicities.
