Cet ouvrage propose une étude approfondie des processus physiques fondamentaux à l'origine ce que l'on appelle désormais le « réchauffement climatique ». Il offre un aperçu précis du climat et de ses impacts en Europe au cours des 20e et 21e siècles et expose l'ensemble des bases physiques nécessaires pour comprendre pourquoi et comment le climat change, et dans quelle mesure le réchauffement rapide des prochaines décennies modifiera non seulement notre environnement naturel mais aussi la plupart des activités économiques continentales. Les premiers chapitres, accessibles à un large public, exposent les principes scientifiques généraux à l'origine de ce phénomène La suite de l'ouvrage examine plus spécifiquement le cas des Alpes qui se caractérisent par une topographie complexe, où les processus climatiques sont généralement amplifiés. L'abondance des données environnementales et socio-économiques font du domaine alpin un lieu d'étude privilégié pour analyser les changements et impacts climatiques récents et pour valider les modèles de simulation capables de donner un aperçu de notre futur climatique. Cet ouvrage de référence, rédigé par un expert mondial du domaine, s'adresse principalement aux professeurs, chercheurs, étudiants et praticiens impliqués dans les solutions technologiques, économiques et politiques de la question climatique, mais aussi à un plus large public intéresse par cette problématique.

Cet ouvrage propose une étude approfondie des processus physiques fondamentaux à l'origine ce que l'on appelle désormais le "réchauffement climatique". Cette deuxième édition incorpore les résultats de recherches récentes effectuées depuis la publication de la première édition. En particulier, de nouvelles connaissances sur les impacts climatiques en Suisse, notamment liées aux extrêmes climatiques. L'ouvrage offre un aperçu précis du climat et de ses impacts en Europe au cours des 20e et 21e siècles et expose l'ensemble des bases physiques nécessaires pour comprendre pourquoi et comment le climat change, et dans quelle mesure le réchauffement rapide des prochaines décennies modifiera non seulement notre environnement naturel mais aussi la plupart des activités économiques continentales.

With effective climate change mitigation policies still under development, and with even the most aggressive proposals unable to halt climate change immediately, many decision makers are focusing unprecedented attention on the need for strategies to adapt to climate changes that are now unavoidable. The effects of climate change will touch every corner of the world's economies and societies; adaptation is inevitable. The remaining question is to what extent humans will anticipate and reduce undesired consequences of climate change, or postpone response until after climate change impacts have altered ecological and socioeconomic systems so significantly that opportunities for adaptation become limited. This book summarizes a National Research Council workshop at which presentations and discussion identified specific needs associated with this gap between the demand and supply of scientific information about climate change adaptation.

The specific focus of this seminal work is on the economic impact of climate change on agriculture world wide, and how faced with the resultant environmental alterations, agriculture might adapt under varied and varying conditions. Enhanced with a detailed and comprehensive index, Climate Change and Agriculture is highly recommended for academic library environmental studies and economic studies reference collections and supplemental reading lists. The Midwest Book Review Despite its great importance, there are surprisingly few economic studies of the impact of climate on agriculture and how agriculture can adapt under a variety of conditions. This book examines 22 countries across four continents, including both developed and developing economies. It provides both a good analytical basis for additional work and solid results for policy debate concerning income distributional effects such as abatement, adaptation, and equity. Agriculture and grazing are a central sector in the livelihood of many people, particularly in developing countries. This book uses the Ricardian method to examine the impact of climate change on agriculture. It also quantifies how farmers adapt to climate. The findings suggest that agriculture in developing countries is more sensitive to climate than agriculture in developed countries. Rain-fed cropland is generally more sensitive to warming than irrigated cropland and cropland is more sensitive than livestock. The adaptation to climate change results reveal that farmers make many adjustments including switching crops and livestock species, adopting irrigation, and moving between livestock and crops. The results also reveal that impacts and adaptations vary a great deal across landscapes, suggesting that adaptation policies must be location specific. Finally, the book suggests a research agenda for the future. Economists in academia and the public sector, policy analysts and development agencies will find this broad study illuminating.

Across the United States, impacts of climate change are already evident. Heat waves have become more frequent and intense, cold extremes have become less frequent, and patterns of rainfall are likely changing. The proportion of precipitation that falls as rain rather than snow has increased across the western United States and Arctic sea ice has been reduced significantly. Sea level has been rising faster than at any time in recent history, threatening the natural and built environments on the coasts. Even if emissions of greenhouse gases were substantially reduced now, climate change and its resulting impacts would continue for some time to come. To date, decisions related to the management and protection of the nation's people, resources, and infrastructure have been based on records in the recent past, when climate was relatively stable. Adapting to the Impacts of Climate Change, part of the congressionally requested America's Climate Choices suite of studies, calls for a new paradigm-one that considers a range of possible future climate conditions and impacts that may be well outside the realm of past experience. Adaptation requires actions from many decision makers in federal, state, tribal, and local governments; the private sector; non-governmental organizations; and community groups. However, current efforts are hampered by a lack of solid information about the benefits, costs, and effectiveness of various adaptation options; climate information on regional and local scales; and a lack of coordination. Adapting to the Impacts of Climate Change calls for a national adaptation strategy that provides needed technical and scientific resources, incentives to begin adaptation planning, guidance across jurisdictions, shared lessons learned, and support of scientific research to expand knowledge of impacts and adaptation.

Culture Bound is designed to give language teachers a basis for introducing a cultural component into their teaching. The articles give a perspective on how language and culture interact and explore in particular the difference between interacting with another culture and entering it: language students are encouraged to understand the new culture without necessarily embracing it. This selection brings together representative practical and theoretical material written by a variety of scholars and teachers in the field. The essays are organized under three headings: language, thought, and culture; cultural differences and similarities; and classroom applications. The collection as a whole brings both breadth and depth to a topic that has been strangely neglected despite its recognized importance.
