Paul C. Stern, the director of the National Research Council committee on the human dimensions of global change, has been involved in a decades-long string of studies of behavior, climate change and energy choices.
Uncertainties in building operation and external factors such as occupant behavior, climate change, policy changes etc. impact building performance, resulting in possible performance deviation during operation compared to the predicted performance in the design phase.
Thus in the future, while it may be impossible to detect trends in behavior from climate change or changing ocean conditions in any single study, large scale meta-analyses could reveal broader patterns in changing behaviour.
"There's an 80-20 overlap between sensible behavior on resource limitation and sensible behavior on climate change," Ramsay Ravenel, the executive director of the Grantham Foundation, says.
Mr. Schelling later turned his attention to addictive behavior and climate change.
Gauthier further explains the connections between environmental stresses and carbon balance as it relates to plant behavior and climate change.
It opened my eyes to the vast number of ways people can influence our perspectives and behavior regarding climate change.
Examines key issues in the current and future development of urban energy systems, such as technology, use, behavior, regulation, climate change, and lack of access or energy poverty.
While baby boomers may be slow to adjust spending behavior to climate change, the Florida developer told me, millennials will not, and that shift will likely impact the market in the decade to come.
I say that we're on our way, but not there yet, because a decade or so ago, (a) the only observational evidence was about other types of current climate variability in clouds rather than trends, (b) no one had yet demonstrated a relationship between that behavior and climate change, (c) there were few if any accepted physical mechanisms for why specific types of regional cloud feedbacks occur.
Mortality: estimates of urban tree mortality are affected by high uncertainty due to differences in tree physiology, biophysical and environmental conditions, planting strategies, social-ecological behavior, future climate change and more [30, 106 108].
