Recognising that changes in vegetation cover are naturally due to environmental factors such as seasonality and inter-annual climate variability, conclusions about the success of the intervention cannot be drawn by focussing on the intervention area only.
Nye is baffled by government officials who deny humans' impact on the earth's rapidly warming temperature and changing climate, despite conclusions drawn by 97percentt of climate scientists.
In hotter climates, the conclusion may be opposite.
Conclusions: Climate change will have notable impacts upon nutrition and food safety in developed countries, but further research is necessary to accurately quantify these impacts.
Conclusions: Climate warming may have co-driven the emergence of Lyme disease in northeastern North America, and in the future may drive substantial disease spread into new geographic regions and increase tick-borne disease risk where climate is currently suitable.
Here's one conclusion: Climate change skepticism is rooted more in psychology than ecology, and as a result, skeptics and believers tend to talk past each other.
Here's the conclusion: Climate models suggest that human activities, specifically the emission of atmospheric greenhouse gases, may lead to increases in the frequency of severe storms in certain regions of the Northern Hemisphere.
And it is categorical in its conclusion: climate change has not stopped and man is the main cause.It may be the last report of its kind: a growing chorus of experts thinks a more frequent, less bally-hooed and more up-to-date assessments would be more useful.
You may recall the concerns expressed at the time by Yadvinder Malhi, an Oxford University biologist who is focused on the Amazon and climate: If that conclusion was based on solid empirical science then so be it, but when such a story goes out on a pure model study (not yet peer-reviewed) with significant imperfections, it may do a lot of damage in the real world.
"There is still considerable work to be done," said Felipe Calderon, former president of Mexico and chairman of the Global Commission on the Economy and Climate, at the conclusion of the talks.
