Human activity factors (e.g., distance to nearest settlement and road) were secondary to climate as the primary fire occurrence factors.
The other major consideration is the impact of the secondary effects of climate change.
With increasing temperatures, the geographical area of dengue transmission is expected to increase (as a primary or secondary cause of climate change) and approximately 5 6 billion people will be at risk of the disease by the end of the century (16).
The paper then discusses the implications for the science policy interface and suggests that given current trajectories, science could come to play a secondary role to climate-change lore in regional political decision making concerning climate change.
In the context of climate warming, secondary ground icings may become more hazardous to the permafrost power line.
Before subjecting any drainage project into a problematic area, the primary data (technical, socioeconomic, geo-hydrological climate) and secondary (water quality) have to be collected, which are relevant to the particular area.
Given the dramatic loss of tropical forests and accelerating climate change, secondary forest regeneration is increasingly recognised as being an important method for reversing losses in biodiversity and carbon stocks.
In 2000, ALEC issued a model state bill with the Orwellian title "The Environmental Literacy Improvement Act," which would enable public primary and secondary schools to teach climate change denial, or "skepticism," as a valid scientific position.
In Louisiana, Tennessee, New Hampshire and other states, legislatures have either passed or put forward bills intended to disinform secondary-school students about climate science.
Besides the direct effect of the higher temperatures, the study outlines many secondary or related results of climate change.
