As the planet continues to warm, development gains will be eroded unless nations and communities become more resilient.
Despite the pervasive effect of ocean warming on development, this factor is rarely considered in studies of climate change impacts.
Both supporters and opponents of action to fight global warming say the development is significant because businesses that chart a financial course to make money in a carbon-constrained future could be more inclined to support policies that address climate change.
We hypothesize that this effect of warming on bud development of 'Titania' is due to a relatively low chilling requirement, which may partly have been met in November.
Based largely on studies of vector and/or parasite development, warming and increases in humidity are predicted to open up new zones for malaria in Africa (Epstein et al., 1998; Martens, 1999), parasitic nematodes in the Arctic (Kutz et al., 2005), West Nile Virus (Reisen et al., 2006), Lyme disease in North America (Ogden et al., 2008), and Schistosomiasis in China (Zhou et al., 2008).
Coral are facing a whole reef-load of challenges, from warming, acidic oceans, to development and exploitation.
Seen in a wider context, nuclear power may help alleviate global warming, foster development, contribute to energy security, and perhaps provide an arena for political cooperation.
International conferences are routinely organized to debate global warming, sustainable development, water resources, destruction of forests, endemic poverty, the AIDS epidemic, housing needs and other facets of the global crisis.
Due to fossil fuel crisis, atmospheric pollution, and global warming, the development of renewable and clean energy forms has become a critical task for the human society.
Agricultural development is warming streams at the headwaters of the Xingu River, in Mato Grosso, Brazil.
