The importance of glacier and forest change in hydrological climate
... The rapid and severe global glacier retreat due to the past increase in temperature is very well documented (see e.g., Arendt et al., 2002; Dyurgerov and Meier, 1997; Paul et al., 2004) and easy to comprehend. Concerning the increase in tree line it is often argued that trees are incapable of respon ...

Inequality, communication, and the avoidance of disastrous climate change in a public goods game (opens in new window)
... inequality in endowments is mirrored by inequality in past appropriation of the climate commons; roughly speaking, the richer a nation is, the more “carbon space” it has used in the atmosphere attributable to past greenhouse gas emissions (29, 30). We test its implications in the laboratory, with 24 ...

Timing of abrupt climate change at the end of the Younger Dryas
