Unilateral Action on Climate Change and the Moral Obligation to Take Leadership
Journal of Social Philosophy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We claim that a moral obligation to take climate leadership by means of unilateral mitigation depends on the existence of a plausible follow‐the‐leader mechanism whereby unilateral mitigation by some increases the probability of sufficient mitigation by others to avert catastrophic climate impacts.

Improving Our Understanding of Antarctic Sea Ice with NASA's Operation IceBridge and the Upcoming ICESat-2 Mission [PDF]
Antarctic sea ice is a crucial component of the global climate system. Rapid sea ice production regimes around Antarctica feed the lower branch of the Southern Ocean overturning circulation through intense brine rejection and the formation of Antarctic ...

Antarctic sea ice increase consistent with intrinsic variability of the Amundsen Sea Low
Climate Dynamics, 2016 We investigate the relationship between atmospheric circulation variability and the recent trends in Antarctic sea ice extent (SIE) using Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5) atmospheric data, ECMWF Interim reanalysis fields and passive ...

Tracing the biogeographic history of the world's most isolated insular floras
Journal of Systematics and Evolution, EarlyView.We inferred the spatio–temporal colonization histories of seven vascular plant lineages (Acaena magellanica, Austroblechnum penna‐marina, Azorella selago, Colobanthus kerguelensis, Notogrammitis crassior, Polystichum marionense, Pringlea antiscorbutica) using phylogenetic, divergence time estimation, and Bayesian Island Biogeographic analyses.

Spring–summer albedo variations of Antarctic sea ice from 1982 to 2009
Environmental Research Letters, 2015 This study examined the spring–summer (November, December, January and February) albedo averages and trends using a dataset consisting of 28 years of homogenized satellite data for the entire Antarctic sea ice region and for five longitudinal sectors ...

Brief communication: Changing mid-twentieth century Antarctic sea ice variability linked to tropical forcing (Discussion Paper) [PDF]
, 2017 Satellite observations demonstrate Antarctic sea ice extent increased between late-1978 and 2015, with significant spatial and seasonal variability. Late spring retreat off George V Land is a major component of the observed increase, but the paucity of ...

Sovereign Debt in a Warming World: Are Credit Ratings Responding to Climate Risks?
Kyklos, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Investors and policymakers increasingly worry that climate change threatens sovereign debt. While recent studies find a negative effect, they typically estimate models assuming a time‐invariant impact and rely on climate variables endogenous to economic and policy conditions.
