EU Climate and Energy Security after 24 February 2022
Before 2022, EU conceptions of climate and energy security had begun to converge in a ‘virtuous synergy’ that supported the Union’s continuing attempts at international climate policy leadership. This paper argues that the more orthodox military security

Operative utilization of agricultural wastes for amending pyrolysed carbonaceous feedstock, or biochar, in a simulated unindustrialized agricultural setting. [PDF]
Biochar—pyrolysed organic material—has the capacity to sequester recalcitrant carbon, making it a viable method of carbon capture and storage internationally.

Climate actions by climate and non-climate researchers
Abstract Tackling climate change requires both systemic changes and individual lifestyle changes. Are those best placed to understand the risks and solutions to climate change acting on their knowledge? In a large-scale study of N = 9220 researchers across 115 countries, we found that climate researchers reported engaging in considerably more advocacy ...

A Hierarchical Statistical Framework for Emergent Constraints: Application to Snow‐Albedo Feedback
Emergent constraints use relationships between future and current climate states to constrain projections of climate response. Here we introduce a statistical, hierarchical emergent constraint (HEC) framework in order to link future and current climates ...

Simulated Global Climate Response to Tropospheric Ozone‐Induced Changes in Plant Transpiration
Tropospheric ozone (O3) pollution is known to damage vegetation, reducing photosynthesis and stomatal conductance, resulting in modified plant transpiration to the atmosphere.

Climate Change, Climate Modes, and Climate Impacts
▪ Abstract Variability of the atmospheric and oceanic circulations in the earth system gives rise to an array of naturally occurring dynamical modes. Instead of being spatially independent or spatially uniform, climate variability in different parts of the globe is orchestrated by one or a combination of several climate modes, and global changes take
