SSRN Electronic Journal, 2006 Recognizing that individualism, or weak family ties, may be favorable to economic development, we ask how family ties interact with climate to determine individual behavior and whether there is reason to believe that the strength of family ties evolves differently in different climates.

Climate Change and Climate Justice
2021As pointed out by the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), there is little doubt that climate change will increase inequalities between countries, sectors of activities and individuals who have the means to adapt and those who do not. This holds particularly for people living in least developed countries, most of them being especially ...

Climate and climate variability
2010In the following we describe some basic concepts that are fundamental for understanding (marine) climate and climate variability. We begin with a brief historical review on earlier and more modern concepts of climate and subsequently define marine weather and marine climate as used throughout the remainder of this book (Section 1.2).

As I write, the city of New Orleans is under water for the second time in less than one month, and perhaps as many as 1,000 of its inhabitants are dead from Hurricane Katrina and its aftermath. Hurricane Katrina is being called the costliest natural disaster ever to hit the United States.1 But it has also been labeled the worst “unnatural” disaster,2 ...

Climate and the Climate System
1988The climate and global climate system are reviewed in terms of the characteristic physical processes which operate within and between its atmospheric, oceanic, cryospheric and land surface components. Together with conditions external to the system, these processes are responsible for both the maintenance and change of climate over time scales ranging ...

The Nature of Climate and Climatic Variations
IEEE Transactions on Geoscience Electronics, 1976The climate system consists of the atmosphere, the oceans, the cryosphere (land ice, snow, sea ice), the lithosphere, and the biomass. The behavior of the individual components of the system is governed by processes occurring over a broad range of time and space scales. The components are coupled by physical, biological, and chemical processes, and the
