Nursing’s metaparadigm, climate change and planetary health

Nursing Inquiry, 2020
AbstractThis paper offers a theoretical discussion on why the nursing profession has had a delayed response to the issue of climate change. We suggest this delay may have been influenced by the early days of nursing's professionalization. Specifically, we examine nursing's professional mandate, the generally accepted metaparadigm, and the grand ...

6. Planetary climate and habitability

2021
‘Planetary climate and habitability’ studies planetary climate, particularly the way an atmosphere affects temperature and a planet's habitability. The entire temperature profile, from the planet's centre to the tenuous outer reaches of its atmosphere (if it has one), is of importance.

Planetary Motion, Sunspots and Climate

1979
Past attempts to link sunspots with the gravitational attraction by planets or with the orbital motion of the Sun have not been successful. In this paper the changes in orbital angular momenta of planets due to gravitational perturbation are considered.

Climate and Oceans Planetary Boundaries: for Climate Literacy

2022
<p>This paper argues that to inform climate-ocean literacy the 2015 Planetary Boundaries (PBs) paper (Will Steffen, 2015) as a guide for “human development on a changing planet” by “a safe operating space for humanity”, requires urgent updating with  extension of ...

Planetary Climates

2013
This clear and concise introduction to planetary climates explains the global physical and chemical processes that determine climate on any planet or major planetary satellite—from Mercury to Neptune and even large moons such as Saturn's Titan. The book presents a tour of our solar system's diverse planetary atmospheres, providing a rich foundation on ...

PHASES OF PLANETARY CLIMATIC CYCLES

Vestnik of North-Eastern Federal University. Series "Earth Sciences", 2019
Для климатических изменений, происходивших в течение последних 400 тысяч лет, характерна цикличность. На протяжении этого отрезка времени имело место 5 климатических циклов. В отличие от существующего представления, объясняющего климатические циклы изменениями солнечной активности, авторы объясняют цикличность автоколебаниями саморегулируемой ...

Solar Variability of Possible Relevance for Planetary Climates

Space Science Reviews, 2006
The global variability of the Sun of relevance for planetary climates has been directly measured for the past few decades. For longer stretches of time models are required. Semi-empirical models can now accurately reproduce the measured records of solar total and spectral irradiance, as well as of the magnetic flux.

Planetary mass, vegetation height and climate

International Journal of Astrobiology, 2019
AbstractThe maximum height trees can grow on Earth is around 122–130 m. The height is constrained by two factors: the availability of water, and where water is not limiting, the pressure available to drive the column of water along the xylem vessels against the pull of gravity (cohesion tension).

Climate change and the planetary trust

Energy Policy, 1992
Abstract Three models for thinking about our responsibilities with respect to climate change are compared and evaluated. One is concerned with maximizing the present discounted value of consumption; the second views climate change through the lens of the tragedy of the commons. Both of these approaches are found to rest on implausible assumptions.
