4. 17. Non-CO2 greenhouse gases, uncertainty and land-use competition

   Author : Daniel Johansson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Kyoto protocol; energy system; integrated assessment; environmental economics; land use change; bioenergy; climate change; greenhouse gases; GWP;

   Abstract : Over the past 250 years the concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere have increased drastically. It is close to scientific consensus that these changes have increased the temperature of the earth. READ MORE

5. 18. Modelling the early to mid-Holocene Arctic climate

   Author : Marit Berger; Arne Johansson; Rodrigo Caballero; KTH; []
   Keywords : Arctic; early Holocene; mid-Holocene; climate modelling; paleoclimate; sea ice; climate change;

   Abstract : In the recent past it has become evident that the Earth's climate is changing, and that human activity play a significant role in these changes. One of the regions where the ongoing climate change has been most evident is in the Arctic: the surface temperature has increased twice as much in this region as compared to the global average, in addition, a significant decline in the Arctic sea-ice extent has been observed in the past decades.
