The IPCC Special Report on Renewable Energy Sources and Climate Change Mitigation (SRREN) provides a comprehensive review concerning these sources and technologies, the relevant costs and benefits, and their potential role in a portfolio of mitigation options. For the first time, an inclusive account of costs and greenhouse gas emissions across various technologies and scenarios confirms the key role of renewable sources, irrespective of any tangible climate change mitigation agreement. ...

temperatures, food production will be destabilized by drought, air pollution will lead to an increase in allergies and asthma, and warmer waters and floods will increase the risk of waterborne diseases. Climate changes affect social and environmental health determinants such as clean air, ecosystem health, safe drinking water and sufficient healthy food. Temperature-related death and illness, extreme events, and polluted or stressed ecosystems represent important issues of increasing conc...

Climate Change (ATMO 1020) Chapter 5: ODP Highlights [CQ-5] Graded A+ What quirky fact about CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) makes them notorious for ozone depletion? CFCs were once considered "miracle chemicals" for their stability and non-toxic nature, but they turned out to be stealthy villains, sneaking up to the stratosphere to wreak havoc on the ozone. How do scientists track the health of the ozone layer in real-time? Scientists use sophisticated satellite technology and groun...
