TL;DR: In this paper, the construction of a 10' latitude/longitude data set of mean monthly sur-face climate over global land areas, excluding Antarctica, was described, which includes 8 climate conditions: precipitation, wet-day frequency, temperature, diurnal temperature range, relative humid-ity, sunshine duration, ground frost frequency and windspeed.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors review insights from history, sociology and psychology of risk, economics and political science to develop four propositions concerning limits to adaptation and conclude that these issues of values and ethics, risk, knowledge, attitudes to risk and culture construct societal limits, but that these limits are mutable.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the construction of a 0.58-latent-long gridded dataset of monthly terrestrial surface climate for the period of 1901-96, which consists of seven climate elements: precipitation, mean temperature, diurnal temperature range, wet-day frequency, vapor pressure, cloud cover, and ground frost frequency.

TL;DR: In this article, a 0.5° lat × 0. 5° long surface climatology of global land areas, excluding Antarctica, is described, which represents the period 1961-90 and comprises a suite of nine variables: precipitation, wet-day frequency, mean temperature, diurnal temperature range, vapor pressure, sunshine, cloud cover, ground frost frequency, and wind speed.

TL;DR: Hulme as discussed by the authors uses different standpoints from science, economics, faith, psychology, communication, sociology, politics and development to explain why we disagree about climate change and shows that climate change, far from being simply an 'issue' or a 'threat', can act as a catalyst to revise our perception of our place in the world.
