TL;DR: It is pointed out that society may also benefit from attending to ongoing impacts of climate in the present, because current climatic conditions impose economic and social burdens on populations today that rival in magnitude the projected end-of-century impacts ofClimate change.

TL;DR: This analysis of India demonstrates that the climate, particularly temperature, has strong influence over a growing suicide epidemic, and delivers large-scale quantitative evidence linking climate and agricultural income to self-harm in a developing country.

TL;DR: It is found that ultraviolet (UV) radiation has a statistically significant effect on daily COVID-19 growth rates, indicating that UV has a substantially smaller effect on the spread of the disease than social distancing policies.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that the release of one ton of CO2 today is projected to reduce total future energy expenditures, with most estimates valued between −US$3 and − US$1, depending on discount rates.

TL;DR: This article developed the first globally comprehensive and empirically grounded estimates of mortality risk due to future temperature increases caused by climate change using 40 countries' subnational data, using age-specific mortality-temperature relationships that enable both extrapolation to countries without data and projection into future years while accounting for adaptation.
