Journal ArticleDOI
Are environmental Kuznets curves misleading us? The case of CO2 emissions
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compare EKC models to structural transition models of per capita CO2 emissions and per capita GDP, and find that for the 16 countries which have undergone such a transition, the initiation of the transition correlates not with income levels but with historic events related to the oil price shocks of the 1970s and the policies that followed them.
Journal ArticleDOI
Renewable energy costs, potentials, barriers: conceptual issues.
Aviel Verbruggen,Manfred Fischedick,William R. Moomaw,Tony Weir,Alain Nadaï,Lars J Nilsson,John Nyboer,Jayant Sathaye +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on the interrelations among the drivers of renewable energy and climate change, and propose a consistent set of potentials of renewable supplies, including costs and prices.
Journal ArticleDOI
Corrigendum: World Scientists’ Warning of a Climate Emergency
Journal ArticleDOI
An alternative analysis of apparent EKC-type transitions
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present evidence that this is not representative of the way many individual country's pollution emission trajectories evolve and question the emphasis on "income determinism" by the environmental Kuznets curve.
Journal ArticleDOI
Wetlands In a Changing Climate: Science, Policy and Management
William R. Moomaw,Gail L. Chmura,Gillian T. Davies,C. M. Finlayson,Beth A. Middleton,Susan M. Natali,James E. Perry,Nigel T. Roulet,Ariana E. Sutton-Grier +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors synthesize recent research on status and climate vulnerability of freshwater and saltwater wetlands, and their contribution to addressing climate change (carbon cycle, adaptation, resilience) and demonstrate the need to prevent drying of wetlands and thawing of permafrost by disturbances and rising temperatures to protect wetland carbon stores and climate adaptation/resiliency ecosystem services.
