Greenhouse effect and climate change: scientific basis and overview
TLDR
A review of the topic including the physics of the greenhouse effect is given in this article, where the authors suggest that reducing use of fossil fuels and increasing use of alternative sources of energy coupled with energy conservation strategies are needed to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases.About:

The pollutant emissions from diesel-engine vehicles and exhaust aftertreatment systems
TL;DR: In this article, the emissions from diesel engines and their control systems are reviewed and the legal restrictions on exhaust-gas emissions around the world and the effects of exhaust gas emissions on human health and environment are explained.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ocean temperature variability for the past 60 years on the Norwegian-Svalbard margin influences gas hydrate stability on human time scales
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed World Ocean Database quality controlled data on the Norwegian-Svalbard continental margin from the past 60 years to evaluate the potential effect of ocean temperature variations on continental margin gas hydrate reservoirs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Trend analysis and first time observations of sulphur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide in South Africa using TROPOMI/Sentinel-5 P data
TL;DR: It is shown that the energy created in South Africa is not necessary clean, as the increase of SO2 over the years could be due to the increasing demand in electricity, aging power stations and the low quality of coal used.

Climate change impacts in the energy supply of the Brazilian hydro-dominant power system
Anderson Rodrigo de Queiroz,Luana M.M. Lima,J.W.M. Lima,Benedito Cláudio da Silva,Luciana A. Scianni +4 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of different climate scenarios in the water inflows produced by the regional Eta climate model were analyzed and shown that climate change may drastically impact the system assured energy and consequently, the system's capability to supply load.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of climate change on biodiversity and food security: a global perspective—a review article
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify, appraise, and synthesize the link between climate change, biodiversity, and food security, and recommend degraded land restoration, land use changes, use of bio-energy, sustainable forest management, and community based biodiversity conservation are recommended to mitigate climate change impacts.

The "greenhouse" effect and climate change
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an improved representation of cloud in numerical models, obtaining a better understanding of vertical mixing in the deep ocean, and determining the inherent variability of the ocean-atmosphere system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Potential climate impact of Mount Pinatubo eruption
TL;DR: In this article, the GISS global-climate model is used to make a preliminary estimate of Mount Pinatubo's climate impact, assuming the aerosol optical depth is nearly twice as great as for the 1982 El Chichon eruption.
Journal ArticleDOI
Climate and the earth's radiation budget
TL;DR: The role played by clouds in the global radiation energy balance is investigated in this paper, with a view to the role of clouds in reducing the global radii absorbed by the atmospheric column.
