We now have more challenging choices to make than simply whether to be vegan, pescatarian or carnivore, thanks to technology.
Global climate change is projected to change our planet this century and beyond.
Thoughts from the Media Lab's Space Enabled group and Space Exploration Initiative
Small rises in temperature and dramatic weather events resulting from warming can affect mental health.
Obradovich, N., Migliorini, R., Paulus, M. P., & Rahwan, I. (2018). Empirical evidence of mental health risks posed by climate change. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1801528115
Climate change presents a grave threat to overall human well-being, including mental health.
Add deadly car crashes and food safety risks — and the officials overseeing them — to the list of things affected by climate change.
Effects of environmental stressors on daily governance, Nick Obradovich, Dustin Tingley, Iyad Rahwan Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences Aug 2018, 201803765; DOI: 10.1073/pnas.1803765115
On excessively hot days, there are more likely to be fatal car accidents and food safety problems, and police officers and government foo...
First, climate change was blamed for coastal flooding and wildfires. The links seemed intuitive and the effects observable. But more...
If we are unable to adapt to climate change, it may amplify the marginal gap between citizen need and government assistance.
Weather really can affect our mood—or at least the way we express our emotions on social media, according to a study published Wednesday ...
