Climate Change 2007: The Physical Science Basis Summary for Policymakers:
Abstract: The Working Group I contribution to the IPCC Fourth Assessment Report describes progress in understanding of the
human and natural drivers of climate change1, observed climate change, climate processes and attribution, and
estimates of projected future climate change. It builds upon past IPCC assessments and incorporates new findings from the past six years of research. Scientific progress since the TAR is based upon large amounts of new and more
comprehensive data, more sophisticated analyses of data, improvements in understanding of processes and their
simulation in models, and more extensive exploration of uncertainty ranges.

Effect of land use land cover change on soil erosion potential in an agricultural watershed.
TL;DR: This study revealed that the spatial location of LUC parcels with respect to terrain and associated soil properties should be an important consideration in soil erosion assessment process.

Australian politicians’ beliefs about climate change: political partisanship and political ideology
TL;DR: A survey of Australian politicians demonstrates that political party affiliation and ideology have a powerful influence on climate change beliefs as discussed by the authors, highlighting the need to build consensus through constructing climate change messages that appeal to closely aligned voters.

Organic contaminant amplification during snowmelt.
Torsten Meyer,Frank Wania +1 more
TL;DR: A more quantitative understanding of the behaviour of organic contaminants in varying snowmelt scenarios will depend on controlled laboratory studies combined with field investigations, and reliable numerical process descriptions will need to be developed to integrate water quality and contaminant fate models.

Stranded on a low-carbon planet: : Implications of climate policy for the phase-out of coal-based power plants
Nils Johnson,Volker Krey,David L. McCollum,Shilpa Rao,Keywan Riahi,Keywan Riahi,Joeri Rogelj,Joeri Rogelj +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors explored the relationship between near-term climate policy and coal capacity and explored strategies for reducing stranded capacity, assuming a long-term goal of limiting warming to 2 °C.

Ecological resilience and resilient cities
TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider the role of ecological resilience in urban environments and propose an approach to promote sustainable urban environments by incorporating the ecological understanding of resilience into the discourse, where sustainability is seen as a social, normative goal, which can be promoted using the mechanisms of environmental resilience.
