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.

A MCDM-based expert system for climate-change impact assessment and adaptation planning - A case study for the Georgia Basin, Canada
TL;DR: An MCDM-based expert system was developed to tackle the interrelationships between the climate change and the adaptation policies in terms of water resources management in the Georgia Basin, Canada and can be applied to other watersheds to facilitate assessment of climate-change impacts on socio-economic and environmental sectors.

Climate change and environmental concentrations of POPs: A review.
TL;DR: An intensification of studies to identify and mitigate the indirect effects of the climate change on POP fate is needed to minimize the human health impact, and interactions between climate change and POPs must be addressed from an international perspective.

Polyethyleneimine-nano silica composites: a low-cost and promising adsorbent for CO2 capture
TL;DR: In this paper, an impregnation of polyethyleneimine (PEI) into nano silica as support for CO2 adsorbents was presented. But, no evident deactivation of amines was observed under this condition, and the formation of linear or cyclic urea is one reason which led to the decrease of CO2 adaption capacity.

Cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) from fresh and aged air pollution in the megacity region of Beijing
Sachin S. Gunthe,Diana Rose,Hang Su,Rebecca M. Garland,Peggy Achtert,Andreas Nowak,Alfred Wiedensohler,Mikinori Kuwata,Mikinori Kuwata,Nobuyuki Takegawa,Yutaka Kondo,Min Hu,Min Shao,Tong Zhu,Meinrat O. Andreae,Ulrich Pöschl +15 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured and characterized CCN properties during the CAREBeijing-2006 campaign at a regional site south of the megacity of Beijing, China, and derived the hygroscopicity parameters derived from the measurements were consistent with chemical composition data recorded by an aerosol mass spectrometer (AMS) and thermo-optical measurements of apparent elemental and organic carbon (EC and OC).
Testing for tree-ring divergence in the European Alps
TL;DR: In this article, a network of 124 larch and spruce sites across the European Alpine arc were selected based on their correlation with early (1864−1933) instrumental temperatures to assess their ability of tracking recent (1934−2003) temperature variations.
