Continued global warming from aviation even under high-ambition mitigation scenarios
Decarbonizing the aviation sector is a significant challenge. The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) recently released long-term CO 2 -focused mitigation goals involving changes in fuel, efficiency improvements, and fossil jet fuel phase-out. The ultimate climate effect of these goals, however, was not assessed and moreover, the non-CO 2 emissions were not accounted for. Here, we use the CICERO-SCM climate model and consider global …
The contribution of global aviation to anthropogenic climate forcing for 2000 to 2018
Innovation in Traditions of Transformation
The Newar monastic compounds of the Kathmandu Valley (bāhāḥs and bahīs) are the centres of what is arguably the world's oldest continuously practised form of Buddhism. This article presents a preliminary analysis of a survey that revisited these compounds 25 years after the publication of John Locke's exhaustive study in order to understand how these fundamental institutions of Newar Buddhism have been affected by the radical transformations that…
Historical (1850–2000) gridded anthropogenic and biomass burning emissions of reactive gases and aerosols
We present and discuss a new dataset of gridded emissions covering the historical period (1850–2000) in decadal increments at a horizontal resolution of 0.5° in latitude and longitude. The primary purpose of this inventory is to provide consistent gridded emissions of reactive gases and aerosols for use in chemistry model simulations needed by climate models for the Climate Model Intercomparison Program #5 (CMIP5) in support of the Intergovernmen…
Aviation and global climate change in the 21st century
Monumentality, Identity, and the State
Over the past decade, democratization, economic liberalization, and a new politics of ethnicity have contributed to the emergence of new modes of devotional activities that have been shaping sacred sites in the Kathmandu Valley for millennia. Locally initiated devotional transformations of these sites now threaten the "monumental" integrity of places that UNESCO has designated "monumental zones," and new debates about fundamentally ancient proces…
Envisioning Identity
Through an analysis of diverse accounts offered by those who perform "god's work" for a large religious festival in the Kathmandu Valley, I argue that the oppositional frameworks typically used to understand divergent perspectives are inadequate to understand the multifocal polyphony that these accounts (as well as most other ethnographic settings) present. The terms of argument upon which conflicting accounts agree suggest that esoteric concepts…
Unruly readings
This paper considers the various ways that the work of Aragon, French, Berdahl, George, and Taylor, included in this volume, individually and collectively suggest elaborations and modifications of Appadurai's important work, The Social Life of Things: Commodities in Cultural Perspective, 'from which they have all taken inspiration. They present instances of complex paradoxical relations between value, singularity, and commodity status; indicate t…

Hunting and Gathering in Tropical Rain Forest
Hunters and gatherers living in tropical forests represent an important part of the total range of variation among contemporary hunting and gathering societies. Studies of tropical forest hunting and gathering peoples have contributed to our perceptions of the foraging way of life. Yet no peoples have ever been directly observed living independently of agriculture in tropical rain forest. This article tests the hypothesis that humans do not exist…
