  • Total economic costs of climate change at different discount rates for market and non-market values

    Open AccessTakahiro Oda, Jun’ya Takakura et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2023

    What will be the aggregated cost of climate change in achieving the Paris Agreement, including mitigation, adaptation, and residual impacts? Several studies estimated the aggregated cost but did not always consider the critical issues. Some do not address non-market values such as biodiversity and human health, and most do not address differentiating discount rates. In this study, we estimate the aggregated cost of climate change using an integra…

    Open AccessAna M Vicedo‐Cabrera, Noah Scovronick et al.ARTICLENature Climate Change2021

    Climate change affects human health; however, there have been no large-scale, systematic efforts to quantify the heat-related human health impacts that have already occurred due to climate change. Here, we use empirical data from 732 locations in 43 countries to estimate the mortality burdens associated with the additional heat exposure that has resulted from recent human-induced warming, during the period 1991-2018. Across all study countries, w…

  • Energy transitions, air quality and health

    Open AccessGavin Pereira, Mary Lou Bell et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2021

    The way we produce and use energy is transforming. Policy in this area intersects decisions that affect climate change, air quality, and the economy. The exponential increase in use of fossil fuel and nuclear energy has now essentially replaced human and animal energy (McKinney 2019 Curr. Pollut. Rep. 5 394–406; Solomon and Krishna 2011 Energy Policy 39 7422–31). These transitions have contributed to notable gains, such as improvements in mortali…

  • The Role of Influenza in the Delay between Low Temperature and Ischemic Heart Disease

    Open AccessChisato Imai, Adrian Barnett et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2016

    Many studies have found that cardiovascular deaths mostly occur within a few days of exposure to heat, whereas cold-related deaths can occur up to 30 days after exposure. We investigated whether influenza infection could explain the delayed cold effects on ischemic heart diseases (IHD) as they can trigger IHD. We hypothesized two pathways between cold exposure and IHD: a direct pathway and an indirect pathway through influenza infection. We creat…
