No detectable decrease in extreme cold-related mortality in Canada from Arctic sea ice loss
Arctic amplification (AA), the phenomenon by which Arctic surface temperatures are warming faster than the global average, may have significant unexplored impacts on temperature-related mortality in human populations across Canada. We explore the role of Arctic sea ice loss, a key driver of AA, in changing cold temperature extremes across Canada and their impact on human mortality. We use a multi-model ensemble of climate simulations from the Pol…
Change in cooling degree days with global mean temperature rise increasing from 1.5 °C to 2.0 °C
Limiting global mean temperature rise to 1.5 °C is increasingly out of reach. Here we show the impact on global cooling demand in moving from 1.5 °C to 2.0 °C of global warming. African countries have the highest increase in cooling requirements. Switzerland, the United Kingdom and Norway (traditionally unprepared for heat) will suffer the largest relative cooling demand surges. Immediate and unprecedented adaptation interventions are required wo…

Changes in European wind energy generation potential within a 1.5 °C warmer world
Global climate model simulations from the 'Half a degree Additional warming, Prognosis and Projected Impacts' (HAPPI) project were used to assess how wind power generation over Europe would change in a future world where global temperatures reach 1.5 C above pre-industrial levels. Comparing recent historical (2006Comparing recent historical ( -2015) ) and future 1.5 C forcing experiments highlights that the climate models demonstrate a northward …
Global meteorological influences on the record UK rainfall of winter 2013–14
The UK experienced record average rainfall in winter 2013-14, leading to widespread and prolonged flooding. The immediate cause of this exceptional rainfall was a very strong and persistent cyclonic atmospheric circulation over the North East Atlantic Ocean. This was related to a very strong North Atlantic jet stream which resulted in numerous damaging wind storms. These exceptional meteorological conditions have led to renewed questions about wh…
Ancient Stepmothers
Ancient Stepmothers is the first full-length study of the stepmother in Graeco-Roman antiquity. Several perspectives are covered: literary, historical and sociological, the last-mentioned making use of comparative material from modern studies of stepfamilies. The portrayal of the stepmother in myth and literature is thoroughly explored. The historical background in Athens and Rome is examined with a view to determining the relationship between fi…
