We show that shifts in seasonal mean and variance vary from … location to location, indicating that all sources of trends other than mean and variance would rise trends over spatial scales …

We analyse the influence of climate on average life satisfaction in 87 countries using data from the World Values … Survey. Climate is described in terms of 'degree-months' calculated using an optimally-selected base temperature of 65°F (18 … to analyse a particular climate change scenario associated with the IPCC A2 emissions scenario points to major losses for …

Ranking regions … according to the preferred climates households appear strongly to favour the Mediterranean climate over the climate of Northern …

The effects of extreme weather events, such as heat waves and droughts are taken into account in both global and … extreme weather events, in particular, droughts and high temperatures, for the German power sector. Furthermore, we consider … droughts. We stress that increasing frequencies of such extreme weather events will aggravate the observed problem, especially …
