“…Considering the GCC literature, in the first years the most frequent keywords indicated the main causes of global climate change and, indeed, at that time most papers were discussing the evidences of human activities in the climate changes (Grimm et al 2008;Gleick et al 2010). In more recent years, the most frequent keywords indicated concern about the effects of climate change on biodiversity, including the geographical distribution of species and effects on their physiology and phenology.…”

“…Scientific understanding of GCC contributed to the debate among environmentalists and political groups concerned with economic growth (Gleick et al 2010;Dessler & Parson 2010). Moreover, the topic of global climate change has been included in the agendas of political institutions of many countries (Velders et al 2007;Cohen et al 2009).…”

“…Questions about the real impacts of GCC on biodiversity and some aspects of human security have been the main focus of the scientific community in recent years (Karl & Trenberth 2003;Gleick et al 2010). For example, several studies highlight the impact of global climate change on food security (e.g., Lobel et al 2008), economic use of species (e.g., Nabout et al 2011), conservation planning (Garcia & Araújo 2010), spread of diseases (e.g., Lafferty 2009), invasive species (e.g, Bradley et al 2010) and economic parameters (e.g., Torres et al 2012).…”

The purpose of this study is to conduct a scientometric analysis of the global climate change (GCC) literature to identify the patterns, trends and biases in this research field. Data were obtained using the Thomson ISI database. A total of 5,444 articles on GCC were recorded, showing a temporal increase in the number of articles (r = 0.84; P < 0.0001). Most the articles look at the impact of climate change on geophysical variables, humans and vegetation. Few studies look at fungi, amphibians or reptiles (H = 24.6; P < 0.0001, N = 27). Principal component analysis revealed a temporal difference in the keywords associated with each article. In the first years we observed that the most frequent keywords indicated worry about the main causes of global climate change, but this shifted in more recent years towards keywords indicating concern with the effects of climate change on biodiversity. We argue that this scientometric study can help guide future climate change research and contribute to our understanding of several poorly studied areas.

“…Climate change science recognises that it must improve communication of its work especially where disagreement and uncertainties exist (Anderegg, 2010;Weichselgartner & Kasperson, 2010). However, improvements in communication can only go so far when competing against extensive campaigns by some organisations, including the role of conservative think tanks with respect to organised environmental skepticism, to discredit climate change science (Gleick, 2010;Jacques et al, 2008;Manne, 2012).…”

No time for smokescreen skepticism: A rejoinder to Shani and Arad

et al. 2015

HighlightsRejoinder to claims of Shani and Arad (2014) Extent of scientific consensus on climate change indicated Evidence for climate change is observational and predictive Extent of tourism related emissions indicated Concern of climate denial for scientific debate and communication Shani and Arad (2014) claimed that tourism scholars tend to endorse the most pessimistic assessments regarding climate change, and that anthropogenic climate change was a fashionable and highly controversial scientific topic . This brief rejoinder provides the balance that is missing from such climate change denial and skepticism studies on climate change and tourism. Recent research provides substantial evidence that reports on anthropogenic climate change are accurate, and that humaninduced greenhouse gas emissions, including from the tourism industry, play a significant role in climate change. Some positive net effects may be experienced by some destinations in the short-term, but in the long-term all elements of the tourism system will be impacted. The expansion of tourism emissions at a rate greater than efficiency gains means that it is increasingly urgent that the tourism sector acknowledge, accept and respond to climate change. Debate on tourism-related adaptation and mitigation measures is to be encouraged and welcomed. Climate change denial is not. . ABSTRACT

“…Climate change is real (Gleick et al 2010). Although direct health impacts of climate change are, on average, expected to be only modest in countries of the Northern hemisphere, specific population groups might be affected disproportionally (OcCC/ProClim 2007).…”
