“…The released GHGs and heat have induced a strong influence on temperature spatial distribution in recent years (Li and Zhao, 2012), especially in developing countries, where the economic policy relies on extensive growth, which favours results, despite lower resource efficiency and energy waste. Jiang and Hardee (2011) noted that main factors influencing anthropogenic effects on aerosol emission are economic growth, technological change, and population growth, which cannot be easily simulated using numerical models (Zhou et al, 2010). Recently, better understanding about the effects of human activities on dryland expansion in various scenarios has been achieved (Huang et al, 2016b).…”

Abstract. Although anthropogenic dust has received more attention from the climate research community, its dominant role in the production process is still not identified. In this study, we analysed the relationship between anthropogenic dust and population density/change over global semi-arid regions and found that semi-arid regions are major source regions in producing anthropogenic dust. The results showed that the relationship between anthropogenic dust and population is more obvious in cropland than in other land cover types (crop mosaics, grassland, and urbanized regions) and that the production of anthropogenic dust increases as the population density grows to more than 90 persons km −2 . Four selected semi-arid regions, namely East China, India, North America, and North Africa, were used to explore the relationship between anthropogenic dust production and regional population. The most significant relationship between anthropogenic dust and population occurred in an Indian semi-arid region that had a greater portion of cropland, and the high peak of anthropogenic dust probability appeared with 220 persons km −2 of population density and 60 persons km −2 of population change. These results suggest that the influence of population on production of anthropogenic dust in semi-arid regions is obvious in cropland regions. However, the impact does not always have a positive contribution to the production of anthropogenic dust, and overly excessive population will suppress the increase of anthropogenic dust. Moreover, radiative and climate effects of increasing anthropogenic dust need more investigation.

“…The regional environment change has a close relationship with local population density and economic development level. Jiang and Hardee (2011) found that economic growth, technological changes, and population growth are the main elements of anthropogenic effects on emissions, which cannot be simulated easily by numerical models (Zhou et al, 2010). More recently, there have been some studies on understanding the implications of population growth, worker structure, and economic intensity for various scenarios of environmental change.…”

Role of radiatively forced temperature changes in enhanced semi-arid warming in the cold season over east Asia

et al. 2015

Abstract.As climate change has occurred over east Asia since the 1950s, intense interest and debate have arisen concerning the contribution of human activities to the observed warming in past decades. In this study, we investigate regional surface temperature change during the boreal cold season using a recently developed methodology that can successfully identify and separate the dynamically induced temperature (DIT) and radiatively forced temperature (RFT) changes in raw surface air temperature (SAT) data. For regional averages, DIT and RFT contribute 44 and 56 % to the SAT over east Asia, respectively. The DIT changes dominate the SAT decadal variability and are mainly determined by internal climate variability, represented by the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO), and Atlantic Multi-decadal Oscillation (AMO). Radiatively forced SAT changes have made a major contribution to the global-scale warming trend and the regionalscale enhanced semi-arid warming (ESAW). Such enhanced warming is also found in radiatively forced daily maximum and minimum SAT. The long-term global-mean SAT warming trend is mainly related to radiative forcing produced by global well-mixed greenhouse gases. The regional anthropogenic radiative forcing, however, caused the enhanced warming in the semi-arid region, which may be closely associated with local human activities. Finally, the relationship between the so-called "global warming hiatus" and regional enhanced warming is discussed.

“…into the resulting increase with the increase of energy consumption with aging degree. This conclusion and scholars Zhu Qin [9], Chen Jing [10] similar results, the influence of the aging of China's Carbon emissions may not be significant or it is not clear. The aging of many research results also show that the effects of energy use and Carbon emissions mechanism is very complex, and it will lead to increase or decrease of energy consumption and Carbon emissions is not clear.…”
