Public climate-change skepticism,energy preferences and political participation     

Anita Engels  Otto Hüther  Mike Schäfer  Hermann Held 《Global Environmental Change》2013,23(5):1018-1027

Many studies have shown a general decline of public concern about climate change or vice versa a rise in public climate-change skepticism, in particular in the U.S. and other Anglo-Saxon countries. There is a vivid debate on whether this is a global phenomenon, on which factors explain the decline, and on the broader societal implications of these trends in the context of the transformation toward a low-carbon society. We add to this literature by presenting the results of a recent general population survey in Germany in which we looked for systematic linkages between public climate-change skepticism on one hand, and energy preferences and political participation on the other. Germany is an interesting testbed as it is currently involved in a large-scale restructuring of its system of energy supply toward renewable energy sources (the “Energiewende”). Our results indicate that climate-change skepticism has not diffused widely in Germany, but that it correlates with less support of renewable energy sources. However, skepticism correlates negatively with political participation, and there is no strong political outlet for public climate-change skepticism in Germany. Alternative potential barriers for the successful implementation of the “Energiewende” are also discussed.  相似文献   

The effect of energy on the adoption of conservation tillage in the United States     

N. D. Uri 《Environmental Geology》1999,37(1-2):9-18

 The impact of energy on the adoption of conservation tillage is of special importance in addressing concerns about the effect of agricultural production on the environment in the United States. It is the subject of this paper. After establishing that a relationship exists between the price of energy and the adoption of conservation tillage via cointegration techniques, the relationship is quantified. It is shown that while the real price of crude oil, the proxy used for the price of energy, does not affect the rate of adoption of conservation tillage, it does impact the extent to which it is used. Finally, there is no structural instability in the relationship between the relative use of conservation tillage and the real price of crude oil over the period 1963–1997.

2006年 9月17～22日在秭归泄滩镇西侧发生了一次极微震群活动,其中最大地震为9月20日21时10分 ML1.8级.分析结果表明:本次震群的震中主要集中于泄滩镇老石门村至老泄滩一线,震源深度为海平面以上0.5 km范围内,为正倾滑机制解;该震群频谱最佳频率主要集中在2 Hz左右,初步推断该震群为地表层重力作用下矿塌型地震并伴有几次浅层微滑坡.  相似文献   

长江与黄河河口沉积物环境磁学特征及其对比研究   总被引：7，自引：0，他引：7       下载免费PDF全文

牛军利  杨作升  李云海  乔淑卿 《海洋科学》2008,32(4):24-30

对采自长江现行主河道和黄河入海口处的表层沉积样品进行了环境磁学参数的测量和对比研究.结果表明:长江和黄河河口沉积物的磁性载体主要是亚铁磁性物质,亚铁磁性矿物晶粒以假单畴-多畴为主,同时亦有超顺磁晶粒的存在;长江河口沉积物的磁性明显强于黄河河口沉积物,特别是质量磁化率、非磁滞剩磁及饱和等温剩磁,两者相对偏差在40%以上;在粗粒级沉积物(>0.063 mm)中,长江河口沉积物的磁化率与全样磁化率平均值差别较小,在4%左右;黄河河口沉积物差别很大,可达34%.两者的差别反映了长江和黄河沉积物中磁性矿物赋存方式的差异;长江和黄河河口沉积物磁性特征的差异与两者粒度特征对比明显.长江和黄河河口沉积物的这些磁学方面的差别是源岩特征和气候环境差异上的反映,可以作为判别两者物源的有效示踪剂.  相似文献

珠江三角洲径潮动力数值模拟与特征分析     

杨明远  任杰 《海洋工程》2008,26(4)

在显著人类活动或涉海工程已基本完成后的相对稳定地貌边界条件下,利用1D数值模拟方法,讨论了各种典型水文条件下珠江三角洲网河水文要素的空间分布,主要汊口的分流比及能量分布等径潮动力特征.结果表明:1)网河中高水位河道主要集中在西、北江网河干流的中上段,从网河顶端至口门,高低水位间的差值逐渐加大;2)网河区的涨潮流因来流情况不同差异较大,大水大潮期潮流界下移至口门段,枯水期潮流界上移,三角洲网河全域感潮;3)各主要汊口的分流比在各水期中均有相对稳定的分配关系,一般变化值小于5%;4)在网河区上段泄洪区,具有较大的能流率,枯水期,能流率普遍较小,但在网河区下段受潮汐影响显著的河道,则具有相对较高的潮能通量.Fr计算结果表明河道断面比能中重力作用相对惯性力要大得多.  相似文献

城市特性与政府网站营销内容的关联性——基于中国28个世界城市的分析     

刘怀宽  薛德升  刘晔 《地理科学进展》2019,38(2):259-270

随着全球化的发展和网络社会的崛起,越来越多的城市政府通过政府网站吸引人才、资本、技术等资源的流入,实现经济的快速增长,城市政府网站如何选择营销内容成为城市营销学者关注的热点。研究发现,不同城市的网站营销内容存在显著差异。进一步对造成城市网站营销内容差异背后的机制进行研究,发现城市特性可能与政府网站营销内容的选择存在关联性。城市特性包括经济、政治、社会、文化等多个维度,然而已有研究大多忽视了不同类型的城市特性与城市政府网站营销内容关联性的强弱差异。因此,论文以中国大陆28个世界城市作为研究对象,采用聚类分析、因子分析、多重比较检验等方法,识别中国世界城市政府网站营销内容的主要类型,探究与政府网站营销内容关联性显著的城市特性。研究发现：①就营销内容而言,中国世界城市政府网站可分为政治文化型、政务信息型、生活服务型、景观形象型4种类型;②中国世界城市的网站营销内容与城市自身的经济全球化水平、第三产业化水平、失业人口与政治地位、经济增长速度的关联性较强;③生活质量和旅游业、经济总量和财政预算、客运量和人均年收入、人口增长和土地面积等特性与网站营销内容的关联性不显著,说明并非所有城市特性均与城市政府网站的营销内容存在显著联系,不同类型的城市特性与营销内容的关联性存在差异。  相似文献   

基于海面高度数据的全球海洋多核涡旋探测和统计     

崔伟  王伟  张杰  杨俊钢 《海洋学报(英文版)》2020,39(1):41-51

This study produced a statistical analysis of multicore eddy structures based on 23 years' altimetry data in global oceans. Multicore structures were identified using a threshold-free closed-contour algorithm of sea surface height, which was improved for this study in respect of certain technical details. Meanwhile a more accurate definition of eddy boundary was used to estimate eddy scale. Generally, multicore structures, which have two or more closed eddies of the same polarity within their boundaries, represent an important transitional stage in their lives during which the component eddies might experience splitting or merging. In comparison with global eddies, the lifetimes and propagation distances of multicore eddies were found to be much smaller because of their inherent structural instability. However, at the same latitude, the spatial scale of multicore eddies was found larger than that of single-core eddies, i.e., the eddy area could be at least twice as large. Multicore eddies were found to exhibit some features similar to global eddies. For example, multicore eddies tend to occur in the Antarctic Circumpolar Current, some western boundary currents, and mid-latitude regions around 25°N/S, the majority(70%) of eddies propagate westward while only 30% propagate eastward, and large-amplitude eddies are restricted mainly to reasonably confined regions of highly unstable currents.  相似文献
