DOI: 10.1007/s00484-018-1570-y
Abstract: Outdoor thermal comfort is influenced by people’s climate expectations, perceptions and adaptation capacity. Varied individual response to comfortable or stressful thermal environments results in a deviation between actual outdoor thermal activity choices and those predicted… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/00038628.2018.1482824
Abstract: ABSTRACT Outdoor thermal discomfort discourages outdoor living at the cost of increased demand for indoor air-conditioning. The resulted waste heat from air-conditioning makes a feedback loop with increased outdoor heat stress. Local and seasonal climate… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1365-2664.12919
Abstract: Summary An alarming finding for biodiversity is that global warming and pesticides often interact synergistically. Yet, this synergism may not capture the full picture because two counteracting processes may reduce the higher impact of pesticides… read more here.
