Costs of dispersal (2012, background): “Rapid environmental changes in land-use and climate (Smith et al., 2009) are likely to influence the costs of dispersal.”
Energy, Economic Growth and Environmental Sustainability: Five Propositions (2010, background): “The required speed of emission reduction could be slowed if the carbon budget was increased, but this would greatly increase the probability of serious and irreversible consequences, such as the loss of the Greenland and West Antarctic ice sheets [80].”

Are homeowners willing to adapt to and mitigate the effects of climate change? (2012, background): “(Smith et al. 2009).”
The Economics of Low Stabilization: Model Comparison of Mitigation Strategies and Costs (2010, background): “It is now realized that global warming will have severe impacts ( e.g., Stern, 2007; Parry et al., 2007; Hansen et al. , 2007; Smith et al. , 2009) and that further temperature increases may trigger tipping points in the climate system (Lenton et al. , 2008).”
Climate Change and Society: The Chimera of Behaviour Change Technologies (2012, background): “of carbon transfer to the atmosphere, combined with deforestation, is causing rising concentrations of atmospheric greenhouse gases and global warming, with potentially disastrous impacts on the ecosystems on which life depends (Davis et al., 2010; Smith et al., 2009).”
Adapting to climate change: a perspective from evolutionary physiology (2010, background): “Moreover, new evaluations suggest that dangerous environmental impacts will require smaller degrees of warming than previously thought (Smith et al. 2009).”
