The Evolutionary Basis of Rigidity: Locks in Cells, Minds, and Society (2007, background): “…states, and the resulting possibility of sudden flips from one mode to another, has become the focus of major interest in the study of ecosystem dynamics (Holling 1973, May 1977, Scheffer et al. 2001) and is also the essence of the issue of abrupt climate change (Alley et al. 2003, Taylor 1999).”
Climate change events and stock market returns (2021, neutral): “The economic consequences and societal impact of climate change have also received much attention (Nordhaus and Yang 1996; Alley 2003; Easterling et al. 2000; Hayhoe et al. 2004; Matthews, Wilby, and Murphy 2017; He and Liu 2018).”
An adaptability limit to climate change due to heat stress (2010, background): “Thresholds have been proposed for ice sheet and rainforest collapse, for example, but predicting the timing or societal impacts of such events is challenging (10).”
Global patterns in the divergence between phylogenetic diversity and species richness in terrestrial birds (2017, neutral): “We used the potential for maximum values to explain PD because extreme events may drive extinctions (Crowley & North, 1988; Parmesan, 2006).”
Producing the Climate: States, Scientists, and the Constitution of Global Governance Objects (2016, background): “Alley et al. 2003; Lenton et al. 2008.”
The economics (or lack thereof) of aerosol geoengineering (2009, background): “We hypothesize that the benefit cost ratio of aerosol geoengineering strategy is sensitive to the location of this subspace and increase, for example, with increasing values of climate sensitivity and the sensitivity of economic damages to climatic changes (cf. Alley et al. 2003; Keller et al. 200”
Watch Your Step: Optimal Policy in a Tipping Climate (2014, methodology): “Drawing from a large set of uncertain parameters and using more detail in the damage formulation, the FUND model's Monte Carlo simulation increases the business-as-usual social cost of carbon by $3.5–16/tCO 2 (Anthoff, Tol and Yohe, 2009).”
Rethinking species' ability to cope with rapid climate change (2011, background): “The existence of abrupt historic climate change has been acknowledged previously (Alley et al., 2003).”
