Social Impacts of Climate Change and Climate Variability

Explore the social impacts of climate change and climate variability in this comprehensive AGU Fall Meeting 2011 conference session. Delve into topics such as the social cost of carbon, tropical cyclones, global information assimilation, and disaster-related destruction and deaths. Examine grid-level work, California electricity consumption, and various climate scenarios. Investigate the effects of local cooling, regional meteorological variability, and ENSO on maize yields in Zimbabwe and migratory birds. Analyze the relationship between seasonal influenza and climate changes, and explore consumption scales, population models, and pest models. Gain valuable insights into the complex interplay between climate change and society through poster presentations and in-depth discussions.
