Climate Change - Science topic

The Capparis scabrida species, Family of the (Capparaceae), is known as dog sapote, it is one of the species with the greatest adaptability to desert ecosystems, it belongs to the flora of the dry forests of Northern Peru, and Central and South from Ecuador, between 0-2,500 m of altitude. It is a species that never loses its leaves, always turn green during its life cycle and it does not have seasonal precipitation, it has to wait for the rain every year. My question is why it forms many rings of growth if it does not present seasonal precipitation and never loses its leaves. That is an image of a cross section so you can see the great presence of growth rings, It was collected in the South Region of Ecuador (Loja-Catamayo,Ecuador 2020).

I artifically elevated the air temperature in the heated plot by 3-celsius degree compared to that in the control for 7 days.

I want to figure out the effect of the temperature manipulation on soil temperature.

The datalogger collected the soil temperature every 30 minutes.

In that situation, can I calculate daily mean soil temperature using 30 minute-unit data to go ANOVA?

Additionally, can I treated the respective days as repeated factors for repeated measures ANOVA?

The climate change has different aspect, some country became hotter in summer, while other country, be cool, some increased in precipitations , others become more drought (arid) .

I am doing lesson plans and am looking for examples of environmental claims that do not stand up to close scrutiny.

There are more than enough examples of this related to climate change...so no climate change discussion needed, thank you though.

The idea is that I will give my class a faulty environmental claim and they have to find the weakness in the claim as a homework assignment.

For example, here is claim that does not stand up:

"The lead dust found in the soil of Gotham City can get into the groundwater and pose a human health risk through drinking water."

What is wrong with this claim? The lead dust is most certainly harmful and may have leached into the ground-water, but five minutes on the city water department web page will show that the drinking water comes from a reservoir miles away. So the route of exposure is the reason this claim is faulty, and if we want to protect people, we need to worry about airborne dust and skin contact with soil.

In another case, I encountered a claim from a chapter of the REDACTED ENVIRONMENTAL ORGANIZATION that Carbon Dioxide is linked to asthma.

Carbon dioxide is of course linked to climate change and in confined spaces can be deadly. But the claim is faulty because asthma is linked to nitrous oxides, ozone, and particulates.

Do you have any other examples?

Please let me know

I am having this idea of reclaiming part of the Sahara by planting trees to see whether it will assist in combating Climate Change.

I am thinking of working on a research topic relating to ESG Investment and Climate change reality. I am no expert in research for now and Its been quite confusing how to capture Climate change and ESG with this regards to show the relationship between E Investments and Reduction in climate change. So far, with my little research done, to capture climate change, one could use "rising sea levels" or "average temperature overtime" but is that really sufficient? Plus what would you suggest I use to capture ESG Investing (Be it Global or Regional).

Looking forward to reading responses :).

In very recent years there has been a heightened public concern and awareness about climate change and sustainability. When we talk about sustainability, is it clear that we are all talking about the sustainability of populations of other species and their habitats, and the activities of humans to have an impact on those species and habitats?

Hello,

I will like to know the best spatial modelling technique to investigate the effects of climate change on biodiversity.

Climate change has an impact on humans

Any paper about the relation between butterfly lifecycle and temperature will be very helpful, please let me know

Hi everyone,

I am looking to collaborate with any researcher(s) that is/are interested in applying the principles of cellular automaton to climate change research. Kindly reach out to me by commenting, sending a private message or an email to hemenseter@knu.ac.kr

Please share this with your colleagues so it can be widely read. Thanks

Global warming is being addressed through a sustainable development lense formally since 2012 Rio +20; and therefore, it is being addressed outside sustainabiltiy rules.

And this raises the question, is not global warming a sustainability isssue? I think it is a sustainabiltiy issue. What do you think?

During climate change women and men perform different roles to combat the climatic events

Dear all,  

I am currently a guest editor for the special issue "Mediterranean Olive Trees and Olive Oil under Climate Change", which will be published by the journal Agronomy (ISSN 2073-4395, 2019 JCR impact factor = 2.259, Quartile 1).

The deadline is June 2021. Please feel free to contact me if you are interested and also feel free to disseminate this message in your groups.

Yours sincerely,

A study by researchers at Imperial College London, published in the magazine “One Earth”, highlights the need to deepen knowledge about how global warming affects polar ice sheets, in order to be able to estimate sea level rise in this century and believe that current knowledge about the behavior of ice sheets suggests that sea level rise may be greater than the "probable range" predicted by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in 2100.

The greenhouse effect is gradually progressing on Earth. Consequently, the risk of new climate disasters increases every year.

Currently, technologies are being developed with the help of which space ships will be built to enable a manned space mission to Mars.

In the 21st century, will man be able to overcome greater distances and get to know some other planets of our solar system?

Is it possible to develop on Earth a technology that a man can leave the solar system and, for example, one day he can reach the nearest Alpha Centauri constellation?

In connection with the above, the question arises: Will man manage to create technologies thanks to which he will leave the planet Earth, the Solar System and reach other planetary systems?

Please reply

I invite you to the discussion

Thank you very much

How ethnobotany is linked to climate change?

Agricultural crops suffer from climate change? Discussed that?

Everyone knows, the fast changing climatic condition with altered physical factors due to various anthropologic activities. Humans are unable to handle the issue of climate change due to growing needs and population. So, how nature will resolve the issue of climate change without human interference?

How both climate change and systemic racism have their roots in colonization and the accompanying exploitation and extraction of both people and the environment.

There are some scenarios can be used in Asian orglobally

Climate change disaster is a great amplifier of health inequities. It is already affecting and will continue to affect vulnerable populations’ health and well-being like migrants, both in Canada and internationally. We are conducting a critical scoping review to explore work that has been done to examine and address the needs, challenges, experiences, and health outcomes of immigrant populations. Your critical reflections and suggestion will be helpful.

These days, people are discussing about pro-environmental and protective notions in their life all over the world. It seems this level of consideration should be navigated to a sustainable path. What do you think about it?

I know there are some global database that include rainfall. But I would like something more specific for Africa at a spatial resolution around 0.25 degrees, and daily frequency for the last decade. Something equivalent to the European ECA&D would be great. Does it exist for Africa? Thanks.

positives of climate change, future options of food security, future options of land expansion for new farmland.

In many countries, air and rail transportation is interrupted. The isolation measures lead to the decrease of road traffic utilization and the production of factories. The result is reduced carbon emissions and clean air above China, South Korea, European countries and the United States. China's anti epidemic measures have reduced carbon emissions by 25% in just one month. At the end of March, the European Space Agency (ESA) released satellite images showing changes in the ozone layer over many countries between January 1 and March 11. The changes above Italy are particularly dramatic, with the country's ecological indicators improving, as seen by the naked eye: swans and fish begin to return to the Venetian canal, and then dolphins and jellyfish are observed.

We all know that the aviation industry produces a good amount of CO2. Nevertheless, as climate change scientists we frequently fly to attend a growing number of meetings and conferences organised to discuss some of the impacts of climate change.

Shouldn't we start thinking about the necessity of some face-to-face meetings that could alternatively occur by video conferencing?

I am working in research on climate adaptation so need to compare the performance of the urban fabric to the climate changes, which requires me to make a comparison and simulation of the performance of the urban fabric in different time periods such as the past, the present and the future, so I need to find predicted climate data for the future climate for an area, how do I get it and how can I change it to eps climate file to input and use for the DesignBuilder software!

The cyclones hit two of the most populated metropolitan cities in the world – Kolkata and Mumbai. The propensity towards similar climatic events has increased around the Indian Ocean. Unseasonal storms in East Africa and the Arabian Peninsula, which triggered the locust outbreaks in South Asia and the wildfires in Australia, are part of these unusual events. At the same time, a series of heatwaves led to the bleaching of coral reefs along the Indian coast, which has evolved as a hotspot for climate extremes, rampaging the marine ecosystem.

During 2018, Puerto Rico has exposed to many devastating hurricanes along with many other parts of USA. In Puerto Rico, hurricanes have created disaster in the society. There is no doubt that Puerto Rico has experienced major hurricanes during 2018. However, the country was not in the list of Top Ten “Long Term Climate Risk Index (CRI) in the past. Surprisingly, Global Climate Risk Index 2019 by GERMANWATCH has placed the country in the top of the list.

Can we define climate risk like that?

Even here in Canada they are saying that climate action is a science based action as a promoting slogan for change, but if science based climate action is implemented through non-science based markets is not that a problem?.  UNCSD 2012 / Rio +20 in the Future We Want formalized a paradigm shift from the traditional market to green markets/green growth/green economy but instead of moving towards creating green markets by internalizing the environmental externality in the price mechanism of the traditional market to shift to green markets they are fast moving into creating carbon pricing based markets to continue treating environmental issues as they were in the traditional market still as externalities….

Carbon pricing based markets are dwarf green markets as they do not reflect perfect green market theory and they are unconnected to the green market price….Does not a science based climate action requires a science based market?. If yes, carbon pricing is not the way to go as they are not green markets and we are supposed to have shifted towards green markets in 2012, why are we going that way? Does the shift to green markets in 2012 made the scientific method and perfect green market theory irrelevant?

Dear Scientific community, researchers, scientists, inventor and innovator, Everybody is feeling safe and healthy around, I know this Covid19 pandemic is hitting hard everybody every corner, sometimes even feeling twisted around the interest of other important pressing issues of the world like environmental, sustainability, Plastics, waste management and so on.

In this midst of pandemic chaos, i had to have the courage over thinking other pressing problems also. So, I've been lately thinking about the plastics, packaging, energy production, burning fuel, pollution, climate change s and waste management issues. I couldn't find any reliable existing solutions for these.So, now I'm gathering ideas and wanted to learn more and present a solution to the world or at least being a part of it.

Currently I want to study more about gas absorption, how burning or melting anything could harm to environment and living beings, recycling, new technology for recycle and its reliability..

So, i thought I need to learn, train and looking further to do appropriate study or research (PhD/MS integratedPhd) with a mentor or a team with a curiosity and passion to bring a solution.

Also, for applying or proposing myself since my background being Biotechnology and a little bit of chemistry i've learnt during the coursework back then..I don't know where I could fit but I'm curious to learn...I will be grateful if anybody from this community could suggest me or recommend me where I should go, approach or look out.

Who has the right to define what is climate change research should be? Who should define the climate change research topic, research questions, and research design? Who should own the climate change research result? How can the community lead to climate change research? How should we re-learn to consider community people as researchers?

How does the anti-racist form of climate change research look like?

I too work on the ethics of climate change. Please send me your e-mail, so that I can send you flyers about relevant books. My e-mail is attfieldr@cardiff.ac.uk . I will attach a flyer for my textbook on environmental ethics. Best wishes, Robin Attfield

I'm attempting to build a hypothesis about the Gupta Empire of classical India, and am interested in understanding monsoon and temperature levels. Tree rings, Himalayan ice cores, any leads would be great!

Donald Trump and his challenger Joe Biden have presented vastly different visions for handling crucial issues, from the coronavirus pandemic to climate change. This results in how the election could shape many "Science" or "the scientific implications of Climate Change" issues.

In my country, more than a dozen years ago or more, there were real winters with snow and frost after the autumn. Whereas last winter, during the last few years it looked like autumn, without snow and positive temperatures. I think that the greenhouse effect, ie the warming of the Earth's climate, has already begun. This is also confirmed by numerous climatic cataclysms and weather anomalies, which in the current year 2018 appear in numerous places on the Earth. In some parts of the Earth there are fires of huge forest areas such as in Scandinavia, California in the USA, Australia, the Iberian Peninsula, Africa, etc. In addition, weather anomalies, e.g. snow and floods in October and November in the south of Europe.

In addition, tornadoes in many places on Earth and so on.

Perhaps these problems will get worse. It is necessary to improve security systems and anti-crisis services, improve the prediction of these anomalies and climatic cataclysms so that people can, have managed to shelter or cope with the imminent cataclysm. One of the technologies that can help in more precise forecasting of these cataclysms is the processing of large collections of historical and current information on this subject in the cloud computing technology in Big Data database systems.

Therefore, I am asking you: Will new data processing technologies in Big Data database systems allow for accurate prediction of climate disasters?

Please, answer, comments. I invite you to the discussion.

Emissions by conventional fuel vehicles is one of major contributor of Climate Change. For reducing road vehicles emissions to zero, A design which is marked as INVENTION by IEEE, SAE & WIPO was tested in lab with satisfactory results but it couldn't brought in use as being global in nature, support of Governments, organisations, manufacturers, operators or investors in Climate Change. It will give proper result if IMPLIMENTED in most of the countries in world.

Can any organisation/ institute/ agency/ investor help to promote the invention of EVs powered by overhead supply worldwide?

Plant range shifts have been widely attributed to changing climate specifically temperature. However, not all the species experience range shifts. I am looking for some factors which might be useful for explaining these variations in plants.

In conducting a Climate Change Vulnerability Assessment at the household level using a survey questionnaire, there is a need to ask participants how they characterize their experience of various hazards in terms of exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity. Is there a set of categories for each of the factors of vulnerability?

The Southeastern region of the United States of America, including Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, and the Caribbean archipelagos are being devastated by a higher number of hurricanes than ever before--Why? Are these stronger and more frequent wind and rain storms evidence of (1) global warming; or (2) climate change?

I am currently working on my M.Sc. thesis studying how climate change affects the presence of the gray whale in one of its main breeding areas in Mexico. We have considered temperature, chlorophyll and extent of ice in their feeding areas (Bering Sea, Chukchi and Beaufort) and temperature in migration route and breeding areas. In addition, PDO and ENSO indices.

Should we consider other environmental variables and / or indices, which ones?

I thank in advance for your help and support.

Are there any publications or own observations on how the spatial distribution of widespread moss species such as Pleurozium schreberi, Pseudoscleropodium purum or Hypnum cupressiforme changes under climate change?

I am using SDSM for statistical downscaling and keen to know that which I should prefer to use GCMs or RCMs output. Keep in mind that my study area is high elevated about 3700 m a.m.sl to 4800 m a.m.sl and 137, 000 Sq.km.

I have longterm daily temperatures and precipitaions data not uniformly located observation stations.

Please share your expertise, for each temperatures and precipitaion separately.

Small farm and different parameters to be recorded and problems

Over the past decades, ecosystem and climate change modeling have made great advances. However, as indicated by the uncomfortably large deviations between predicted climate change and today's observed effects, there is obviously a lot of room for improvement. Today it is accepted that global warming, and a series of derived effects, are ocurring at much faster rates than predicted even with the most sophisticated models just 10 years ago. Similar discrepancies exist for ecosystem models which try to predict production or the development of pest and disease populations. In the end, the complexities of non-linear behavior and multiple synergistic effects may render such complex systems impossible to model within the limits of acceptable accuracy. If models only hold under extensive lists of unrealistic assumptions (such as linear and additive effects vs non-linear synergistic effects), then their value for deriving practical recommendations must be questioned. So: what are the limits to (meaningful) modeling? I would warmly welcome pointers towards a readable account of this issue.

The duration and intensity of drought is increasing worldwide largely due to climate change.

Is power-to-gas a possible solution to this issue? Storing renewable energy in the form of H2 and CH4 and using them as fuels can increase the penetration of renewable energy in the transportation sector?

The content obtained for the C & N in the soil samples of the forest floors is increased this time and in 2020 is 5 times more than that of the C & N obtained in 2008, simultaneously the same forest stands in four districts is increased by areas observed in the India State of Forest Report 2019, not only that the forest canopy is much lush green in comparison to 2008, is this change be considered as the evidence of the climate change, though the time span of only 12 years is very short for interpretation of the evidence of the climate change.

What are the most serious problems of civilization development that should be solved as soon as possible? What are the global problems for which research should be developed and solutions to these problems resolved in 2019 and in subsequent years?

One of such research problems, which should not be postponed for an indefinite future, is the need to develop environment-friendly sustainable economic development in order to slow down the adverse process of global warming.

With the warming of the Earth's climate, the risk of more dramatic climate cataclysms, including tsunamis, increases.

Tsunami may be a derivative of the global warming problem. Global warming generates an increase in climate disasters, including more cases of tsunamis.

But not only is the risk of more violent and more dramatic tsunamis rising. Also in recent years, there has been more other types of climate and natural climate catatics, such as droughts, rainstorms, tornadoes and weather anomalies.

At present, it should no longer be asked whether global warming generates an increase in natural disasters only what rate of growth will be recorded in the future? So many data, research centers confirms the progressing process of global warming, that the problem is unquestionable.

More and more data points to the growing risk of climate change, unfavorable for human and life on the Earth, increase of climate disasters, climatic and weather anomalies, which are the result of global warming, rising average annual temperature near the Earth's surface.

Now we should just ask: How can these adverse processes be counteracted? What ecological technologies, renewable energy sources, how to help natural environments, how to rebuild them, such as afforestation, to build natural ecosystems absorbing greenhouse gases?

How to develop ecological business ventures? How to create financing systems for this type of pro-ecological projects? How to dispel international cooperation in this matter? What actions should be taken to move towards the development of a new ecological green economy?

How to develop environmentally sustainable economic development to slow down the unfavorable warming of the Earth's climate?

Please reply. I invite you to the discussion

Is there any particular rule that told us in what condition we allowed to rebuilding missing data in a synoptic station? For example, if a station has 15% missing data over 30 years, can it be filling? In other words, is there a specific rule that says up to what percent of missed data we can reconstruct it and used in drought studies? Can this data be filled in by taking a regression from the station itself, or should it be filled in by nearby stations? The time steps are in monthly. Do you have any referenced article for that?

Thank you in advanced Best Regards

Most of the countries of Africa are affected by water war due to climate change, so let think together how to bring solution for this conflict of interest.

Cactus (Opuntia ficus-indica L) is one of the valued plants in arid environments as source of food and animal feed. It is also important in the rehabilitation of degraded lands and enrichment of soil chemical and physical properties. But studies that show its applications in food, pharmaceutical, and beauty and cosmetic industries are limited. How can we exploit this plant in the face of food and nutrition security as well as climate change challenges?

Dear Species Distribution Modelers and All,

Have you ever tried to select the specific month/quarter (e.g. wettest quarter for bio8) in a way other than the default one? If yes, how? If not, why not? E.g. in this paper a novel method (called 'static' approach) is suggested for calculating bioclimatic variables for future time periods: the month/quarter is selected once in the reference ('current') period and used later as it is fixed for all the studied periods.

Have you ever considered this method, or do you think it may have relevancy for your further research?

Thanks,

Ákos

Think about it just for a positive exchange of ideas, shifting to a world under green markets leaves the traditional market knowledge base behind creating green market paradigm shift knowledge gaps in need of fixing or of new ideas, and this includes the concept of economic efficiency a la pareto. And this leads to the question, why is Pareto efficient in traditional markets neither green Pareto inefficient in green markets? Any ideas/thoughts?

Traditional varieties are doing extinct day by day in the race of high yielding varieties. Many indigenous varieties were cultivated past 20 – 50 years. How will allow again the traditional varieties in the situation of climate change? Human diet diversity was played pivotal role during forefather’s life or before 50 years past. Would it be right to say that the native varieties helped to increase immunity? In todays’ situation every person is ready to do something to increase immunity. If today we had food made with native varieties in our plate, then we would not have to run for immunity?

As we know that the global temperatures are increasing due to climate change which could affect the thermal needs of the crops. I want to make geospatial maps and analysis for heat requirements of important crops. Is there any latest research on this issues.

I am doing research project in Climate change effect in Rain water harvesting for South Australia

Global warming affects many processes in biological ecosystems. Different species of flora and fauna change their habitats and geographical areas according to climate change and specific geographical environments. Areas of occurrence of specific species, for example insects in terrestrial areas and fish and arthropods in the seas and oceans, change. Bird habitats change, so migrations of some bird species may also be subject to modification. In the situation when forest areas dry out and turn into steppes and deserts, changes in natural habitats and areas of occurrence of species change and concern simultaneously many species of flora and fauna.

Do you agree with me on the above matter?

In the context of the above issues, I am asking you the following question:

In many areas, conversion from conventional production practices to conservation practices (minimum tillage, cover crops, crop rotation/diversity, manure/livestock addition) results in an immediate benefit to both crop yield and yield stability over space and time. It is my expectation that land areas that would have an immediate benefit would have soils that are highly erodible, course textured, and/or inherently low fertility. Conversely, I expect that high fertility soils may experience a more delayed benefit from conversion to conservation practices. This concept, combined with other factors, I believe, are responsible for the low adoption rates for conservation practices throughout the midwestern United States. Although soil loss in this region is greater than the sustainable replacement rate. Some research, including my own (An Analysis of Yield Variation Under Soil Conservation Practices), has taken on this challenge by relating conservation practices to yield stability through space and time. The goal is to establish that if yields are more stable under conservation systems, crop insurance premiums should reflect that reduction in risk, similar to the way a healthy lifestyle results in a lower health or life insurance premium. This incentive by reduced crop insurance may better drive adoption of conservation practices and preserve the resource. This is meant to open a discussion on the topic for students, researchers, policy makers, etc. to explore this idea. Please share your thoughts on this topic. Cheers!

I am particularly interested in conceptual literature and pieces of research that aim at advancing the human geographic debate on (local) climate governance. Thank you very much!

What is (are) the best theoretical framework to assess the impact of climate change on food security and sustainable water demand?

Statistics and different topics courses are offered daily. Master's degrees in universities, but very few or almost none, provide scholarships to be able to study them. How can you get financing for this?

Climate change is a topic that should be given so much importance. How can I go forward with this topic for studying the impact of climate change on people's well being?

Is climate change investigation the only way to undertake new findings and innovation in this field?

For climatologists like D. Chalvin, a sudden change in physical environment represents a threat to the somatic integrity of an individual previously well adapted to his physical environment. He can then develop a stress reaction called "Bioclimatic stress". The study of bioclimatic stress is very complex and can be carried out using different methodologies (Gisèle Escourrou, 1988; D. Chalvin, 1985). I wish you can help me identify the one that would be best suited to study it in climate-displaced people.

I have some confusion about the amount of GHG emissions in 2010; that is published in IPCC 2014 [ Source: Climate Change 2014 – Synthesis Report (IPCC) (p.5) ] and the other illustrated in [IEA, Energy Technology Perspectives 2010 Scenarios & Strategies to 2050, ETP 2010, International Energy Agency, OECD/IEA, Paris, 2010. (p. 47)] .

As I observed, the former indicated 49 Gt in 2010 where the latter indicated around 27 Gt in 2010. I think that there is some misunderstanding so please advise me to find the right value for GHG emissions in 2010.

I attached the two figures and I can send the original documents to who may demand.

Energy saving is very important and desirable to minimize environmental impact and climate change. To save energy, Mother Nature always uses the spherical or cylindrical shape since the sphere with the same surface contains a greater volume than all the other geometric solids.

Weather forecast has utmost importance in Aviation, Ship routing, safety measures, planning and designing of structures, urban areas, offshore maintenance, natural resources, coastal areas, Agriculture, pollutants management and in many more weather applications in world wide.

At present all the world is experiencing weather extremes due to the impact of the climate change. Who is responsible for those consequences of extreme weather in all over the world? finally who is ready to face all these effects by Govt./People? Why all the Govts are not focusing on immediate controlling strategies? Not identifying causative factors in the world? How long will take time to clear our world environment? Why all the Govts not strictly controlling in the ground level before effluents entering into the environment? Why effluents are not treating/estimating properly? How it becomes more dangerous to human life and environment in all over the world?

It seem individual's attitude to environment are changing rather than last year due to corona virus issues and challenges. What do you think?

Global warming affects many processes in biological ecosystems.

Different species of flora and fauna change their habitats and geographical areas according to climate change and specific geographical environments.

Areas of occurrence of specific species, for example insects in terrestrial areas and fish and arthropods in the seas and oceans, change.

For example bird habitats change, so migrations of some bird species may also be subject to modification. In the situation when forest areas dry out and turn into steppes and deserts, changes in natural habitats and areas of occurrence of species change and concern simultaneously many species of flora and fauna.

Do you agree with me on the above matter?

In the context of the above issues, I am asking you the following question:

Please reply

I invite you to the discussion

Thank you very much

Best wishes

Dear Colleagues,

many challenges ahead of us. The pandemic crisis and its repercussions on employment, the coming climate and ecological apocalypse, the aging population (especially in some areas of the globe). Despite a minority that calls for a radical switch in our way of production, lifestyle and consumption, a large part of the practictioners and researchers believe that these challenges can be faced trhough technological innovation with the hope that somehow, at some point, we'll find solutions withouth compromising how we live today. In between those two fronts, many shades of grey and halfway solutions. Research in all the cases mentioned, is rich and encompasses a broad range of alternatives allowing one to position and build knowledge in the community that more represent his ideals. In all the cases though when it comes to working hours reduction, just few dozens of results pop up. It is impressive , how in the last 40 years management research hasn't focused at all on investigating the possibility of reducing the working hours maintaining a costant pay, seen the increase in annual productivity. Some of the reasons are quite obvious if we look through the lenses of ortodox approaches: increased complexity, power relations, neoliberalism-managerialism etc (I know, this is very superficial and oversimplified but it is just to make sure future respondents to this question won't focus on the things I already know). My question instead would be: why critical management scholars, eterodox economists, did not produce enough and relevant research on the topic except for a few books? To me, with just a spoiled impression on the topic, this could represent a solution to many ecological problems, unemployment, extremy poverty, depression ecc ecc. The pandemic brought back this topic to the spotlight and I would like to write something on that. Maybe trhough an experimental design (I am just at the beginning of the process, this idea is still in Plato's Iperuranio). Would you like to discuss the topic with me? Any idea, research article?
