There are eight chapters in the book, organised in four sections. Chapter 1 "Creators of Culture" provides an overview of the basic tenet of the book - that climate demands and monetary resources influence each other's impact on culture. Dr. Van de Vliert further asserts that "climate and cash" interact to form integrated climatoeconomic niches. Chapter 2 "Climate Colors Life Satisfaction" summarises empirical support for the contention that a more demanding climate, leading to fewer resources, decreases culturally embedded satisfaction. The author illustrates that problems of unhappiness and suicide exist in regions with extremely cold winters, extremely hot summers, or both. In Chapter 3 "Cash Compensates for Climate," he explains how money resources make the difference between climat...
We must have a say, based on our rights and based on the fact that we are the first to feel the impacts of climate change," stressed [Shawn Atleo]. "I support the idea that we need to use the First Nations' expertise for evaluating climate change. I think we have to learn a lot from First Nations," said Sardali, who is originally from the former Soviet Union. "They feel they are inside the nature, so whatever happens to the nature they can feel that," explained Sardali. "They consider the nature as one organism, one body.
As it happens, the tree-ring proxies match up with the thermometer measurements up until about 1960, when there is a divergence between the two sets of data. The tree rings indicate a global cooling after 1960, while the thermometer data indicates a sharp warming. The CRU scientists decided to simply stop using the inconveniently non-warming tree-ring data after 1960. In one email, this is discussed as a trick developed by Michael Mann, the creator of the infamous climate hockey stick chart, that would hide the decline shown by the tree-rings and emphasize the recent spike in thermometer data, preserving the sanctity of the hockey stick. The climate scientists at CRU and elsewhere have denied [Steve McIntyre]'s information requests for years. Phil Jones, the head of the climate-change b...
Grounded in the interactionist paradigm, this study shows that emotional exhaustion and perceived safety climate constitute important moderators of the relationship between proactive personality and work performance. More specifically, the study analyzes the relationship between proactive personality and its behavioural outcomes-organizational citizenship behaviour (OCB) and job performance-and investigates the interactive effects of emotional exhaustion and perceived safety climate. The study involves 485 Chinese airline employees including pilots, flight attendants, engineers, and service employees. Proactive personality positively predicted OCB and individual performance. Emotional exhaustion and perceived safety climate moderated the relationship between proactive personality and in...
