Using
my religion p899
doi:10.1038/nclimate2821
The Pope's
climate change encyclical is more than a call
for action. It is an example of how disparate
communities, from religion, the physical and
social sciences, can coalesce around a common
goal.

The
Pope's fateful vision of hope for society
and the planet pp900 - 901
Robert J.
Brulle and Robert J. Antonio
doi:10.1038/nclimate2796
The Pope's
encyclical challenges incremental approaches
that have dominated climate change discourse,
and brings a much needed moral vision to the
environmental movement. Social scientists are
required to join this effort.

Sociological
limitations of the climate change
encyclical pp902 - 903
Erik Olin
Wright
doi:10.1038/nclimate2797
The Pope has
articulated a need to change the way society
thinks about economic growth, but it is
implausible to rely primarily on moral
conversion to solve our environmental and
social ills.

|
|
Biophysical
limits, women's rights and the climate
encyclical pp904 - 905
Paul R. Ehrlich
and John Harte
doi:10.1038/nclimate2795
The Pope has
made a strong call for action on climate
change, but it fails to address the complex
linkages between sustainable development and
demographic growth.

The
Pope's encyclical as a call for democratic
social change pp905 - 907
Anabela
Carvalho
doi:10.1038/nclimate2799
The climate
change encyclical represents a decisive
democratic act. It calls on citizens to
challenge dominant politics, power, and
consumer culture in the name of tackling one
of the world's great socio-environmental
issues.

Science
and religion in dialogue over the global
commons pp907 - 909
Ottmar
Edenhofer, Christian Flachsland and Brigitte
Knopf
doi:10.1038/nclimate2798
The Pope's
encyclical makes unprecedented progress in
developing scientific dialogue with religion
by drawing on research, and encouraging
further discussion about the ethical challenge
of governing the global commons.

New
leadership for a user-friendly IPCC pp909 - 911
Arthur
Petersen, Jason Blackstock and Neil Morisetti
doi:10.1038/nclimate2766
The IPCC's new
leadership needs to promote reforms to make
the panel more relevant to the actors that use
the organization's information.

Embracing
uncertainty in climate change policy pp917 - 920
Friederike E.
L. Otto, David J. Frame, Alexander Otto and
Myles R. Allen
doi:10.1038/nclimate2716
This Perspective
explores whether policymakers can learn from
adaptive management techniques to make climate
policies 'anti-fragile', embracing and
benefitting from scientific uncertainty,
rather than simply being robust to it.

Towards
predictive understanding of regional
climate change pp921 - 930
Shang-Ping Xie,

Collins, Thomas L. Delworth, Alex Hall, Ed
Hawkins, Nathaniel C. Johnson, Christophe
Cassou, Alessandra Giannini and Masahiro
Watanabe

This Review
considers recent advances in our understanding
of regional climate change, critically
discusses outstanding issues, and recommends
targets for future research.

The
importance of including variability in
climate change projections used for
adaptation pp931 - 936
David M. H.
Sexton and Glen R. Harris
doi:10.1038/nclimate2705
Climate
projections are about what typical climate
will be, not what each individual season will
be. This study considers natural variability
combined with projections to allow comparison
with seasonal weather and inform adaptation.

Selection
of climate policies under the
uncertainties in the Fifth Assessment
Report of the IPCC pp937 - 940
L. Drouet, V.
Bosetti and M. Tavoni
doi:10.1038/nclimate2721
A risk
assessment framework shows that policymakers’
preferences affect carbon budget choices more
than future uncertainties. Such preferences
are as important as the much-discussed
discount rate.

Interacting
effects of climate change and habitat
fragmentation on drought-sensitive
butterflies pp941 - 945
Tom H. Oliver,
Harry H. Marshall, Mike D. Morecroft, Tom
Brereton, Christel Prudhomme and Chris
Huntingford
doi:10.1038/nclimate2746
Climatic
extremes can dramatically impact biodiversity.
Now, research using comprehensive data on
British butterflies reveals how drought and
changes in habitat (area and fragmentation)
interact to affect population stability.

Rethinking
forest carbon assessments to account for
policy institutions pp946 - 949
Andrew
Macintosh, Heather Keith and David Lindenmayer
doi:10.1038/nclimate2695
The relative
climate benefits of sustainable forest use
versus conservation are much debated.
Consequential life-cycle assessment is
typically employed to answer this question but
results are sensitive to contextual factors
including policy institutions.

Responses
of pink salmon to CO2-induced
aquatic acidification pp950 - 955
Michelle Ou,
Trevor J. Hamilton, Junho Eom, Emily M. Lyall,
Joshua Gallup, Amy Jiang, Jason Lee, David A.
Close, Sang-Seon Yun and Colin J. Brauner
doi:10.1038/nclimate2694
Pink salmon
start life in fresh water before moving to the
sea. This study shows that CO2-induced
acidification due to climate change
detrimentally affects salmon physiology and
behaviour in fresh water and shortly following
seawater entry.
