IntroductionClimate change and its mitigation have now, more than ever, been the concern of many countries, organizations and businesses such as the United Nations (UN), the World Economic Forum (WEF), International Energy Agency (IEA) and the European Union (EU) (Australian Academy of Science, 2015; WEF, 2020). Climate change touches everything and everybody so it must be tackled urgently and clear-headedly (Young, 2010). The world average temperature, since mid-19 th century to the end of 20 th century, moved from dark blue cooler than average years to red warmer than average years (figure 1) and still increasing in the 21 st century (figure 2).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
