Such an agreement would have significant economic and national security implications, and therefore any national policy decisions regarding this issue should rely in part on the best possible suite of scenarios from climate models. The U.S. climate modeling research community is a world leader in intermediate and smaller climate modeling efforts-research that has been instrumental in improving the understanding of specific components of the climate system. Somewhat in contrast, the United States has been less prominent in producing high-end climate modeling results, which have been featured in recent international assessments of the impacts of climate change. The fact that U.S. contributions of these state-of-the-art results have been relatively sparse has prompted a number of prominent climate researchers to question the current organization and support of climate modeling research in the United States, and has led ultimately to this report.Compass series (Washington, D.C.)U.S. climate modelingClimatic changesMathematical modelsClimatic changesResearchUnited StatesClimatic changesMathematical models.Climatic changesResearch551.6/01/13MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910965569303321Capacity of U.S. climate modeling to support climate change assessment activities4360317UNINA03688nam 22006733 450 991097825410332120251116153923.09783839473016383947301210.1515/9783839473016(CKB)37515386100041(MiAaPQ)EBC31953926(Au-PeEL)EBL31953926(DE-B1597)694522(DE-B1597)9783839473016(EXLCZ)993751538610004120250313d2025 uy 0spaur|||||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierResignificar la Vida Crítica a Las Nuevas Eugenesias en América Latina1st ed.Bielefeld :transcript Verlag,2025.©2024.1 online resource (0 pages)Afrontar las crisis desde América Latina ;229783837673012 3837673014 Frontmatter -- CALAS.

Reflexiones biopolíticas -- Bibliografía -- AUTOR -- OTROS TÍTULOS DE LA COLECCIÓNLa eugenesia esconde una zona gris que resulta conveniente para el relato de progreso, bienestar e integración que mueve al Estado nación de tradición liberal. Existe una continuidad temporal e histórica expresada en la plasticidad de una eugenesia que se despliega hasta nuestros días; diversificada en nuevos campos del saber y espacios del espectro social, propone un compromiso por el futuro de la humanidad a partir de nuevas disposiciones, imaginarios y expectativas. En Resignificar la vida. Críticas a las nuevas eugenesias en América Latina, Marcelo Sánchez Delgado reflexiona acerca de las formas adquiridas por la eugenesia en los campos científicos contemporáneos y en el discurso-práctica del poder sobre los actuales problemas sociales latinoamericanos. Su trabajo es un debate en torno de la continuidad eugenésica y la prolongación de estos discursos en el ámbito público. El autor discute la reactualización del paradigma eugénico observando su relación histórica; es decir, los contactos entre el pasado, el presente y la imaginación de un futuro desde los temas que surgen al hablar de las crisis de América Latina, como la criminalidad, las migraciones, el racismo, la salud mental, los roles de género, la falta de atención a la niñez y la desigualdad, entre otros.POLITICAL SCIENCE / History & TheorybisacshAmerica.Amerika.América Latina.Bielefeld University Press.Bioethics.Bioethik.Biopolitics.Biopolitik.Crisis.Ethics.Ethik.Eugenesia.Gewalt.Historia.Lateinamerika.Latin America.Violence.POLITICAL SCIENCE / History & Theory.Sánchez Marcelo(Sánchez D.)1887406MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910978254103321Resignificar la Vida4524077UNINA
