Global Climate Change01:50

Global Climate Change

24.8K
Throughout its ~4.5 billion year history, the Earth has experienced periods of warming and cooling. However, the current drastic increase in global temperatures is well outside of the Earth’s cyclic norms, and evidence for human-caused global climate change is compelling. Paleoclimatology, the study of ancient climate conditions, provides ample evidence for human-caused global climate change by comparing recent conditions with those in the past.

What is Climate?01:16

What is Climate?

18.8K
Climate refers to the prevailing weather conditions in a specific area over an extended period. As the saying goes, “Climate is what you expect. Weather is what you get.” Climate is influenced by geographic factors, such as latitude, terrain, and proximity to bodies of water.

The Carbon Cycle01:14

The Carbon Cycle

39.8K
Carbon is the basis of all organic matter on Earth, and is recycled through the ecosystem in two primary processes: one in which carbon is exchanged among living organisms, and one in which carbon is cycled over long periods of time through fossilized organic remains, weathering of rocks, and volcanic activity. Human activities, including increased agricultural practices and the burning of fossil fuels, has greatly affected the balance of the natural carbon cycle.

Thermal Stress01:09

Thermal Stress

2.6K
If the temperature of an object is changed while it is prevented from expanding or contracting, the object is subjected to stress. The stress is compressive if the object expands in the absence of constraint and tensile if it contracts. This stress resulting from temperature change is known as thermal stress. It can be quite large and can cause damage. To avoid this stress, engineers may design components so they can expand and contract freely. For instance, on highways, gaps are deliberately...

Cold Weather Concreting01:27

Cold Weather Concreting

112
When freshly poured concrete is exposed to freezing temperatures before it has set, the water within the concrete can freeze. This expansion disrupts the setting process, delays chemical reactions necessary for hardening, and increases the volume of pores within the hardened concrete, which weakens its overall structure. If the concrete manages to reach an appreciable strength before it freezes, the damage can be somewhat mitigated.
To counteract the negative impacts of cold weather, ensuring...

Sustainable Development01:43

Sustainable Development

13.6K
As the human population continues to grow and use resources, we must be mindful of our planet’s natural limits. Sustainable development provides a pathway to maintain and improve human life now while also ensuring that future generations will have the resources that they need. The long-term success of sustainability efforts rests on understanding the interplay between human actions and ecological systems.

Area of Science:

  • Labor Studies
  • Environmental Policy
  • Sociology of Work

Background:

  • Existing research on unions and climate action primarily analyzes stated positions, neglecting internal dynamics.
  • Understanding the internal processes and actor-level tensions is crucial for enhancing union effectiveness in climate advocacy.
  • The Québec labor movement provides a specific context to examine these internal contradictions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the internal tensions and contradictions affecting climate action within the Québec labor movement.
  • To identify specific areas of conflict that impede unions from becoming more effective climate actors.
  • To contribute a deeper understanding of the internal dynamics shaping labor's response to climate change.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative analysis of internal union processes and actor-level disagreements.
  • Exploration of three key areas of tension: strategic importance of climate action, organizing tactics, and sector-specific positions.
  • Focus on contradictions between private and public sector labor actors regarding sustainable futures.

Main Results:

  • Identified significant tensions within unions regarding the prioritization of climate action in overall strategy.
  • Documented sharp disagreements on strategic and tactical approaches, including rank-and-file organizing, industrial legality, and political demands.
  • Revealed an emerging contradiction between private and public sector labor unions' stances on climate action and sustainable development.

Conclusions:

  • Internal divisions and contradictions within the Québec labor movement pose significant challenges to effective climate action.
  • Addressing these tensions is essential for unions to develop cohesive and impactful climate strategies.
  • Further research is needed to explore potential pathways for overcoming these internal obstacles and fostering stronger labor-climate alliances.
