Despite the gains of the environmental movement, considerable destruction continues to go on around us. We can find ourselves overwhelmed by this destruction, and by the amount of work that still needs to occur. It’s not hard to succumb to what some call the "doomsday syndrome," in which our goals simply appear unattainable. 2, record 1, English, - doomsday%20syndrome

"The Doomsday Syndrome" was originally the title of a book written by J. Maddox. 3, record 1, English, - doomsday%20syndrome

The human fascination with predictions of impending doom is one of the major factors in the emergence of climate change as a political issue. Some people would say that, as doomsday scenarios go, the greenhouse effect is more scientifically credible than most, and this credibility is increased through the temptation to view events such as the disastrous 1988 North American drought as the foretaste of things to come. 4, record 1, English, - doomsday%20syndrome

A four member Economic Advisory Panel was set up by Health Canada to advise on the assessment, quantification and evaluation of health ancillary benefits resulting from the Greenhouse Gas(GHG) reduction measures identified by the Issue Tables and proposed in their Options Papers within the National Climate Change Process(NCCP). The purpose of the exercise was to identify measures whose ranking would be affected by these ancillary benefits and, even if their ranking were not affected, flag these ancillary benefits as reinforcement in favor of the adoption of measures by governments and acceptance by the public. 1, record 2, English, - Climate%20Change%20and%20Health%20Economic%20Advisory%20Panel

Un Comité consultatif économique composé de quatre personnes a été établi par Santé Canada pour donner des conseils sur l'estimation, la quantification et l'évaluation des avantages accessoires pour la santé résultant des mesures de réduction des gaz à effet de serre (GES) identifiées par les tables de concertation et présentées dans leurs rapports sur les options dans le cadre du Processus national sur les changements climatiques (PNCC). Le but de cet exercice était d'identifier les mesures dont le classement serait influencé par ces avantages accessoires et, même si le classement n'était pas influencé, de considérer ces avantages accessoires comme un renforcement en faveur de l'adoption de mesures par les gouvernements et de leur acceptation par la population. 1, record 2, French, - Comit%C3%A9%20consultatif%20%C3%A9conomique%20sur%20les%20changements%20climatiques%20et%20la%20sant%C3%A9

Most of the early attention to the issue of sea level rise and greenhouse warming was related to the stability of the West Antarctic ice sheet. Parts of this ice sheet are grounded far below sea level and may be very sensitive so small changes in sea level or melting rates at the base of adjacent ice shelves. 1, record 3, English, - West%20Antarctic%20ice%20sheet
