    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Climate_change

    Renewable energy projects, such as these wind turbines near Aalborg, Denmark, constitute one common type of carbon offset project.. Carbon offsetting is a carbon trading mechanism that enables entities to compensate for offset greenhouse gas emissions by investing in projects that reduce, avoid, or remove emissions elsewhere.

  3. Climatic adaptation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climatic_adaptation

    Climatic adaptations limits to adaptations that have been established, characterizing species that live within the specific climate. It is different from climate change adaptations which refers to the ability to adapt to gradual changes of a climate. Once a climate has changed, the climate change adaptation that led to the survival of the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spider_behavior

    Spider behavior refers to the range of behaviors and activities performed by spiders. Spiders are air-breathing arthropods that have eight legs and chelicerae with fangs that inject venom . They are the largest order of arachnids and rank seventh in total species diversity among all other groups of organisms [ 1 ] which is reflected in their ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_change_adaptation

    Even if greenhouse gas emissions are stopped relatively soon, global warming and its effects will last many years. This is due to the inertia of the climate system. So both carbon neutrality ("net zero") and adaptation are necessary. [21] The Global Goal on Adaptation was also established under the Paris Agreement.

  8. Arachnid locomotion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arachnid_locomotion

    In larger variants of arachnids, such as the tarantulas and hairy desert spiders, another mechanism used for locomotion is an elastic sclerite. [6] These sclerites are semi-rigid connectors between leg segments that allow storage and expending of potential energy.
