A critique of the use of species and below-species taxonomic terms for viruses—time for change? by Simmonds, P

“…The International Committee for the Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) regulates assignment and names of virus species and higher taxa through its taxonomy proposal and ratification process. Despite using similar taxonomic ranks to those used elsewhere in biology, the ICTV has maintained the principle that species and other taxa are strictly categories with a formal nomenclature, whereas the viruses as objects are referenced through a parallel inventory of community-assigned virus names. …”

New use of global warming potentials to compare cumulative and short-lived climate pollutants by Allen, MR, Fuglestvedt, JS, Shine, KP, Reisinger, A, Pierrehumbert, R, Forster, PM

“…Here we show that the widely used 100-year global warming potential (GWP100) effectively measures the relative impact of both cumulative pollutants and SLCPs on realized warming 20–40 years after the time of emission. …”
