The impact of climate change on agriculture in Asia, vulnerabilities, and adaptations are

described in this article. According to these authors, climate change creates major food insecurity

threats, especially for the rice-wheat cropping system. The source provides an inclusive analysis

of the challenges and prospects that underpin climate change mitigation and adaptation

approaches in agricultural production, which may be useful for studies on mitigation and

adaptation strategies towards sustainability. This source is reliable because the authors were

experts from reputable scholarly institutions and published in a journal with high standards of

peer review. However, their different affiliations and their submission of the article to a

respectable science journal assure the authenticity of the information provided, making it an

important source for academicians, policymakers, and practitioners concentrating on climate

change and agriculture in Asia.

Table 33. U.S. Department of Agriculture.

In 2012 USDAs 2012 Census of Agriculture, Table 33 gives detailed national-level data. The

source is crucial for those researching changes in agricultural output, types of land use, and

farming-household features during the last five years. The census is an important planning tool in

that it has much detail on the agricultural landscape. It informs stakeholders of how farming is

going in the US and other issues that affect the change in production, as well as the changes in

population and economy. The census is useful in further USDA is one of the main American
 3

federation agencies guaranteeing that the data are reliable. The census is a legal requirement, and

as such, it has added credibility and enjoys a worldwide reputation for reliability in collecting

and analyzing data. This enhances its credibility as a reliable data source for researchers in

academia, government, or industry, providing a core resource for any study on US agriculture.

A. As Scott Doney and his team of experts in Chapter 24 of the Third National Climate

Assessment highlight, climate change is having a profound effect on the oceans and marine

resources in the United States of America. A critical review of marine ecosystems, fisheries, and

the lives dependent on them concerning climate change remains an important tool to understand

better how climate change affects marine ecosystems while giving a good status quo and

forecasts. The chapter’s value has been enormous for further research. The research results

provide an informed basis upon which to develop policies and manage resources within the

context of changing weather conditions. Through its publication in a major report released by the

US Global Change Research Program, the source’s credibility is reinforced. The editors and

authors are well-respected scientists, and therefore, the findings are based on solid research and

peer-reviewed articles. Consequently, this report is a reference document for environmental

researchers and policymakers.

Environmental scholars have written chapter 3 of this report titled “Preliminary Review of

Adaptation Options for Climate-Sensitive Ecosystems and Resources” under the editorship of

S.H. Julius and J.M. West. In this particular chapter, we will examine the adaptation strategies for

sensitive ecosystems and resources under climate change. This provides important information

on the adaptability of different ecosystems and the possible measures that can be put in place to

counter adverse weather changes. This report will be particularly helpful to researchers and

policymakers for conservation, environmental management, and climate change adaptation. This

publication is by the U.S. Climate Change Science Program, which is famous for its

comprehensive and multi-disciplinary approach to studying climate, hence making the report

reliable. The involvement of highly experienced editors and authors, as well as association with

the Environmental Protection Agency in the United States, makes the information very reliable

for use in carrying out research and policy on ecological adaptation to changing climatic

conditions.

US EPA (2015). Climate Change in the United States: Benefits of Global Action: Shellfish.

The report section from the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) titled "Climate Change

in the United States: The article “Global action: Shellfish” is included in a larger paper

evaluating the positive impacts of mitigating climate change on the US economy. Regarding the

shellfish segment, this industry remains highly susceptible to changes such as ocean acidification

and temperature variations. According to the report, there are significant economic and

environmental implications of taking global action on greenhouse gas emissions, including the
 5

improved health status of shellfish populations and the industries that depend upon them.

Policymakers and researchers investigating the interaction between climate policy and marine

ecology will find it a compelling illustration of the gains from mitigating global warming. The

report's credibility rests on a solid basis, which the EPA enjoys as an agent for rigorous scientific

analysis and policy guidance. A reliable source to understand the possible effects of climate

change on the marine environment and its economic consequences for the shellfish business can

be used as a reference to the demand for global climate action.
