Ergonomics in Design (EID) is planning a special issue on human factors/ergonomics solutions to global warming and climate change. EID is soliciting article contributions to this special issue on any topic related to how human factors/ergonomics principles and practices have been applied, or are being applied, in efforts to address global warming and climate change. Articles should show how critical the science of human factors was for the project or research, provide useful information to practitioners, and show how the results of the project or research addresses the problem of global warming and climate change. Information for how to submit articles is below. Pascala and Socolow (2004, Stabilization wedges: Solving the climate problem for the next 50 years with current technologies. Science, 305 (5686), 968-972.) proposed that the fundamental scientific, technical and industrial solutions to global warming and climate change were already available, and, if i...
