The article investigates the under-researched deep causes
Research gap analysis derived from 4 earth_science papers in our local library.
The gap
The article investigates the under-researched deep causes of human-caused climate change, namely the increasing demand for discretionary, energy-intensive practices resulting from affluence.
Evidence profile
Stated in the cells research gap and inline gaps and abstract sections of the source papers, classified as general, drawn from work published between 2012 and 2026, spanning 4 journals. Those papers have been cited 137 times in total.

Future research should examine whether similar qualitative dynamics arise in other climatic set- tings and explore how external climate drivers, land-surface processes, and anthropogenic influences may alter these regime structures over longer time scales.

While the implications of such changes for human societies are potentially profound, the empirical evidence base for understanding human–environment interactions focuses largely on the relatively recent past, during which examples of rapid and severe climate change are lacking.
