Earth Day: 9 Trends That Show the Harsh Reality of Climate Change | The Weather Channel – Articles from The Weather Channel | weather.com – The Weather Channel
The years 2016 and 2020 are tied for the warmest on record, according to NASA. (NASA) A look at climate trends indicates that conditions on Earth have changed dramatically over the past century. The coming century will bring even more…
Scientists more confident projecting ENSO changes under global warming – EurekAlert
IMAGE: The responses to ENSO of boundary layer humidity, rainfall, tropospheric temperature and circulation are amplified in a warmer climate view more Credit: IAP El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is an irregular periodic variation in winds and sea surface temperatures (SSTs) over…
Annotated Bibliography: Synthetic Turf and Climate, health, biodiversity and microplastics pollution issues
Increasing use of synthetic surfaces and synthetic turf is problematic for Several reasons. Synthetic turf is: Derived from fossil fuel petrochemical industry Produces greenhouse gas emissions during manufacturing and as it degrades Increases landfill at end of life Produces micro-plastic…
Scientists more confident projecting ENSO changes under global warming
(Chinese Academy of Sciences Headquarters) Scientists from the Institute of Atmospheric Physics (IAP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and their collaborators are more confident in projecting ENSO changes under global warming, although ENSO-related climate variability seems doomed to increase.
Raindrop sizes similar on Earth and alien worlds
Whether the raindrop is made of water on Earth, methane on Titan, or liquid iron on an alien world, a new study shows that all raindrops will fall to the ground at a similar size.
Warming homogenizes apparent temperature sensitivity of ecosystem respiration – Science Advances
INTRODUCTION Terrestrial ecosystem respiration (Re), the sum of autotrophic respiration from primary producers and heterotrophic respiration from consumers and detritivores, represents a fundamental biospheric function and plays a major role in the global carbon cycle and growth rate of atmospheric…
Climate scientists, what keeps you up at night? – DW (English)
What really makes this reporter’s stomach churn thinking about climate change? Thawing permafrost. A scenario where it all melts, releasing copious amounts of CO2 and methane (it holds twice as much carbon as the atmosphere holds right now), and there’s no going…
Seriously ugly: Here’s how Australia will look if the world heats by 3°C – ThePrint
Drought conditions at Lake Hume, Victoria, Australia | Representational image | Flickr Text Size: A- A+ Imagine, for a moment, a different kind of Australia. One where bushfires on the catastrophic scale of Black Summer happen almost every year. One…
Global Warming Causes Uneven Changes in Heat Stress Indicators – Eos
As the planet warms under the effects of human-caused climate change, prolonged periods of high temperatures are projected to become a significant public health challenge. The elderly are often more susceptible than others to the effects of temperature extremes, so…
Global warming causes uneven changes in heat stress indicators – PreventionWeb
These maps show the frequency with which three heat stress indicators exceed their “very high” and “extreme” thresholds for a global warming level of 3°C, which is the most likely outcome given current policies . While there is a clear…
