Recent frontiers of climate changes in East Asia at global warming of 1.5°C and 2°C | npj Climate and Atmospheric Science – Nature.com
East Asian monsoon circulations The East Asian monsoon consists of the East Asian summer monsoon (EASM) and East Asian winter monsoon (EAWM) (Fig. 2 and Table 1). It is widely accepted that changes in both EASM and EAWM circulations can…
Climate finance: Donors give less than they claim; and not for mitigation to needy countries
Mitigation finance primarily went to middle-income countries such as Brazil, India, Mexico and Indonesia
Climate Alpha wants to tell you where to move in light of global warming – Axios
A new climate software firm that’s announcing itself to the world on Tuesday says it has a competitive edge that other companies lack. The big picture: Climate Alpha, which just raised a $4 million seed round, uses AI and machine…
Earthquakes seem to come in a more predictable pattern than we thought
A machine learning algorithm can assess how likely it is that a large earthquake will hit a region over the next few years, which could one day help mitigate damage from future quakes
Warming Trends: Carbon-Neutral Concrete, Climate-Altered Menus and Olympic Skiing in Vanuatu – InsideClimate News
SOLUTIONS Growing the Limestone for Climate-Friendly Concrete Concrete is the most prolific man-made material on the planet, and as a result, its production is one of the most significant contributors to climate change. The concrete production process involves burning quarried…
Machine Learning Simulations Show How Each State of Sleep Contributes to Learning and Memory
Weird dreams may help the brain consolidate our experiences and learn from them, a new study has shown. The importance of sleep and dreams for learning and memory has long been recognized, and that connection may be the crazy dreams that occur in rapid-eye movement (REM) sleep, the stage of sleep when the brain is […]

Turning Seawater Into Drinking Water â With the Push of a Button
MIT researchers have developed a portable desalination unit, weighing less than 10 kilograms, that can remove particles and salts to generate drinking water. The suitcase-sized device, which requires less power to operate than a cell phone charger, can also be driven by a small, portable solar panel, which can be purchased online for around $50. […]

What choices does the world need to make to keep global warming below 2 C? – MIT News
When the 2015 Paris Agreement set a long-term goal of keeping global warming “well below 2 degrees Celsius, compared to pre-industrial levels” to avoid the worst impacts of climate change, it did not specify how its nearly 200 signatory nations…
