Translated from the original published at climatica.lamarea.com. Two numbers. One long-term goal. In 2015, nearly 200 countries agreed to “Holding the increase in the global average temperature to well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels and pursuing efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5°...
I used the image: “IASI CH4 zonal mean anomaly for 45° N – 60° N referred to 2015-2017” by Leonid Yurganov, of the methane concentration in the atmosphere in the northern temperate latitudes, from years 2010 to 2022 [“From my computer. Methane anomaly in moderate latitudes of the northern hemispher...
A degree more here and a degree more there, and pretty soon you have some serious increased warming. The post The ins and outs of understanding what’s in a degree appeared first on Yale Climate Connections.
The 1.5 degrees goal can be a 'useful spur to action,' but it's not a make or break point. Importantly, each 0.1-degree increase avoided is 'cause for celebration and hope.' The post The 1.5 degrees goal: Beware of unintended consequences appeared first on Yale Climate Connections.
Warming over land areas occurs significantly faster than over oceans, with 1.6 degrees and 0.9 degrees on average, respectively. It means that the global greenhouse gas emissions budget to stay under a 1.5-degree warming on land has already been used up
SCIENCE Climate Change as an ‘Important Driver’ of Temperatures Was the temperature in your city on a given day influenced by climate change? A new tool can answer that question for more than 1,000 cities around the world. The Climate Shift Index, developed by scientists at Climate Central, uses long-ter...
