In island n ations that are losing their homes to sea-level rise, and in other highly vulnerable countries, there were bitter pills to swallow after global commitments to cut emissions fell far short of the goal to keep global warming to 1.5 The shifts within financial markets away from exposure to carbon emissions was palpable.

Climate change is impacting cities and their residents in many profound ways, from poor air quality to flooding to biodiversity loss and extreme heat. Now, with the help of a new tool, select cities can access localized, integrated data to.

The Biden administration announced a proposal on Tuesday to regulate methane leaking from oil and gas wells for the first time, and more than 100 countries agreed to stop deforestation by 2030.

Taking immediate action to slash emissions towards net zero by 2050 could make a monumental difference to the level, frequency, and breadth of growing climate impacts, the scientists emphasise. Without deep carbon pollution cuts now, the 1.5-degree We need immediate action on energy. degree goal will fall quickly out of reach.

Sea level rising (not because of melting). Naturally the ice which is ‘floating’ in the Arctic will not directly impact sea levels when it melts. Lot’s of Methane. Some of you might already be aware of the ticking time bomb called methane. It is other physics: water will expand when heated.

Despite the region’s shrinking wetlands, the government continues to permit new LNG export facilities on the Gulf Coast , and is encouraging hydrogen and carbon capture sequestration developments , though they too will lead to further land loss. Fittingly, Landrieu is also playing a role in rehabilitating natural gas’s image.

Harmful Wastes” Shell’s knowledge of the risks posed by the build-up of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) from burning fossil fuels can be traced to at least the early 1960s. In 1962, Shell’s chief geologist, Houston-based Marion King Hubbert, produced a book-length report on energy for the U.S. Shell had other plans. corn belt.

Exxon, for example, designed oil platforms to accommodate more rapid sea level rise, even as the company publicly denied that climate change was occurring. Don’t Call It Methane, It’s ‘Natural’ Gas. Methane is an even more powerful greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide, yet it has received far less attention.

Most people understand the general impacts of climate change: sea-level rise, worsening weather events, severe heat, etc., As it thaws, it releases trapped greenhouse gases like carbon and methane, which in turn drive a vicious cycle of more warming and consequential thawing. The conclusion?

She also falsely claimed wind energy doesn’t reduce carbon emissions and approvingly shared an article by James Delingpole explaining why wind farm supporters were “deluded, criminal or insane”.

While the ramifications of such data may be difficult to grasp by the layperson, what’s important to note here is that carbon emissions from human activities have been accelerating at an alarming rate. The UCSUSA points out that “Consequences of global warming include drought, sea level rise, flooding, extreme weather, and species loss.
