Melting glaciers won’t just contribute to sea-level rise, although that’s a big deal too — they will alter the fabric of daily life for people across the world, who rely on these enormous stores of ice for drinking water and irrigation. MORE

The IPCC 6th Assessment Report (AR6) combined the bad news, that a global temperature rise of 1.5°C C average temperature rise by 2100, vs one where warming falls back to below 1.5C C average temperature rise by 2100. C average temperature rise by 2100. MORE

As this year comes to an end rising emissions are exhausting our carbon budgets. We could witness a rise of CO2 up to 1000 ppm and this will cause the Earth’s average temperature to rise by as much as 11 degrees over the next century. This year was difficult to say the least. MORE

Climate change is accelerating and intensifying across every region of the planet, bringing with it increases in rainfall, flooding, drought, heatwaves, and sea levels that are already having significant implications for economies around the world. MORE

For years (and we mean many years), the ocean helped us mitigate the early effects of human emissions by absorbing greenhouse gases, like carbon dioxide and heat, from the atmosphere. MORE

That means increases in heavy rainfall, flooding, drought, heatwaves, and sea levels are all set to worsen regardless of the emissions pathway taken forward by humanity from here. As climate evidence mounts, and emissions continue to rise, the window of opportunity is fast closing. MORE

Today the world's leading climate scientists delivered the clearest picture yet of the scale of the climate crisis that is already unfolding, as well as the likely impacts of further temperature rises over the course of century. degrees and rising. MORE

For example, recent research found that human-caused sea-level rise increased the damages suffered when Hurricane Sandy hit the US East Coast in 2012 by $8.1 MORE
