The study, published in 2021 by the scientific journal Nature, said sea levels in Cartagena have risen by about 7.02 millimeters (0.27 in) per year since the beginning of the 21st century, a “higher rate” than the global average of 2.9 millimeters. , Sea levels in the Gulf could rise by 26 centimeters by 2050 […]
While El Nino and other effects have played a role in the recent unprecedented heat, scientists insist that the greenhouse gas emissions that humans continue to pump into the atmosphere are the main culprit. The UN's IPCC climate panel has warned that the world is likely to fall within 1.5C of warming by the early […]
This photo taken on August 16, 2023 shows an iceberg about a few hundred meters long drifting along the Scoresby Sound Fjord in eastern Greenland. The French National Center for Scientific Research is leading an expedition to explore Greenland’s isolated fjords, the planet’s largest fjord system that has been largely unstudied. The expedition, organized by […]
Warmer sea surface temperatures are largely caused by global warming, which is primarily caused by the burning of fossil fuels. Every few years, a naturally occurring weather phenomenon, El Niño, warms the ocean surface in the southern Pacific, causing hot weather globally. The current El Nino is expected to peak in 2024. In contrast, a […]
Three technologies – solar, wind and electric vehicles – are largely responsible for the improved projections of global warming since 2015. OCED now estimates, “Solar PV is projected to reduce emissions by about three Gt in 2030,” which is roughly equal to the emissions from all the world’s cars on the road today. Compared to […]
The protocol, which covers 53 countries, explicitly bans the export of waste or other matter to other countries for dumping or incineration at sea. However, the 2009 amendment exempts CO2 for storage in sub-sea geological formations from this general export restriction. “By approving this amendment, the Federal Council is facilitating the export of CO2 for […]
Under the Paris Agreement, countries are required to submit deeper emissions reduction plans, known as nationally determined contributions, or NDCs. UNEP found that fully implementing “unconditional” NDCs for 2030 – which countries plan to do regardless of external support – would have a 66 percent chance of a 2.9C increase in Earth’s average temperature by […]
Yet accelerating transition to net zero carbon emissions requires a rapid and massive change in the energy landscape that “could cause severe damage to the economy,” Thomas Pyle, president of the US Energy Alliance, said last month. Environmental activists estimate that the five rich northern countries – the United States, Canada, Australia, Norway and the […]
Dhimal of the NHRC in Nepal said that no official alone can stop dengue as mosquitoes are found everywhere from garages to corners of houses which are beyond the reach of the government. “Everyone should be aware and proactive and contribute their bit to control the spread of the vector,” he added. Civil society and […]
According to scientists, the oceans have absorbed 90 percent of the excess heat generated by human activity since the beginning of the industrial age.This extra heat continues to accumulate as greenhouse gases – primarily from burning oil, gas and coal – build up in Earth’s atmosphere.Except in the polar regions, global average sea surface temperatures […]
The problem has become so severe that officials are urging local farmers not to grow crops that require a lot of water. This means that farmer Kanyas Gejer is no longer able to grow sugar beet, a particularly thirsty vegetable. “All my hard work went to waste,” lamented the 56-year-old, pointing to his withered apricots. […]
In January, an international group of researchers said the amount of heat in the upper oceans in 2022 would exceed last year’s level by about 10 zeta joules – the equivalent of 100 times the worldwide electricity generation in 2021. Records going back to the late 1950s show a steady increase in surface temperatures, with […]
The race is on for glaciologists, who are “watching their primary material disappear from the planet’s surface forever”, Jerome Chapalaz, president of the Ice Memory Foundation, told AFP on April 3. “It is our responsibility as glaciologists of this generation to make sure that even a little bit of it is preserved.” When the researchers […]
The study analyzed five CFCs with no or few current uses, starting from the point of their total global phase-out in 2010. All five gases were at their highest abundance in 2020 since direct measurements began. Those emissions have so far had only a minor effect on the ozone layer and a slightly larger climate […]
