The report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) on “Climate Change 2022: Impacts, Adaptation and Vulnerability” released Monday night warns food production will be impacted, even with only small amount of global warming.
Human-induced climate change is causing dangerous and widespread disruption in nature and affecting the lives of billions of people around the world, despite efforts to reduce the risks. People and ecosystems least able to cope are being hardest hit, according to the latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report, released today.
Climate change is mounting widespread disruption on the planet -; with the most marginalized people and vulnerable places the hardest hit -; while severe, irreversible changes are still to come if the world does not do enough to curb warming and spark resiliency. That's according to the latest United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report released on Monday.
With the help of machine learning, a new study has identified the large-scale relationships existing between vegetation and climatic characteristics.
Change is difficult, particularly when it includes mega-droughts, soaring summer temperatures, invasive species, and other items from the list of unpleasant results of climate change.
According to an EPFL study, if we take immediate measures to reduce CO2 emissions, we could limit the rise in the temperature of Swiss rivers to 1 degree Celsius between now and 2090 without drastically affecting their discharge. Inaction, on the other hand, would threaten ecosystems and jeopardize the country's agriculture sector and electricity production.
Microplastics are spreading throughout the world and have emerged as a new contaminant in the water environment. Rivers may play a significant role in the transfer of microplastics from land to sea. However, field studies on the environmental fate of microplastics at the watershed scale are still missing, which is critical for determining the exact roles of river systems in transferring microplastics into the ocean.
New research from Northern Arizona University shows rising temperatures are causing Earth's coldest forests to shift northward, raising concerns about biodiversity, an increased risk of wildfires and mounting impacts of climate change on northern communities.
Global warming poses a great threat to our society, and it will continue unless a deep and rapid reduction in greenhouse gas emissions is implemented.
Climate change and land-use change are projected to make wildfires more frequent and intense, with a global increase of extreme fires of up to 14 per cent by 2030, 30 per cent by the end of 2050 and 50 per cent by the end of the century, according to a new report by the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) and GRID-Arendal.
