Climate change negotiations and agreements could be more focused and aligned using an artificial intelligence model based on real-world data. Governments, organizations and other bodies have committed over the past decade to reducing or, in some cases, reaching net zero emissions over the next 10 to 50 years, with the aim of avoiding the worst […]

The Arctic sea, coral reefs and forest fires have all been recently affected by climate change. The lowest amount of ice for the year, as determined by satellite data, was present in the Arctic on September 18. This year, the ice cover has shrunk to a size of 1.80 million square miles, about 598,000 square […]
Founder of Patagonia Yvon Chouinardhis wife and two adult children irrevocably transferred their ownership of the outdoor apparel business to a collection of trusts and nonprofits. Now, the company’s profits will fund efforts to address climate change as well as protect wild areas. However, it will remain a private enterprise. According to the first reports […]
For decades, we’ve known that transitioning from fossil fuels to a low-carbon economy is critical to the health of our planet and future generations. It is almost impossible to overstate what is at stake if the world continues to burn fossil fuels at a continuous or increasing rate. Experts say that in a business as […]
Karly Hampshire had just started medical school when historic wildfires tore through Northern California in the fall of 2018. Hampshire, now a fourth-year medical student at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), was struck by the dystopian bright orange skies on her commute to class, wearing an N95 mask to protect herself from the […]
Climate models are unreliable when it comes to predicting the damage tropical cyclones will cause to sensitive coral reefs, according to a study published in the journal Earth’s future. Anticipating an increase in tropical cyclone intensity with climate change, conservationists have been interested in using the models to identify the vulnerability of reef communities to […]

This is the peak of hurricane season. While we don’t know the full impacts of this year’s tropical weather, one thing is almost certain: somewhere, someone is going to flood. After a community floods, another thing is almost certain: community leaders will ask for money to build a dike. Dykes, flood walls and other ‘hard’ […]
By Institute of Atmospheric Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences September 20, 2022 The cloudy Southern Ocean shows an improved radiation budget in the latest IPCC climate models, but there are still significant biases in the physical properties of clouds simulated over the Southern Ocean. These biases are largely canceled out when they jointly influence the […]

As abnormally high temperatures this month caused an unprecedented melting of the Greenland ice sheet, experts delivered a chilling message: get used to it. Huge reserves of ice lie on land in Greenland and Antarctica, and if even a small fraction melted in the oceans, sea levels would rise dramatically. Scientists are still determining how […]
NEW DELHI: Human-caused climate change likely increased intense rainfall that flooded swaths of land across Pakistan, according to rapid attribution analysis by a leading international team of climatologists as part of the World Weather Group Allocation. Extreme rainfall in the region has increased by 50-75% and some climate models suggest that this increase could be […]
Jennifer Rayner, advocacy officer at the Climate Council, said the lack of a fuel or emissions standard for new cars had made Australia a dumping ground for older, dirty models that manufacturers couldn’t sell in other markets. “These new data are not surprising. The problem we have is that there is no incentive for the […]
In “Climate change 101”, a brand new weekly column from Caroline SamsonHead of Sustainable Banking at Oxbury Bank Limited, we look at all things climate change – what it is, responses to it and how it could affect farmers in Africa and beyond. Climate change – it is an area that has developed its own […]
Climate change focuses on expanding reinsurance: Munich Re September 12, 2022 Munich Re says it is cultivating new high-resolution risk models for regional events such as flash floods, as the insurance industry faces the task of adapting risk management to the reality of the impacts of change climatic. “Given the losses incurred, it is necessary […]

To meet over 20 years of operational mission lifetime, the entire Meteosat Third Generation … [+] consists of six satellites: four imaging satellites (MTG-I) and two sounding satellites (MTG-S). This image shows an MTG-I satellite (in the foreground) and an MTG-S satellite. When fully deployed, the system will comprise two MTG-I satellites operating in tandem […]

Traffic calming issues Subject: Recent report on traffic problems in Glenwood Springs (9/7 Post Independent). Signal coordination seems like a good and necessary step (for quite some time now). However, I’m having trouble visualizing how medians might work. As hard as our good town laborers work, even CDOT competes with Wendy’s for employees (lower pay […]
