Apparently humans can cause something as large as the globe to become warmer,

But the man made price we put on Tomatoes are increasing and we can't do anything about that.

Get accustomed to extreme weather and flooding.

Eight warmest years on record witness upsurge in climate change impacts

Sea level rise accelerates, European glacier melt shatters records, extreme weather causes devastation


Sharm-El-Sheikh, Egypt 6 November (WMO) - The past eight years are on track to be the eight warmest on record, fuelled by ever-rising greenhouse gas concentrations and accumulated heat. Extreme heatwaves, drought and devastating flooding have affected millions and cost billions this year, according to the World Meteorological Organization’s provisional State of the Global Climate in 2022 report.

Image

The tell-tale signs and impacts of climate change are becoming more dramatic. The rate of sea level rise has doubled since 1993. It has risen by nearly 10 mm since January 2020 to a new record high this year. The past two and a half years alone account for 10 percent of the overall rise in sea level since satellite measurements started nearly 30 years ago.

2022 took an exceptionally heavy toll on glaciers in the European Alps, with initial indications of record-shattering melt. The Greenland ice sheet lost mass for the 26th consecutive year and it rained (rather than snowed) there for the first time in September.

The global mean temperature in 2022 is currently estimated to be about 1.15 [1.02 to 1.28] °C above the 1850-1900 pre-industrial average. A rare triple-dip cooling La Niña means that 2022 is likely to “only” be fifth or sixth warmest. However, this does not reverse the long-term trend; it is only a matter of time until there is another warmest year on record.

Indeed, the warming continues. The 10-year average for the period 2013-2022 is estimated to be 1.14 [1.02 to 1.27] °C above the 1850-1900 pre-industrial baseline. This compares with 1.09°C from 2011 to 2020, as estimated by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Sixth Assessment report.

Ocean heat was at record levels in 2021 (the latest year assessed), with the warming rate particularly high in the past 20 years.

“The greater the warming, the worse the impacts. We have such high levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere now that the lower 1.5°C of the Paris Agreement is barely within reach,” said WMO Secretary-General Prof Petteri Taalas.

“It’s already too late for many glaciers and the melting will continue for hundreds if not thousands of years, with major implications for water security. The rate of sea level rise has doubled in the past 30 years. Although we still measure this in terms of millimetres per year, it adds up to half to one meter per century and that is a long-term and major threat to many millions of coastal dwellers and low-lying states,” he said.

can't mitigate emissions in T&T without a WFH policy-at least a hybrid system. where else do most ppl go in their vehicles every single day? its not to maracas, or fete, it's work- and a lot of them 2-3 hrs driving bumper to bumper to work in our capital city. if it's anything we can learn from the pandemic it's that many can work from home- anyone who is a parent actually did it for 2 whole years!

during the lockdowns emissions drastically decreased. some ppl wnat to say productivity will suffer- well for thousands of us, driving 2-3 hrs in traffic every morning, then again in the afternoon is not my idea of productivity. but u see those who making the decisions that affect everybody probably live 5-10 mins away from the office :roll:

We committed to a reduction of 103m tonnes in CO2 equivalent by 2030 at the Paris Agreement.
Decreases are going to have to be made at the electricity generation level as well as transport to reach that agreed upon target.

what is that fugitive emissions?

also we need to subsidize radiant barrier insulation while we reduce the subsidy on electricity- we obviously not using heat- so it have to be AC usage and very inefficient use of AC that is driving that power consumption. those who use the most should also pay higher rates than they are paying now once a certain threshold is passed.

The studies that I am aware of (I gave you a link) are about low cost methods of building more energy efficient residential structures. I suggest that you pore over the document for a few minutes.

Sea surface temperatures are a major influence on the world’s weather. Hotter oceans help supercharge extreme weather, leading to more intense hurricanes and typhoons and more moisture in the air, which brings more intense rains and flooding. Warmer water also expands, pushing up sea levels and endangering coastal cities.

The temperature of the oceans is far less affected by natural climate variability than the temperature of the atmosphere, making the oceans an undeniable indicator of global heating.

Last year is expected to be the fourth or fifth hottest recorded for surface air temperatures when the final data is collated. During 2022, we saw the third La Niña event in a row, which is the cooler phase of an irregular climate cycle centred on the Pacific that affects global weather patterns. When El Niño returns, global air temperatures will be boosted even higher.

Climate change is real. It refers to shifts in the climate caused by human activity that leads to changes in global temperatures and other environmental conditions. Climate change manifests itself in different strange weather patterns, melting icebergs, rising water levels, heat waves and other extreme weather events.

When referring to why some places might be colder due to climate change, this is often referred to as “polar amplification” or “Arctic amplification". Polar amplication suggests that when polar regions experience warming (as a result of climate change), they warm faster than lower latitudes in the same hemisphere. This warming can then lead to impacts such as decreased snowfall, smaller glacier masses and overall less sea ice across the Arctic region. Since they are naturally colder climates, when they experience more accelerated warming it can cause the local environment surrounding them (other parts of the same hemisphere) to experience cooler climates than normal resulting in colder temperatures for those areas compared to historical averages. One reason this happens could be because with reduced amounts of snow or ice reflecting sunlight away from Earth's surface during peak times of day it causes an increase in absorbed solar radiation instead which can affect temperature trends on a global scale. Additionally, large bodies of water near Arctic regions can play an important role in transferring heat from land to air which also affects air temperatures in nearby areas along coasts.

Overall climate science suggests that climate change has been impacting various parts of the world differently depending on local conditions and geographic features. For example areas close the Arctic may have experienced colder temperatures due to the amplified effects of polar warming described above while others have seen altogether opposite temperature trends just as hot if not hotter (such as California's Tahoe-Truckee area). Therefore it is important for us all be conscious how our actions are contributing more carbon emissions into our atmosphere and then further influencing environments around us on both a micro and macro level.

Climate campaigner Greta Thunberg was detained alongside other activists on Tuesday during protests against the demolition of the coal village of Luetzerath but the entire group will be released later in the day, according to police.

"There is no reason to hold them for days. It might take hours or they will go immediately," a spokesperson for regional police in Aachen said, speaking about the whole group of demonstrators.

They know. Everyone knows.

“The world does not need to exploit its entire renewable resource — just 1% is enough to replace all fossil fuel usage. Each year we are fuelling the climate crisis by burning three million years of fossilised sunshine in coal, oil and gas while we use just 0.01% of daily sunshine.”

Building enough solar panels to meet global energy demand would take up just 0.3% of land, less than the area occupied by fossil fuels. The world’s largest oilfield, Ghawar in Saudi Arabia, which occupies 8,400 square kilometres, produces the equivalent of 0.9 PWh each year. Building solar panels over the same area would generate 1.2 PWh a year on average globally and 1.6 PWh in Saudi Arabia which is sunnier than average.

The study finds that the opportunity is greatest in emerging markets that have the highest solar and wind potential relative to their domestic demand. Many are still building out their energy systems, and cheap renewables offer a route to bring power to more people, create new industries, jobs and wealth. Africa has a massive 39% of global potential and could become a renewables superpower.

The economic potential of solar has been unleashed by a huge fall in costs, down by an average 18% every year since 2010. It is growing faster than any previous energy technology at this size with an average annual increase of 39% in the last decade – nearly doubling capacity every two years. Wind is on a similar trajectory: over the last decade prices have fallen by an average 9% year while capacity has grown 17% a year. [4] This is driving efficiencies and advances such as better panels and higher turbines which reduce costs further.

UN: Earth is On Track For Catastrophic Warming

https://www.npr.org/2023/03/20/11627114 ... u-n-report

‘The climate time-bomb is ticking’: The world is running out of time to avoid catastrophe, new UN report warns
CNN
Updated 10:12 AM EDT, Mon March 20, 2023

The world is rapidly approaching catastrophic levels of heating with international climate goals set to slip out of reach unless immediate and radical action is taken, according to a new UN-backed report.

“The climate time-bomb is ticking,” said António Guterres, Secretary-General of the United Nations, in a statement to mark the launch of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s synthesis report on Monday. “Humanity is on thin ice – and that ice is melting fast,” he added.

The report draws on the findings of hundreds of scientists to provide a comprehensive assessment of how the climate crisis is unfolding.

The science is not new – the report pulls together what the IPCC has already set out in a cluster of other reports over the last few years – but it paints a very stark picture of where the world is heading.
The sun sets beyond pumpjacks in the Belridge oil field on November 03, 2021 near McKittrick, California.

UN report on climate crisis confirms the world already has solutions -- but politics are getting in the way

“This report is the most dire and troubling assessment yet of the spiraling climate impacts we all face if systemic changes are not made now,” Sara Shaw, program coordinator at Friends of the Earth International, said in a statement.

The impacts of planet-warming pollution are already more severe than expected and we are hurtling towards increasingly dangerous and irreversible consequences, the report says.

While the goal of limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit) above preindustrial levels is still possible, the report noted, the pathway to achieving it is rapidly closing as global production of planet-heating pollution continues to increase – emissions grew by nearly 1% last year.

Concentrations of carbon pollution in the atmosphere are at their highest level for more than two million years and the rate of temperature rise over the last half a century is the highest in 2,000 years.

The impacts of the climate crisis continue to fall hardest on poorer, vulnerable countries that have done least to cause it.

“Our planet is already reeling from severe climate impacts, from scorching heat waves and destructive storms to severe droughts and water shortages,” said Ani Dasgupta, president and CEO of World Resources Institute, in a statement.
