2019) Scientists have discovered that the world is warming, which researchers attribute to a rise of greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere, which triggers changes in weather conditions as well as the frequency and severity of severe weather events like heavy storms, heat waves, and droughts. 2012-2013 Drought, n.d.)

It’s now widely acknowledged that to avoid catastrophic climate change we’ll need to physically remove CO2 from the atmosphere. By mid-century onwards, as much as 1 billion tonnes of carbon will need to be removed from the atmosphere each year. But ocean-based interventions have also been contentious.

Extremes : Back in 2012, the literature assessed by AR5 connecting changes in extremes to climate change was scant. As one example, the rate of warming over the past 15 years (1998–2012; 0.05 [–0.05 to 0.15] °C per decade), which begins with a strong El Niño, is smaller than the rate calculated since 1951 (1951–2012; 0.12 [0.08

Agricultural greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the raising of livestock and growth of crops for human consumption represent 14% of global GHG emissions. While burning methane to generate energy releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, the overall climate impact is reduced and the gas could potentially replace fossil fuel sources.)
