An expert on sea level dynamics and climate justice within the UN negotiations, Dr. Sadai is working to ensure that her scientific studies get in the hands of decisionmakers who are shaping our world today. SS: My climate change research journey began in 2015 when I started my Ph.D. at UMass Amherst.

My fellowship is based on using data that trace heat-trapping emissions to major fossil fuel producers in order to understand how they have affected the climate, particularly global sea levels, and to aid efforts to hold these producers accountable. I’ve marked these important years with dotted lines in Figure 2.

That 2013 headline resulted from the first effort to quantify emissions from the ‘carbon majors’ —fossil fuel companies and cement manufacturers whose businesses have contributed an outsized amount of heat-trapping gases to the atmosphere.

found that the companies—down to 88 due to mergers—were responsible for about 55 percent of ocean acidification between 1880 and 2015. His calculations account for emissions from such processes as venting as well as the fact that creating some products, such as steel, can actually store some carbon. percent of total emissions.

Sea level rise is a big deal Use, abuse and misuse of the CMIP6 ensemble The radiative forcing bar chart has gone full circle Droughts and floods are complicated Don’t mention the hiatus. Sea Level Rise: The previous IPCC reports, notably AR4 and AR5 (to a lesser extent) , have had a hard time dealing with SLR.

Air emissions : Any gas emitted into the atmosphere from industrial or commercial activity. Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) : A group of inert chemical used in many industrial and everyday processes such as our refrigerators that are not broken down at lower atmospheric levels and rise to the upper levels, destroying ozone.

Cop stands for conference of the parties under the UNFCCC, and the annual meetings have swung between fractious and soporific, interspersed with moments of high drama and the occasional triumph ( the Paris agreement in 2015 ) and disaster (Copenhagen in 2009). Why do we need a Cop – don’t we already have the Paris agreement? An increase of 1.5C
