A science-based move to climate change adaptation

Real Climate

Climate change adaptation was addressed in the Paris Agreement from 2015, the Climate Adaptation Summit in January 2021 , and will be one of four key priorities during the upcoming COP26. However, I would argue that the climate research community has not had a visible presence during any of these meetings.

A distraction due to errors, misunderstanding and misguided Norwegian statistics

Real Climate

The most important problem with the sun-climate explanation is that there has been no long-term change in either solar activity or cosmic radiation over the last hundred years that can explain the global warming we are now seeing. It’s urgent to fix our climate problem In August, the global mean temperature was close to 1.5°C

The COP26 climate summit: what scientists hope it will achieve

Physics World

But the United Nations has just said that the latest commitments of the 192 parties of the 2015 Paris agreement will equate to a 16% rise in global greenhouse-gas emissions in 2030 compared to 2010. While most climate scientists are not directly involved in high-level negotiations, their work is essential to the process.

COP28: The world temperature is expected to reach 1.4 degrees C this year

A Greener Life

degrees C target that world leaders agreed upon in the Paris Agreement of 2015. The organisation labelled it as a ‘deafening cacophony’ of broken climate records. Scientists worry that 2024 could be even worse, as the El Nino climate impact is likely to peak this winter and drive temperatures even higher.

Viewpoint: Forty-three years of the environmental movement?

A Greener Life

I had just turned nine years old in 1988 when one of the world’s most prominent and daring climate scientists James Hansen gave evidence to the US Congress on the link between fossil fuels and climate change. Today, wind energy production is a global industry rivalling the fossil fuel industry.

Saudi Arabia echoes “Business as usual” as a key COP28 argument

A Greener Life

Climate scientists say the world needs to cut greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 43% by 2030, compared to 2019 levels. Only then is the world going to have any chance of meeting the 2015 Paris Agreement goal of keeping temperature increases well below 2 degrees C.
