A new study published in Frontiers in Environmental Science has revealed that, in addition to the influence of gradual global heating, Antarctica is increasingly affected by extreme environmental events; a recognized and predicted outcome of our heating world. The world’s largest ever heatwave (38.5C

In 2018 alone, it’s estimated that California’s wildfire damages amounted to nearly $149 billion. When forests burn, that carbon is released into the atmosphere and contributes to greenhouse gases (mostly as carbon dioxide).

China’s emissions are about 30%) and that CO 2 , the most important greenhouse gas, accumulates in the atmosphere, the defendant’s emissions are not determinative. To determine what this requires, the court turns to the 2018 Special Report on 1.5°C C warming of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).

These rare storms are expected to become more frequent with climate change as a warmer atmosphere can hold (and during storms release!) For every one degree Celsius that the temperature increases, the atmosphere can hold 7% more water, a thermodynamic law of physics called atmospheric holding capacity. more moisture.

OK, on to methane in the environment: The headline here – whether you’re talking about atmospheric concentrations, climate impacts, or emissions – is that there is a lot less methane than CO 2 , but it’s a more potent climate heater and it’s increasing faster. Atmospheric concentrations. Climate impact. W/m 2 from elevated CO 2.
