What’s most remarkable is that the decision calls for a 45% reduction of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions–of not only its own but also those of its customers–within less than a decade. To determine what this requires, the court turns to the 2018 Special Report on 1.5°C First, who can stand as a plaintiff?

So the Ditlevsens used sea surface temperatures (SST) in a region between the tip of Greenland and Britain as an indicator, based on Caesar et al. 2018 ( PDF ; I’m a coauthor on that paper). We have direct AMOC measurements only since 2004, a time span too short for this type of study. The reanalysis data show the latter is the case.

As those paying attention to agriculture know, climate impacts have become increasingly apparent since the last assessment was published in 2018. Sea level rise is also important in the region, causing saltwater intrusion and salinization. Other risks include increasing tropical cyclones and sea level rise.

Carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) is the most important greenhouse gas that we have added to the atmosphere, however, some of it has been absorbed by land and oceans. The global mean sea level has increased by 20 cm from 1901 to 2018, and the rate of increase has accelerated and is now about 3.7 mm increase every year.

by 2026-27 from a 2018-19 baseline. Its Climate Resilient City Action Plan, which is part of the Urban-LEDS and was approved in December 2021, identifies actions with the total mitigation potential of 60,748 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent every year, and addresses local climate risks in many of the same areas as Narayanganj.

As Pennsylvania’s climate has become warmer and there have been more swings in extreme weather, we’re already seeing more frequent flood damage to communities, businesses, homes, and crops and livestock, as well as coastal sea level rise. Pennsylvania is acting to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from power plants.
