How Major Carbon Producers Drive Sea Level Rise and Climate Injustice

Union of Concerned Scientists

In a new study released today, UCS attributes substantial temperature and sea level rise to emissions traced to the largest fossil fuel producers and cement manufacturers. m (10-21 inches) of sea level rise by the year 2300. And critically, we demonstrate how these emissions will cause harm for centuries to come.

Do Paris Agreement Temperature Goals Address Sea Level Rise and Climate Justice?

Union of Concerned Scientists

Sea level rise presents numerous climate justice issues. New research that I led as part of my PhD dissertation, which was just published in Earth’s Future , digs deep into the topic of sea level rise and climate justice. Climate justice research can help inform these conversations.

The radiative forcing over such a long time period needs to take into account the increase in solar irradiance (about 4%) and the impacts of paleo-geography on temperature that aren’t linked to greenhouse gas changes. 103-121, 2022. The first factor increases the apparent sensitivity, and the second decreases it.

California’s Thirsty Future: The Role of Vapor Pressure Deficit in Our Changing Climate and Drought

Union of Concerned Scientists

From droughts to wildfires to rising sea levels and torrential rains, the state has felt the effects of a changing climate in a variety of ways. billion over the 2021–2022 period. California is no stranger to the impacts of climate change. In California alone, crop revenue losses due to drought totaled $3.0
