Recent science doesn’t support this optimism, as new studies show that the increased release of Black Carbon, one of the most potent climate change forcers—as well as soot, carbon dioxide, methane and ozone from more traffic in the Arctic—could lead to a 20% increase in the global heating that is causing warmer ocean temperatures.

Candidate in the Department of Atmospheric Science at Colorado State University Growing up in Latin America, food was at the center of many family gatherings. But in recent years, many of us have asked ourselves the question: what role does the food I eat play in climate change? greenhouse gas emissions in the year 2020.

We’re already experiencing the impact of climate change across the world; now an update from the IPCC suggests weather extremes could become the norm in the near future. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is the United Nations body for assessing the science related to climate change.

Sea level rise within the Pacific has already surpassed the 2007 estimate from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and further predictions infer a further 2m increase within the century. [1] Greenhouse gases, particularly carbon dioxide are great absorbers of heat radiation coming from the Earth’s surface.

When fuels are burned to create energy in a process called combustion, black carbon along with carbon monoxide and other compounds are created because there is not enough oxygen in the atmosphere for the reaction to go to completion. Whenever there are combustion processes, of which there are many in our industrial society (e.g.,

On May 21, 2024, the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea (ITLOS) released its long-awaited advisory opinion on climate change. There was little discussion, either in the written statements or at the oral hearing, of so-called “marine geoengineering” activities that seek to use the ocean to combat climate change.

This post is an introduction to methane in climate change: where it comes from, how it’s different from CO 2 , how those differences matter, and what that all means for controls. Atmospheric concentrations. Climate impact. I won’t go into details on the current state of methane controls and proposals for new ones.
