GOM communities, not fossil fuel interests, should determine policies that affect GOM people. He was on to something And the lobsterman was correct: we can blame carbon emissions for ocean acidification and warming in the Gulf of Maine. Sea levels are rising.

Today the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) released its annual report on billion-dollar weather and climate-related disasters in the United States, which tells a grimly familiar story. The math of rising carbon emissions and the rapidly dwindling carbon budget to stay below 1.5˚C.

Carbon pollution from fossil fuel use and land development have heated the atmosphere and ocean, leading to sea level rise, stronger storms, fisheries’ moving poleward, and widespread loss of sea ice and glaciers. We’ve heard so much about the effects of climate change on our ocean.

There, we can tackle shipping emissions, which are projected to generate 18% of all global emissions by 2050. We can decrease production of virgin plastic that comes from fossil fuels and pollutes our ocean as well. We need bold plans and execution at all levels of government to combat climate change. In the U.S.,

If there is one thing the fossil fuel industry, the government, and climate change activists might agree on it is this: in the end it all comes down to money. Oil, gas and coal companies, and their investors, are terrified of leaving fossil fuels in the ground. Without fossil fuels, most modern industry would not exist.

By comparing these two data sets, scientists can determine the probability that human activities are responsible for observed changes in temperature, precipitation patterns, sea level rise, and other climate change indicators. Climate source attribution studies can inform strategies to reduce carbon emissions.

percent of total emissions. They found that 48 percent of the increase in the region’s fire-friendly conditions since 1901—specifically drier land and vegetation—can be traced to the 88 companies’ carbon emissions. Ekwurzel was joined by Heede, then-UCS climate scientist Peter Frumhoff , and four other scientists. Licker et al.
