Long term, climate change is a greater threat than the COVID-19 pandemic. An area of high pressure above the Pacific Ocean was driven eastwards through the jet stream by a “Rossby wave” – a planetary-scale fluctuation arising from the Coriolis force. Where are they most likely? How extreme might such occurrences be?

In the last few months he has given two interviews in which he goes into to detail about what he describes as a ‘missing element’ in climate science and what he imagines the consequences are for climate change. The second was a podcast with the somewhat troubled Chris Smith , an Australian journalist. .

Student in the Department of Atmospheric Science at Colorado State University Most people remember the water cycle they learned in school: water evaporates from lakes, rivers, and the ocean, air carrying this moisture rises, cools, condenses, and forms clouds, and these clouds precipitate water back down to the surface.

Is climate change making ‘firenadoes’ more likely? Can climate resilience technology help businesses protect people and property from such devastating wildfire events? Much like big volcanic eruptions, the smoke from fire tornadoes can block radiation from the Sun and potentially cause temporary climatic cooling.

(Figure 1) These properties are a double-edged sword: while they are the root of the problems that black carbon causes, they also make mitigating black carbon one of the most actionable ways to fight climate change.

Some of the impacts of climate change are playing out faster and with a greater magnitude than we predicted.”. While we still have those things, the facts show that climate change has transformed the months of May through October into what we are calling the Danger Season. Those impacts do not affect everyone equally.

Here are a few things that mark this report out from previous versions that relate to issues we’ve discussed here before: Extreme events are increasingly connected to climate (duh!) Extremes : Back in 2012, the literature assessed by AR5 connecting changes in extremes to climate change was scant. Figure SPM 8.

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. First, underwater – in the sediments on the bottom of swamps, lakes, and the ocean. W/m 2 from elevated CO 2. Rice farm, Williams, California.

Climatology, or sometimes known as climate science, is the study of the Earth's weather patterns and the systems that cause them. Natural Variables That Influence Our Climate. They are usually predictable, but the increasing effects of climate change can sometimes push them back to a little later. What Climatology Is.

These early thinkers were Thales (5) who created natural philosophy and theorized that seismological events such as earthquakes had a natural cause (correct) but assumed (wrongly) that landmasses were giant rafts that reacted to ocean ripples which caused the quakes.

There may also be an extreme variation between warm and cool seasons, including extreme winds and storms due to the mixing of cold and warm air. Surface albedo is high - heat acquired during the day is radiated at night. Climate change presents a risk of desertification of present marginal landscapes.
