Emissions Must Fall By Mid-Century to Meet Paris Temperature Goals, Study Finds
With the exception of the U.S., every country in the world has now expressed an intention to honor the Paris agreement, which means they have all committed to limiting global warming to...
Research Finds Extreme Temperature Fluctuations Linked To Increased Rates Of Heart Attacks
Temperatures along the East Coast began fluctuating wildly last month, from winter-like cold one day — which is normal for February — to summer-like hot the next day — which is anything but. This is a portentous harbinger...
Temperature Rise over 2° Celsius (3.6° Fahrenheit) Possible in 13 Global Cities in 2020s, Study Finds
Over just the next decade or so, 13 large global cities are facing temperature rises that could exceed 2° degrees Celsius (3.6° Fahrenheit), according to a new report from the Urban Climate...
Keeping Global Temperature Increase Below 1.5 Degrees Celsius Unlikely, Says IPCC Draft Report
Every September, the Intergovernmental Panel On Climate Change releases a report on global warming, but that report doesn’t take shape overnight. It is the result of nearly a year’s worth of work...
Average Temperatures In Alaska In December Shatter Existing Record
Climate scientists have been warning us for decades that global warming will affect polar regions first. If that is so — assuming those scientists are not all being paid by the Chinese...
World Temperatures To Rise By Up To 15% More By 2100 Than Previously Thought, Study Finds
Earlier estimates may have understated the extent by which world temperatures will rise by 2100 by up to 15%, according to a new study published in the journal Nature.
In other words, if...
UN: Current Climate Goals Would Still Lead To 3° Celsius Temperature Rise By 2100, More Aggressive Targets Needed
The achievement of the Paris Climate Agreement mitigation plans submitted to date by 163 different countries would still lead to a 3° Celsius temperature rise by 2100, according to the UN.
What that...
National Climate Report Finds Virtually ALL Global Temperature Rise Since 1950 Caused By Human Activity
The National Climate Report is an annual assessment mandated by Congress. This year’s report has just been released and it contains this stunning finding — virtually all of the observed increase in...
High Risk That Temperatures Could Exceed Thermal Survival Limits for Many Fish Species by 2070, Study Finds
Anthropogenic climate warming could lead to water temperatures in some parts of the world exceeding the thermal survival limits of the fish species living there now, according to new research from the...
Extreme Heatwaves With “Apparent Temperatures” As High As 55° Celsius To Regularly Affect Much Of World (With 4° Celsius Of Warming Over Pre-Industrial Levels)
If global temperatures rise 4° Celsius over pre-industrial levels, then extreme heatwaves with “apparent temperatures” peaking at over 55° Celsius will begin to regularly affect many densely populated parts of the world,...
2° Celsius Rise In Global Temperature Is Climate Change “Best Case Scenario”
2 degrees Celsius has become the catchphrase that people around the world use when talking about climate change and how much average global temperatures will rise by the end of this century....
Temperatures Have Risen Rapidly In The Pyrenees In Recent Decades, Research Shows
Temperatures in the Pyrenees mountain range have been climbing particularly rapidly in recent decades — with maximum temperatures there rising by more than half a degree Celsius by decade from 1970 to...
Panasonic HIT Solar Panel Sets New Record For High Temperature Efficiency
When we think of solar panel efficiency, we usually think in terms of how much of the sunlight hitting the panel gets converted into electricity. Output efficiency is normally computed by laboratory...
Temperature Increase To Exceed 1.5° Celsius “Barrier” By 2026–2031, Research Finds
If the Interdecadal Pacific Oscillation (IPO) hasn’t yet moved into a positive phase, though, the 1.5° Celsius threshold will still be passed by 2031 or so, according to the research.
I put “barrier”...
NOAA Reports Disturbing New Global Temperature Record Set In March
A new global temperature mark has been set. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration tracks global surface temperatures and categorizes them by the presence or absence of influence by an El Niño...
Sydney Air Pollution Alert Issued as Temperature Heads to 38C
An air pollution alert has been issued for Sydney residents due to a high level of ozone, already exceeding government standards for the entire year.
The NSW Office of Environment and Heritage put...
