Surveys have shown [vague] climate change is a matter of concern for most Puerto Ricans. [4] The territory has enacted laws and policies concerning climate change mitigation and adaptation, including the use of renewable ...

The Atlantic hurricane season runs from June to November, but Beryl, this season's first hurricane, was the earliest on record to surge to a Category 5, as human-caused climate change causes ...
Atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO 2) concentrations from 1958 to 2023. The Keeling Curve is a graph of the annual variation and overall accumulation of carbon dioxide in the Earth's atmosphere based on continuous measurements taken at the Mauna Loa Observatory on the island of Hawaii from 1958 to the present day.
The chart at right attributes anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions to eight main economic sectors, of which the largest contributors are power stations (many of which burn coal or other fossil fuels), industrial processes, transportation fuels (generally fossil fuels), and agricultural by-products (mainly methane from enteric fermentation and ...
