This article documents events, research findings, scientific and technological advances, and human actions to measure, predict, mitigate, and adapt to the effects of global warming and climate change—during the year 2024.
[2] [24] The IPCC also stated that it did not change the broad picture of man-made climate change. [2] [12] This was confirmed by Wilfried Haeberli, who announced the latest annual results of the World Glacier Monitoring Service. He stated that the important trend of 10 years or so showed "an unbroken acceleration in melting" and on expected ...
We have a useful cheat sheet on citations for IPCC reports. These reports are some of the best available about solutions to limit climate change, not just about the causes and effects of warming. The most recent is the Sixth Assessment Report (2021-2023). The more of this report that we can get into Wikipedia, the better.
The total economic impacts from climate change are difficult to estimate. In general, they increase the more the global surface temperature increases (see climate change scenarios). [3] Many effects of climate change are linked to market transactions and therefore directly affect metrics like GDP or inflation.
Climate change is making heat waves more intense, potentially leading to a higher risk of heat stroke. The effects of climate change on human health are profound because they increase heat-related illnesses and deaths, respiratory diseases, and the spread of infectious diseases. There is widespread agreement among researchers, health ...
Minority neighborhoods where residents were long denied home loans have twice as many oil and gas wells as mostly white The post Study: Redlining tied to more oil, gas wells in urban areas ...
This practice, known as redlining, was eventually made illegal in 1968 – and its long-term ramifications continue to be felt today. The historic disinvestment has been linked with modern-day ...
For example, climatologist Kevin E. Trenberth has published widely on the topic of climate variability and has exposed flaws in the publications of other scientists. [6] [7] [8] For past debates and controversies on scientific details see for example: History of climate change science#Discredited theories and reconciled apparent discrepancies ...
