Berkeley Earth is a Berkeley, California-based independent 501(c)(3) non-profit focused on land temperature data analysis for climate science.Berkeley Earth was founded in early 2010 (originally called the Berkeley Earth Surface Temperature project) to address the major concerns from outside the scientific community regarding global warming and the instrumental temperature record.
C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group is a group of 96 cities that represents one twelfth of the world's population and one quarter of the global economy. [82] Created and led by cities, C40 is focused on fighting the climate crisis and driving urban action that reduces greenhouse gas emissions and climate risks , while increasing the health ...
The upcoming climate talks in Paris have generated a lot of buzz lately. Multiple large organizations are coming out with reports on the climate's future impact on humans, and the general ...
The global average sea level has risen about 250 millimetres (9.8 in) since 1880, [42] increasing the elevation on top of which other types of flooding (high-tide flooding, storm surge) occur. Many coastal cities will experience coastal flooding in the coming decades and beyond.
Researchers from Ohio State University point out a key glacier in Antarctica could be melting soon -- and would cause sea levels to rise worldwide.
"With the warming temperatures in the ocean, we're going to have variations in weather that we're not used to or we're gonna be pushing the envelope beyond what has been normal in the past."
A 2020 study reports that by 2050 global warming could be spreading in the deep ocean seven times faster than it is now, even if emissions of greenhouse gases are cut. Warming in mesopelagic and deeper layers could have major consequences for the deep ocean food web, since ocean species will need to move to stay at survival temperatures. [69] [70]
The rate Earth is warming hit an all-time high in 2023 with 92% of last year's surprising record-shattering heat caused by humans, top scientists calculated. The group of 57 scientists from around ...
