The pathways describe different climate change scenarios, all of which were considered possible depending on the amount of greenhouse gases (GHG) emitted in the years to come. The four RCPs – originally RCP2.6, RCP4.5, RCP6, and RCP8.5 – are labelled after the expected changes in radiative forcing values from the year 1750 [ 1 ] [ 2 ] to ...
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.
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 ...
Redlining Louisville: Racial Capitalism and Real Estate, a project by the Louisville Metro Government, offers an interactive map showing the impact of redlining and racial covenants. It includes maps, narratives, and data sets that illustrate the long-term effects of these discriminatory practices.
Some climate change effects: wildfire caused by heat and dryness, bleached coral caused by ocean acidification and heating, environmental migration caused by desertification, and coastal flooding caused by storms and sea level rise. Effects of climate change are well documented and growing for Earth's natural environment and human societies. Changes to the climate system include an overall ...
One might assume that redlining and deed restrictions are a thing of the past, so their effect on the Tower probably waned long ago; however, while racial deed covenants were deemed federally ...
We know all too well the systemic roadblocks people of color, and particularly Black Americans, face in realizing the dream of homeownership. | Op-ed by T’wina Nobles and Maureen Fife
Many climate change impacts have been observed in the first decades of the 21st century, with 2024 the warmest on record at +1.60 °C (2.88 °F) since regular tracking began in 1850. [ 19 ] [ 20 ] Additional warming will increase these impacts and can trigger tipping points , such as melting all of the Greenland ice sheet . [ 21 ]
