The next day, Alexandrovskoe and Laryak reached record high temperatures of 36.1 °C (97.0 °F) and 34.9 °C (94.8 °F) respectively. [61] On 7 June, multiple all-time heat records were broken in Siberia, with Baevo reaching 39.6 °C (103.3 °F) and Barnaul reaching 38.5 °C (101.3 °F).
[3]: 1494 For instance, coral reefs support 1.5 million fishers in the Indian Ocean and 3.35 million in the Southeast Asia, yet they are highly vulnerable to even low-emission climate change. [3]: 1479 Southeast Asia may lose around 30% of its aquaculture area and 10-20% of production by 2050-2070.
From 1993 to 2008, the sea level in the Gulf of Thailand has risen 3–5 mm per year, compared to the global average of 1.7 mm per year. [5] Danny Marks, professor and climate consultant for the Rockefeller Foundation , has warned that "Climate change is set to drastically affect the world, and Thailand will likely be one of the most affected ...
[1]: 1 Extreme rainfall events may deposit up to 32% more rain in 2090. In 2010, around 130,000 people in the country were exposed to potential 1-in-25-year flood events. Under high emissions, this will increase to 200,000 by 2030. Even in low emission scenarios, 1-in-100-year events are expected to become 1-in-25-year occurrences.
As part of this plan, Singapore has implemented Southeast Asian's first carbon tax on 1 January 2019, setting the carbon tax at S$5/tCO 2 e for the first five years from 2019 to 2023. With effect from 2024, the carbon tax was raised to S$25/tCO 2 e with a targeted raise to S$45/tCO 2 e in 2026 and 2027 and S$50-80/tCO 2 e by 2030. [ 5 ]
One of the hotter periods was the Last Interglacial, around 125,000 years ago, where temperatures were between 0.5 °C and 1.5 °C warmer than before the start of global warming. [40] This period saw sea levels 5 to 10 metres higher than today.
A positive IOD is associated with droughts in Southeast Asia [10], [11] and Australia. Extreme positive-IOD events are expected. [12]A 2009 study by Ummenhofer et al. at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) Climate Change Research Centre has demonstrated a significant correlation between the IOD and drought in the southern half of Australia, in particular the south-east.
As a regional organization, Greenpeace Southeast Asia focuses on bearing witness to the impacts brought by global warming, and increasing public awareness of the problems it poses. Campaigning to effect changes in the direction of the region's energy policies for the future, the group encourages governments to turn away from fossil fuel ...
