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 ...
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 ...
Drivers, processes, and impacts of sinking cities [1]. Sinking cities are urban environments that are in danger of disappearing due to their rapidly changing landscapes.The largest contributors to these cities becoming unlivable are the combined effects of climate change (manifested through sea level rise, intensifying storms, and storm surge), land subsidence, and accelerated urbanization.

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.
Oxygen levels around 20% — about the same concentration as in Earth's atmosphere — have been measured deep inside some of Berkeley's gas wells, indicating a leak or malfunction, according to ...
