BClimate change could cause“irreversible(不可逆的)damage" to the world's most precious ancient monu-ments(古迹) and other cultural sites,experts warned onSaturday as they pushed for the United Nations (UN)protection for major global sites.Academics gathered in Athens for a meeting on thethreats...
We looked up more information and told them that, yes, it was serious but we could do something about it. Then we showed them even more photos, videos, and reports on how climate change would be irreversible if everything didn’t change right away (I’m paraphrasing… that was the take...
Climate scientists are often accused of making alarming assertions about climate change, like "the impacts will be catastrophic by 2030" or "we only have a decade left to save the planet." First and foremost, scientists are not predicting this. However, some politicians and mediaheadlineshave us...
Climate change — forecasted, irreversible, and pervasive — might therefore be called a "worrying problem." Here, "worrying" does not mean "concerning" (though it is that as well), but rather something tailor-made for worry. Its effects exist primarily in the imagination and have poorly ...
climate change are now occurring loss of sea ice, accelerated water level rise and longer, more intense heat waves. In each of our nine cases, the extent of physical climate risk increases by 2030 and further by 2050. Across our cases, we discover increases in socioeconomic impact of ...
2, indicating climate change is "unequivocally" caused by human activity, while outlining options still available to limits its impacts. The so-called synthesis report at 116 pages combines information released earlier this year by working groups focusing on the science behind the reports, the ...
Amen. This change would be good for taxpayers and good for the environment. When I issued myEighteenth Theorem of Government, I was mostly thinking about thepreening nitwits in the British royal familyand thehypocrites in who go to Davos. ...
This univocity along the time direction appears to be a tipping point property, as once a tipping point is reached, the system undergoes an irreversible state change. This paper aims to investigate whether TR has the potential to offer insight into the process of climate change and its ...
While limiting warming will be necessary to preserve Earth's ability to support life in the future, there are certain changes already baked into the system which are irreversible on century time scales. Even if we were to stop warming today, the seas will keep rising and ...
Celeste Saulo, the WMO's secretary-general, said the world has never been closer to the 1.5 C temperature rise set out in the Paris Agreement as the point at which any rise would become irreversible. “Climate change is about much more than temperatures,“ she added. “What we witnessed ...
