Like all powerful ideas, climate change can be deceptively simple to define and yet subject to a multiplicity of cultural meanings and technical interpretations. Most cultures have evolved mythological accounts to explain the vicissitudes of climate, while the newly quantitative climatologists from the ...
Both start with the realities of the 2020s, meaning that the energy system and future energy policy landscape are showing real signs of change, but also recognising that there is little in place on the scale required to reduce emissions substantially by 2030. As time moves on into the 2030s...
SamOK, Neil, I’ll reveal the answer later in the programme. Since climate change is caused by human activities, it seems common sense that fewer people would mean lower carbon emissions. But in fact the connection isn’t so simple. Not everyone emits carbon equally, and people in the west...
Ⅱ.阅读理解主题:电动汽车 关注指数:★★★The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change re-leased a report stating that the world is quickly running out of time to keep global warming below 1. 5 degrees Celsius. To get there, the world would have to cut cur-rent emissions by 45 percent...
1) Water (which can gain/lose a huge amount of heat with a gradual temperature change) and 2) Ice. Ice, in my view, is the biggest climate regulator because it can do two things: 1) In the process of melting and freezing, heat is latent or “hidden”. Meaning it does not contribu...
Current flood risk mapping, relying on historical observations, fails to account for increasing threat under climate change. Incorporating recent developments in inundation modelling, here we show a 26.4% (24.1–29.1%) increase in US flood risk by 2050 d

During the past 50 years, average U.S. temperatures have risen by 1.5 degrees Fahrenheit. This change is due to human activity, most notably from the rise in greenhouse gas emissions such as carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide. During the 50-year period before that, there was no ne...
