Low-High range in global temperature increase: +0.6°C to +1.5°C and up The global temperature graph makes it clear that for several years now, average surface temperatures have consistently surpassed 1.5°C above their pre-industrial values. Let’s dig into these time periods a bit more cl...

14,000 years ago (33), sea level rise and tropical temperature increase were nearly synchronous. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (10) assumes negligible contribution to 2100 sea level change from loss of Greenland and Antarctic ice, but that conclusion is implausible (17, 34). BAU ...
There is no doubt that the earth is becoming warmer (see Graph 1) and that it is human activity that has caused this global warming rather than a random but natural phenomenon.All scientists subscribe to the view that the increase in the earth's temperature is due to the burning of fossil...
Notes: Sharing the remaining carbon budget to have 83% chances to stay below 1.5∘C global temperature increase implies an estimated annual GHG per capita emissions near 1.9 tonnes per person per year between 2021 and 2050 (and zero CO2 emissions afterwards). Emission levels present regional per...
Efforts for reducing the loss and restoring biodiversity will need to (1) increase conservation and restoration, (2) increase climate action, (3) increase sustainable production, (4) reduce consumption, and (5) reduce other drivers [26], as shown in the following graph. Recent CBD document CB...
or about a1.39 degreeincrease for doubling of CO2. This can be seen in the blue curve (see enlarged graph below). The result is not much different than the 1.76, but the important point is that as the estimates become more realistic, the predicted temperature does not increase, but decreas...

analyses, we can see that our genomes work well, and in particular for breeds present or closely related to ones used to generate the graph and expanded genome, highlighting the need to increase the genetic diversity that underpins the graph, particularly for lineages that are poorly represented....
