More greenhouse gases in the atmosphere cause global average temperatures to go up over time. Gases like carbon dioxide are also absorbed into the ocean. This makes the ocean temperature rise. It can also make the ocean more ...
Beyond extreme weather, pushing global average temperatures past 1.5 C would have serious impacts on sea-level rise, and could possibly start triggering climate tipping points, such as the irreversible melt of the Arctic permafrost or a change in...
Gore's comments follow the the hottest year on record for the world's oceans, the second-hottest year for global average temperatures, and wildfires from the U.S. to the Amazon to Australia. 'Foolish fortune tellers' This year's WEF in the Swiss Alpine town of Davos is focusing on clima...
Many experts have pointed to climate change as part of the reason for the catastrophic events, echoing past warnings that global warming will undoubtedly fuel extreme weather. KCBS meteorologist Evelyn Taft told CBS News on Monday that the stark contrast in temperatures of the Northeast and Eastern ...
Consequently, in this paper, we focus on 33 historic and cultural districts within Beijing's old city, along with seven proposed historic and cultural districts, to retrieve land surface temperatures (LST) using Landsat remote sensing data and radiative transfer equations. A spatiotemporal ...
Our study contributes to a still nascent literature on public opinion about climate-related foreign aid– an outcome of growing substantive concern as poor countries face droughts, rising sea levels, extreme temperatures, and intense storms, all of which increase levels of collective misery in an in...
a Projected warming of global mean surface air-temperatures from the 1986–2005 to the 2081–2100 periods (K). b Projected compatible carbon emissions from 2012 to 2100 (1000 PgC). The CMIP5 ensemble is used in Assessment Report 5 of the IPCC (Flato et al. 2013). The WASP (simulation...
The average global temperature has increased by almost 0.5 centigrade degrees over the past century; scientists expect it to rise by extra 1-3 degrees over the next 100 years. Warmer weather makes glaciersmelt adding more water to the ocean. The warmer temperatures also make water expand so it...
(Fig.3c–e). The results indicate that the influence of CO2on photosynthesis at high latitudes is limited due to low temperatures. Estimates of the long-term change in GPP from the updated RS approaches show large changes, particularly in areas of intensive agriculture such as the midwestern ...
