MORE: Why climate change can't be blamed entirely for the Maui wildfires The Scripps Institution of Oceanography has established a monitoring site in Launiupoko, just south of Lahaina and adjacent to the dump site where they are putting the wildfire debris, following concern expre...
But the coming physical climate risk is ever-changing and nonstationary. Replacing a stable environment with one of constant change means that decision making based on experience may prove unreliable. For example, long-accepted engineering parameters for infrastructure design may need to be rethought;...
As climate change induces more volatile flooding events and long-term sea level rises, it is estimated that coastal flooding could cause as much as $1 trillion of damage per year by 2050. We cannot escape the reality that cities, and their populations, are more vulner...
long decline in working hours has gone into reverse in America but not elsewhere (though Britain shows signs of following America's lead). Perhaps cultural differences-the last refuge of the defeated economist-are at play. Economists used to believe that once workers earned enough to provide for...
If the part of the world you live in has cold winters with lots of snow, that would be part of the climate for the region you live in. The winters there have been cold and snowy for as long as weather has been recorded, so we know generally what to expect. It's important to ...

Everyone is so consumed with work, family and play, that most aren't aware of the convergence of events that are occurring as we speak.. a long list of atmospheric activities that are causing climate change, resulting in these worldwide catastrophic weather events. ...
Climate change adaptation: climate change is real, already occurring and getting worse. How can geomatics assist in monitoring, mitigation and remediation?Longhorn, Roger
Human-induced climate change? According to WMO, naturally occurring climate events are viewed as happening because of "human-induced climate change," leading to global temperatures and extreme weather conditions. "The worsening drought in the Horn of Africa and southern South America bear the hallmark...
