Scientists widely believe that global warming is one of the main contributing factors. According to the report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), global temperatures have already risen by about one degree Celsius, and even if the goals of the Paris Agreement are achieved, gl...
there was no real snow where he lived. He saw the snow in a picture book. The book had lots of pictures of children playing in big white fields. He asked his mother, ‘What are those white fields?’, and his mother laughed and said, ‘That’s snow!’ ...

There’s been extensive research investigating the impact of 2 °C of warming, but 1.5 °C hadn’t been looked at in detail. “The 1.5 °C global warming target caught many scientists off guard,” says Dann Mitchell, a climate scientist at the University of Bristol, UK, who ...
“France’s two largest glaciers have both lost 800m of their lengths over the past 30 years” Many places mentioned in the IPCC report will seem remote to some people, but the Mer de Glace and nearby Argentière glacier are in the heart of Europe, next to Chamonix, a ...
are promising in their technology readiness level, these projects alone cannot address the globe’s carbon removal needs. The need for complementary technologies that use less energy and can scale is why many climate technologists and researchers are looking for ways to harness natural processe...
(IPCC,2012, p. 5), or the ability of individuals and communities to withstand, adapt to, and recover from the adverse impacts of climate change (Ngare et al.2022; Mahmood et al.2021; Shirgir et al.2019). The frameworks of climate change adaptation and resilience are critically important...
there is strong agreement on the issue among scientists on the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the IPCC. 政府间气候变化专门委员会(IPCC)的科学家们在这个问题上达成了强烈共识。 So, what percentage of the world’s scientific community agree that climate change is real? 那么,全球科学家中...
In 2021, theIntergovernmental Panel on Climate Change(IPCC) released an up-to-date understanding of the physics behind climate change. The report confirmed that climate change is widespread, rapid, and intensifying. Now, in 2022, the IPCC has released asecond reportdescribing the impacts of climat...
Water vapor is more difficult to measure than the other greenhouse gases and scientists are uncertain as to the exact part that it plays in global warming. Scientists believe there is a correlation between the increase of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere and the increase of water vapor. The NOA...
