Turbulence is getting worse because of climate change, study proves as it finds serious injuries have doubled since the 1980s

Air turbulence is getting worse on flights because of climate change, with the jetstream becoming choppier since the end of 1970s, scientist

Los científicos han descubierto que la turbulencia del aire está empeorando en los vuelos debido al cambio climático, y la corriente en chorro se ha vuelto más agitada desde fines de la década de 1970. La Universidad de Reading descubrió que la corriente en chorro se ha visto un 15% más afectada por la cizalladura del viento en la atmósfera superior sobre el Atlántico Norte desde que los satélites comenzaron a observarla en 1979.

The University of Reading has discovered that the jetstream has become 15 per cent more affected by wind shear in the upper atmosphere over the North Atlantic since satellites began observing it in 1979.

Greenland Is Melting Away Before Our Eyes

“I have my fingers crossed for it not being washed away”

Amid an ongoing heat wave, new data show the Greenland ice sheet is in the middle of its biggest melt season in recorded history. It’s the latest worrying signal climate change is accelerating far beyond the worst fears of even climate scientists.

El año 2018 fue el cuarto año más cálido registrado de la Tierra, después del 2016, el año más cálido registrado en el planeta, así como 2015 y 2017, según la información publicada por la NOAA, la NASA y la Oficina Met de U.K. Por qué es importante: las clasificaciones anuales no cuentan toda la historia del cambio climático a largo plazo, ya que la variabilidad natural aún puede impulsar o elevar un año individual hacia arriba o hacia abajo en las clasificaciones. Sin embargo, el panorama general se vuelve más marcado con cada año que pasa. Nueve de los 10 años más cálidos registrados desde que comenzaron los datos confiables en 1880 desde 2005. Al mismo tiempo, los gases de efecto invernadero provenientes de la quema de combustibles fósiles, así como la deforestación y la agricultura intensiva, se han disparado a niveles nunca antes vistos 800.000 años. #greenforcepartners #greenforce #clima #climate #cambioclimatico #climatechange #crisisclimatica #climatecrisis #climateemergency #emergenciaclimatica (at Green Force Partners) https://www.instagram.com/p/By2mfa4H77L/?igshid=1aqwf06oovjrm

PARA EL MEDIO OESTE, LA INUNDACIÓN ÉPICA ES LA CARA DEL CAMBIO CLIMÁTICO. FIERCE STORMS habló en el centro de los EE. UU. Esta semana, desatando cientos de tornados poderosos que abrieron un camino de destrucción en partes de Missouri y Oklahoma el miércoles por la noche y dejaron al menos tres muertos. Mientras que lo peor de los vientos violentos ha pasado, la región ahora se está preparando para una inundación masiva, luego de cantidades récord de lluvia producidas por el sistema de clima severo y se esperan más durante el fin de semana. Y está llegando a los 12 meses más húmedos que Estados Unidos ha visto desde que comenzó el registro en 1895. #greenforcepartners #greenforce #clima #climate #cambioclimatico #climatechange #crisisclimatica #climatecrisis #emergenciaclimatica #climateemergency (at Green Force Partners) https://www.instagram.com/p/By2lr7TnK65/?igshid=1endl6pw9pwgg

Cuando se trata de discutir el cambio climático, las personas mayores pueden tener una ventaja: han visto cómo sucede. En los nueve estados del noreste, por ejemplo, donde las temperaturas promedio de invierno subieron 3.8 grados Fahrenheit entre 1970 y 2000, han visto menos días cubiertos de nieve y más arbustos floreciendo cada vez más y han experimentado veranos más calurosos. #greenforcepartners #greenforce #clima #climate #climatechange #cambioclimatico #crisisclimatica #climatecrisis (at Green Force Partners) https://www.instagram.com/p/By2k-xgHf9Q/?igshid=1g9auuo5nlk3d

El riesgo que plantea el aumento de los mares puede ser incluso más grave de lo que pensábamos. Un nuevo y provocativo estudio sugiere que a medida que el clima de la Tierra continúa calentándose y las capas de hielo del planeta continúan derritiéndose, los mares podrían inundar las ciudades costeras de todo el mundo, sumergiendo vastas extensiones de tierra y desplazando a casi 200 millones de personas a finales de siglo. #greenforcepartners #greenforce #climate #clima #climatechange #cambioclimatico #climatechangecrisis #crisisclimatica #green #cleanair #cleanwaters #aire #agua #air #water #climateemergency #emergenciaclimatica (at Green Force Partners) https://www.instagram.com/p/By2i-3rnEGt/?igshid=cv26cdgfxnvj

Climate change visualized: How Earth's temperature has changed since 1970

The overall picture is growing starker with each passing year.

2018 was Earth's 4th-warmest year on record, coming in behind 2016, the planet's warmest recorded year, as well as 2015 and 2017, according to information released by NOAA, NASA and the U.K. Met Office.Why it matters: The yearly rankings don't tell the whole story of long-term climate change, since natural variability can still push or pull an individual year up or down the rankings. However, the overall picture is growing starker with each passing year. Nine of the 10 warmest years on record since reliable data began in 1880 have occurred since 2005. At the same time, greenhouse gases from the burning of fossil fuels — as well as deforestation and intensive agriculture — have skyrocketed to levels not seen in more than 800,000 years.

Causes of Global Warming

Human influence is rapidly changing the climate.

The average temperature of the Earth is rising at nearly twice the rate it was 50 years ago. This rapid warming trend cannot be explained by natural cycles alone, scientists have concluded. The only way to explain the pattern is to include the effect of greenhouse gases (GHGs) emitted by humans. Current levels of the greenhouse gases carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide in our atmosphere are higher than at any point over the past 800,000 years, and their ability to trap heat is changing our climate in multiple ways.

A group of scientists has written to the top 100 wealthiest charitable bodies and families to request funding.

They say efforts to tackle what they call the ecological crisis are "desperately under-funded".

The authors believe that less than 3% of philanthropic funding goes towards climate-related issues.

We have less time than you think to jump-start climate action

Countries have just one year to step forward with bigger, bolder commitments that respond to the scale of the climate crisis, Helen Mountfor

countless young people will flood the streets of the world's major cities, demanding action to tackle climate change. The global movement stems from the stark reality that the window to addressing this emergency is closing. At the front of these demonstrations, there is frequently a banner warning that there are just "12 years to save the Earth."

Rising sea levels could swamp major cities and displace almost 200 million people, scientists say

With a “business as usual” approach to carbon emissions, the world's oceans could plausibly rise two meters by the end of the century.

The risk posed by rising seas may be even more dire than we thought.

A provocative new study suggests that as Earth’s climate continues to warm and the planet’s ice sheets continue to melt, seas could inundate coastal cities around the world, submerging vast swaths of land and displacing almost 200 million people by the end of the century.

Los individuos y las corporaciones de todo el mundo están reconociendo la importancia de reducir sus emisiones de GEI. Como resultado, muchos de ellos están reduciendo sus huellas de carbono a través de la eficiencia energética y otras medidas. Sin embargo, con frecuencia, es demasiado costoso para estas entidades cumplir con sus objetivos o eliminar su huella de carbono completamente con reducciones internas, y necesitan un mecanismo para lograr estos objetivos aspiracionales.

Verified Carbon Standard - Verra

The world’s most widely used voluntary GHG program. Through carbon markets, entities can neutralize, or offset, their emissions by retiring

Individuals and corporations around the world are recognizing the importance of reducing their GHG emissions. As a result, many of them are reducing their carbon footprints through energy efficiency and other measures. Quite often, however, it is too expensive for these entities to meet their targets or eliminate their carbon footprint entirely with internal reductions, and they need a mechanism to achieve these aspirational goals. Enter the carbon markets.
