UN: Global Urgency as Climate Collapse Sparks Action
A Grim Reality Unfolds: Climate Collapse in Real Time
In a stark revelation, the UN World Meteorological Organization (WMO) has issued a provisional report indicating that 2023 is poised to break records as the warmest year ever recorded. Global temperatures have surged 1.4 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, setting off alarm bells for the planet's future. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres emphasized the urgency of the situation, asserting that the world is in a race against time to maintain the 1.5-degree limit established by global leaders in the 2015 Paris Agreement. Guterres, in a video statement released during the opening of this year's annual UN climate talks, solemnly declared, "We are living through climate collapse in real-time – and the impact is devastating."
Witnessing the Unraveling: Melting Glaciers and Rising Seas
Mr. Guterres recently visited climate hotspots in Antarctica and Nepal, where he personally observed record-low sea ice and the startling recession of glaciers. The WMO's report disclosed a staggering one million square kilometers less Antarctic sea ice than the previous record low, signaling a concerning trend. Glaciers in western North America and the European Alps faced an "extreme melt season," contributing to rising sea levels. The report underscores the continued warming of oceans and the ongoing meltdown of glaciers and ice sheets, leading to unprecedented sea level rise.
Climbing Greenhouse Gas Levels: A Ticking Time Bomb
Simultaneously, concentrations of heat-trapping greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide reached record highs in 2022 and continued to escalate in 2023. Carbon dioxide levels, in particular, stand at a daunting 50% above pre-industrial levels, with the WMO emphasizing the long-lasting impact, predicting a sustained rise in temperatures for years to come. WMO Chief Petteri Taalas urged immediate action, stating, "These are more than just statistics," and emphasized the need to limit the risks of an increasingly inhospitable climate in the coming centuries.
Dire Consequences on Lives and Livelihoods
The WMO's report paints a harrowing picture of the real-world consequences of climate upheaval. From deadly Cyclone Daniel in Libya to devastating floods in the Horn of Africa and severe smoke pollution from Canada's forest fires, the impacts on lives, health, and livelihoods are evident. Throughout the year, communities worldwide faced food insecurity and displacement due to extreme weather events. UN Secretary-General Guterres stressed the gravity of the situation, stating, "Record global heat should send shivers down the spines of world leaders," urging them to take immediate action.
Roadmap for Change: A Call for Urgent Action
Guterres reiterated his call on countries to triple renewable energy, double energy efficiency, and phase out fossil fuels. Encouragingly, the WMO reported a 10% growth in global renewable energy capacity in the previous year, led by solar and wind power. The UN chief pointed to the existing roadmap to limit global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius, urging governments to set clear expectations for the next round of climate action plans and invest in their implementation.
COP28: A Critical Juncture for Global Climate Action
The 28th Conference of Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP28), held from November 30 to December 12 in Dubai, marks a critical juncture in the fight against climate change. Over 60,000 delegates, including UNFCCC member states, industry leaders, youth activists, and indigenous community representatives, are expected to attend. Global Stocktake: A Temperature Check on Commitments The COP28 conference will feature the first-ever "global stocktake" to assess collective progress in cutting emissions and enhancing adaptation efforts. This stocktake will serve as a 'temperature check' on the world's commitment to the Paris Agreement, with hopes of catalyzing more ambitious and accelerated climate action. Protecting People: Urgent Measures Needed Guterres emphasized the need for countries to go further and faster in protecting people from climate chaos. This includes ensuring universal early warnings against extreme weather by 2027 and establishing a "loss and damage fund" to assist vulnerable communities hit hard by climate disasters. Developed countries are urged to fulfill their promise of delivering $100 billion per year in climate finance, doubling the funding for adaptation efforts. The success of COP28 hinges on countries' willingness to use the global stocktake results as a springboard toward more ambitious climate action. As the world grapples with the looming climate crisis, the outcomes of COP28 will undoubtedly shape the trajectory of our planet's future. Sources: THX News & United Nations. Read the full article

Climate Scientist Ed Hawkins has mapped the global temperature trend from 1850 to 2022. Twitter Thread. “It is the increase of CO2 and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere that is the dominant cause of the warming. The sun has got slightly dimmer overall during the past 50 years when the warming has been most rapid.”

Klimaschutzziele einhaltbar?: Globaltemperatur überschreitet erstmals Zwei-Grad-Marke
Klimaexperten haben einen weiteren Hitze-Rekord gemessen: Die globale Durchschnittstemperatur liegt erstmals mehr als zwei Grad über dem vorindustriellen Niveau zwischen 1850 und 1900. Damit wächst die Sorge, die Pariser Klimaziele nicht einhalten zu können. Weiterlesen…

Extension of Climate Continuum (2020) collaborative project with @organprinter and @brian.barr . I made some test plaster molds with 3D printed designs last summer. A visualization of the climate data became a ceramic piece 🔥 It is not as decent as @hammerlyceramics ‘s awesome mold casting. His molds are perfect 👍 But I got some lessons and will try to make the next one better. #climatecontinuum #datasculpture #globaltemperature #3dprinted #slipcasting (at College of Design @ Iowa State University) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZ2Wh-Ipylv/?utm_medium=tumblr

Climate change, as we all know, has a deep effect on the earth’s biodiversity. And, causes widespread disruption in every sphere of life. Here is a brief overview of what it really means to all of us.

In Gaeta Yesterday it was spring and we should be having winter... I wonder if Trump really wakes up that the world has other pronlems rather than trying to start another war just to be re-elected?!? What is global warming? A: Here's a simple definition of global warming. (And yes, it's really happening.) Over the past 50 years, the average global temperature has increased at the fastest rate in recorded history. And experts see the trend is accelerating: All but one of the 16 hottest years in NASA’s 134-year record have occurred since 2000. Climate change deniers have argued that there has been a “pause” or a “slowdown” in rising global temperatures, but several recent studies, including a 2015 paper published in the journal Science, have disproved this claim. And scientists say that unless we curb global-warming emissions, average U.S. temperatures could increase by up to 10 degrees Fahrenheit over the next century. Q: What causes global warming? A: Global warming occurs when carbon dioxide (CO2) and other air pollutants and greenhouse gases collect in the atmosphere and absorb sunlight and solar radiation that have bounced off the earth’s surface. Normally, this radiation would escape into space—but these pollutants, which can last for years to centuries in the atmosphere, trap the heat and cause the planet to get hotter. That's what's known as the greenhouse effect. In the United States, the burning of fossil fuels to make electricity is the largest source of heat-trapping pollution, producing about two billion tons of CO2 every year. Coal-burning power plants are by far the biggest polluters. The country’s second-largest source of carbon pollution is the transportation sector, which generates about 1.7 billion tons of CO2 emissions a year. Lets start all of us to understand this...
