0.05°C: India’s global warming share trails US & China, but the heat is on

India's contribution to global warming is less than major emitters like the US and China. Research shows India's warming contribution has significantly increased after 1990. Carbon dioxide from fossil fuels drives most of India's emissions. Agriculture contributes significantly through methane and nitrous oxide gases. India faces severe consequences despite its…

Yes, passing 1.5 C of global warming is cause for alarm, but not despair

The news has been full of headlines about findings from a United Nations report: the world is set to exceed the 1.5 C global warming target set out in the 2015 Paris Agreement. The report has raised concerns and questions about what a 1.5 C increase could mean for our…

Africa gets only 23% of the climate finance it needs – and pays too much for it

African countries have committed themselves to cutting greenhouse gas emissions and protecting their people from the worsening effects of climate change. These commitments form part of the Paris Agreement, an international climate treaty adopted in 2015 in which countries agreed to take steps to limit global warming.

As global heating heads to 1.8C, is it time to consider the ‘Voldemort’ of climate policy?

The world is set to miss the 1.5°C global warming target, and plans are underway for UN climate talks in the Pacific and Turkey.

Earth is set to cross 1.5°C — does the climate clock stop there? The UN has a plan for what happens if temperatures overshoot the crucial threshold

Global warming exceeding 1.5°C is now likely, according to a United Nations assessment. The focus must shift to limiting temperature overshoot and its duration. Every fraction of a degree above this threshold increases climate risks significantly. Even optimistic scenarios project warming peaks around 1.8°C before potential decline. Reducing emissions and…

UN warns global warming will exceed 1.5C and must be reversed

Warming is projected to peak around 1.8C in the best-case scenario. This necessitates a new goal of "overshoot, peak and decline" for climate change. Cutting greenhouse gas pollution and removing carbon dioxide are crucial steps. Countries with greater historical responsibility must lead these urgent efforts.

World set to breach 1.5C climate limit as UN urges rapid reversal

Global warming is set to cross the 1.5C limit within the next few years, exposing people and ecosystems to more severe climate damage, the UN's environmental agency said on Wednesday. But temperatures could eventually be brought back down if emissions fall sharply and carbon dioxide is removed from the atmosphere.

Melting Himalayas? Nepal disaster exposes growing risk of glacial flooding

It may well be one of the tragic consequences of global warming. Scientists will tell us whether receding glaciers are to blame for last Wednesday’s ice shelf collapse that triggered a catastrophic flood, cascading down more than 3,000 metres from the Chinese border into Nepal.

In 1989, a 185-page California climate report warned that a warming would slash the state's spring runoff by a full third. 30 years later, its warnings proved right, with mountain snow cover falling by half as droughts, floods and fires worsened

California received climate change warnings thirty years ago. These projections accurately predicted droughts, floods, and heat waves. The state's ambitious efforts to address global warming began then. Many regret the slow societal response to these warnings. Observed impacts now confirm past scientific assessments.

The pace of climate change matters more than overall heat in the race to save key Atlantic currents, study finds

The rate of global warming, rather than the extra heat itself, could determine whether a system of ocean currents known as the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation will cross a tipping point, new research suggests.

Something is thawing beneath Alaska — and the price tag could be $43 trillion

Alaska's tundra holds immense frozen carbon stores which are thawing. This thaw releases greenhouse gases, potentially causing significant global economic damage. Researchers estimate this damage could reach forty-three trillion dollars by the year 2200. Such emissions contribute to further global warming and widespread climate impacts. Reducing greenhouse gas emissions can…
