NOAA:Geographical distribution of notable climate anomalies and events occurring around the world in 2015


NOAA:Geographical distribution of notable climate anomalies and events occurring around the world in 2015

State of the Climate An international, peer-reviewed publication released each summer, the State of the Climate is the authoritative annual summary of the global climate published as a supplement to the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society. The report, compiled by NOAA’s Center for Weather and Climate at the National Centers for Environmental Information is based on contributions from scientists from around the world. It provides a detailed update on global climate indicators, notable weather events, and other data collected by environmental monitoring stations and instruments located on land, water, ice, and in space


World Bank Deuce - Pacific Possible: Climate Change



New report, Pacific Possible: Climate Change & Disaster Resilience – which looks at the potential impact of a changing climate on the Pacific Island region

The Pacific region is known to be one of the most exposed to natural hazards and climate change in the world. Pacific Island Countries (PICs) are exposed to a wide variety of natural hazards, including cyclones, droughts, earthquakes, electrical storms, extreme winds, floods, landslides, storm surges, tsunami and volcanic eruptions. Some of these hazards will be exacerbated by climate change. 

Average ocean and land temperatures are increasing, and the seasonality and duration of rainfall is changing. Over the coming decades, tropical cyclones are expected to increase in intensity, though not necessarily in frequency, and to move closer to the equator. Because of higher ocean temperature and ice sheet melt, sea level is rising, thereby worsening coastal erosion and saline intrusion and increasing the severity of storm surges. 

All these impacts adversely affects agriculture, fisheries, coastal zones, water resources, health, and ecosystems and thus threaten entire communities and economies. The mere existence of low-lying atoll island nations like Kiribati, Tuvalu and RMI is threatened by sea level rise and storm surges, since they are only 1-3m above sea level.

Skymining Double Shot



2nd time this week I'm hearing about this kind of technology. does it make it feasible
Creating a clean copy of fossil fuels.
SkyMining is powered by two feats of engineering. One is evolutionary and took millions of years to perfect; the other is a patented technology that converts captured CO2 into clean fuel.

From 2012 Gwynne Dyer - Climate Wars: The Fight for Survival as the World Overheats



Journalist and historian in war studies Gwynne Dyer discusses his book "Climate Wars: The Fight for Survival as the World Overheats," presented by Harvard Book Store. Dyer explores the cultural and political ramifications of climate change, such as dwindling resources, population shifts, natural disasters, epidemics, crashing economies, and political extremism

For the last 25 years, the GLOBE™ Series has been at the forefront of new ideas and vital insights on business and sustainability. We have helped corporations embed sustainability into their operations, influenced the global debate on climate change, and accelerated the market for clean technologies and services.

Sea Level Rise: What It's Already Done and Where It's Headed

Forward projections indicate a very likely 21st century GSL rise of 52–131 cm under RCP 8.5 and 24–61 cm under RCP 2.6, values that provide greater consistency with process model-based projections preferred by AR5 than previous semiempirical projections
Sea Level 101 Global warming has raised global sea level about 8 inches since 1880, and the rate of rise is accelerating. Rising seas dramatically increase the odds of damaging floods from storm surges. A Climate Central analysis finds that sea level rise from warming has already doubled the odds of "century" or worse floods over widespread areas of the U.S., and the problem is growing by the decade.These increases threaten an enormous amount of damage. Across the country, nearly 5 million people live in 2.6 million homes at less than 4 feet above high tide — a level lower than the century flood line for most locations analyzed. And compounding this risk, scientists expect roughly 2 to 5 more feet of sea level rise this century — a lot depending upon how much more heat-trapping pollution humanity puts into the sky.
Climate Central’s Program on Sea Level Rise strives to provide accurate, clear and granular information about sea level rise and coastal flood hazards both locally and globally, today and tomorrow. Anchored in rigorous primary research, our work distinguishes itself by its user-friendly maps and tools, extensive datasets, and high-quality visual presentation. The program dedicates its efforts to helping citizens, communities, businesses, organizations, and governments at every level to understand the consequences of different carbon pathways and to navigate the shifting waters of our warming world.
