It’s 20 years since we started blogging on climate here on RealClimate (December 10, 2004). We wanted to counter disinformation about climatechange that was spreading through various campaigns. In a nutshell, they are responsible for climatechange, mainly due to an increased greenhouse effect.
Since it was a control simulation with no external “forcing” (no greenhouse gas changes, no variations in solar output, no volcanic eruptions, etc.), At this point prospects for the existence of an internal AMO climate oscillation might be starting to look rather bleak.
Well, back in 1993 (before the more comprehensive critiques had been published), Hoyt and Schatten put together a long-term estimate of solar activity that relied on the SCL, based on the idea from FCL91 and scaled to a finding about cycling and non-cycling stars that turned out to be wrong too (Wright, 2004). 1273-1278, 2004.
But this also raises other questions: 1) Can we expect the season to continue to lengthen as global warming from increasing concentration of globally well mixed greenhouse gas (GWM-GHG) continues to warm the Atlantic SSTs? Li, "Past and Future Hurricane Intensity Change along the U.S. 353-366, 2004. Zhang et al. E303-E322, 2020.
Broecker 1987 who warned about “unpleasant surprises in the greenhouse”. Major abrupt past climatechanges are linked to AMOC instabilities, including Dansgaard-Oeschger-Events and Heinrich Events. Stommel wrote: “The system is inherently frought with possibilities for speculation about climaticchange.”
The fossil fuel lobby meddles with Canadian politics and inserts itself into international climatechange politics and diplomacy. 636 fossil fuel lobbyists were part of official country delegations to the last United Nations climate negotiations ( UN Framework Convention on ClimateChange, and Conference of Parties 27, or COP27 ).
million in Alternative Fuel Incentive Grants (AFIGs) to 18 cleaner fuel transportation projects statewide that will reduce greenhouse gas emissions and other air pollutants. Vehicles alone release 21 percent of carbon dioxide emissions in the state, a known greenhouse gas and direct contributor to climatechange.
Lawson chaired the Arctic Council’s Arctic Marine Shipping Assessment from 2004 to 2009. Join us in t e l l ing the Coast Guard to lead the way on reducing greenhouse gas emissions from ship traffic at the International Maritime Organization and to better prepare for climate-related changes here at home.
Greg Vitali Methane is a powerful greenhouse gas and Pennsylvania’s oil and gas industry is a major methane emitter. Methane reduction is critical in addressing climatechange. Pennsylvania is the second-largest natural gas producing state and its methane emissions have a significant impact on global climatechange.
While the idea of ESG began in 2004 with a United Nations initiative to influence capital in non Western markets, in 2021 the legal and political institutions in the United States and the EU are demanding those ideas be implementing with due haste.
We knew that global greenhouse gases emission from energy had been peaking for the past three years – largely thanks to China – but now, here is another series of nails in the coffins of coal and oil. When I discovered solar photovoltaics in 2004, the global capacity was of three gigawatts (or 3,000 megawatts if you prefer).
Among these, climatechange is becoming more dire every month and global biodiversity is collapsing right in front of our eyes. It details 80 (+ 20) ways to slash global greenhouse gases emissions and achieve emissions levels that can be absorbed by Nature. But what if we could turn these tides around ?
She has been organizing in climate work since 2019 when she founded the Philadelphia Youth Climate Movement at the age of 16. She has been driven because of the effects of climatechange in her family home of Bangladesh which has been greatly affected by climatechange.
Each month, Arnold & Porter and the Sabin Center for ClimateChange Law collect and summarize developments in climate-related litigation, which we also add to our U.S. climate litigation charts.

Candidate in the Department of Fish, Wildlife and Conservation Biology and the Graduate Degree Program in Ecology at Colorado State University Polar bears have become the global bellwether of climatechange: a symbol for an impending catastrophe that will forever change the natural world as we know it.
Through the IRA, there are also many opportunities for climatechange mitigation through cleaner vehicles, homes that are more energy efficient, and reductions in greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane. DEP’s work has been guided, in part, by an Environmental Justice Policy adopted in 2004.
Candidate in the Department of Soil and Crop Sciences and Trainee in the CSU InTERFEWS Program What if agriculture – a sector responsible for more than a fifth of total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions 1 – was actually capable of storing more CO 2 than it emits? By the time Barry took over the farm in 2004, soils were dusty and depleted.
The Alternative Energy Portfolio Standard (AEPS), which would be updated under the Governor’s PRESS plan, is a 2004 Pennsylvania law requiring electricity suppliers to include specific percentages of renewable energy in their supply, in turn creating increased demand for renewable energy. “We

This environmentally friendly laptop from Iameco was manufactured while decreasing greenhouse gas emissions by 30%, re-using 70% of the material, and reducing fresh water utilisation by 75%. The single most important issue facing modern humanity is climatechange. The key to tackling climatechange is both macro and micro.
Exxon has also been accused of covering up clear evidence of climatechange discovered by its scientists as early as 1977 while paying for a massive public disinformation campaign to question the scientific basis of climatechange such as helping create the Global Climate Coalition.

This has occurred as climatechange hammers the West, making water ever scarcer. The company has denied that its waste caused residents’ illnesses, and judges ruled in Homestake’s favor in a case residents filed in 2004 alleging the site caused cancer. Groundwater moves. I’m Just Left on the Ground to Seep”.

Student in the Department of Animal Sciences and CSU AgNext at Colorado State University The role of cattle in climatechange has been an important topic for decades, sparking debate among scientists, producers, policymakers, and consumers. of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions (Gerber et al., methane emissions (EPA, 2022).

Both of these issues stem from the realization that climatechange is no longer purely a long-term issue for which an assessment updated every decade is sufficient. The End of History A big part of the effort to both understand past climate and project future climate is supported by the CMIP program. Gettelman, and A.
On Friday the White House Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) unveiled new draft guidance on the consideration of climatechange in National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) reviews. This is intended to replace the final CEQ guidance that was issued by the Obama administration in 2016 and subsequently revoked by President Trump.
Both lawsuits ask the federal courts to strike down EPA’s approval of a “waiver” under section 209(b) of the Clean Air Act allowing California to adopt and enforce motor vehicle emission standards for greenhouse gasses more stringent than those EPA itself sets for the rest of the nation.
