Attribution science , which is about understanding the role of climatechange versus natural weather patterns and climate variability, can help us better understand the connections between extreme weather and climatechange, provide new insight into what specific emissions are driving the worst impacts, and help shape climate solutions.
Another bright spot this year amid thebad news was that the massive Greenland Ice Sheet had the lowest annual ice mass loss since 2013 ( Poynar et al. , The urgency for reducing emissions is a serious Arctic warning. in Arc2024 ). No doubt about it.
A brief history of the land carbon sink Every year, globally, land-based ecosystems remove roughly 30% of human emissions from the atmosphere, slowing both the accumulation of atmospheric CO2 and increases in global temperature. These same environmental changes can also increase carbon losses from land-based ecosystems.
Land-Use and ClimateChange Growing urban populations are accelerating land-use change (LUC) around the globe, as witnessed in the Front Range of Colorado 1–3. In recent history, we have witnessed LUC exacerbating climatechange due to disturbed soils, development of greenhouse gas (GHG) producing land uses, and more 4.
Our latest report has modeled what is actually possible if federal and provincial governments take public transit seriously as a tool to fight climatechange. This is equivalent to the annual carbonemissions produced by 20 million cars. Right now, public transit isn’t being used to its full potential.
conference would be worse, for multilateralism and for global action on climatechange. Glasgow was about ratcheting up ambition and closing the gap between what has been committed to and what is needed to avoid catastrophic climatechange. . Because the collapse of a U.N. Some baby steps, some backward steps.
Notable examples include: The World Bank (through the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development, IBRD) issued its first green bond in 2008 with $440 M; The African Development Bank (ADB) issued a half a billion USD green bond in October 2013.
The only thing out-of-balance were humankind's carbonemissions. But solving that problem doesn't require that rich nations become poor — or that poor nations remain poor — but simply that we move toward energy sources that don't produce carbonemissions, a process known as "decarbonization."
Ontario Power Generation has been quietly selling off Clean Energy Credits from its hydro and nuclear power to businesses in the United States since about 2013. Ontario businesses that are attempting to lower their carbon footprint can no longer count their electricity use as having low emissions. The secrecy of the scheme.
These days the United States’ federal government is promoting coal and backtracking on climate ambition and the European Union is no longer cutting its greenhouse gases emissions. So, who is leading the fight against climatechange ? China, India and South Korea are. . Photo credits: Flickr, Travel Oriented.
Candidate in the Department of Economics at Colorado State University As we head into the 27th United Nations ClimateChange Conference (COP27), issues surrounding the impact of climatechange in the Caribbean are high on the agenda. So why is the Caribbean Community making such a big fuss?
By Rejimon Kuttappan Along with a major expansion of renewable energy, India is also pushing for big increases in its coal production, casting doubt on its climate commitments. On the same day at COP28, the Indian government submitted its third “National Communication” to the UN Framework Convention on ClimateChange (UNFCCC).
During last November’s COP26 climatechange conference, the president of Costa Rica, Carlos Alvarado, signed an agreement that will see US$20 million flow towards the conservation of the country’s forests, funds earmarked to increase protection and help avoid deforestation.
Much of the cradle-to-grave carbon intensity data that governments depend on to guide in photovoltaic arrays are instead based on modeling assumptions that are likely to have grossly under-estimated — if not made-up — solar’s carbonemissions because they cannot get insights from Chinese manufacturers. million cars to the road.
That could be changing, though, as modern-day climate activists like the Valve Turners vigorously protest industry and government inaction in the face of increasingly dire climatechange threats. In 2013, Massachusetts District Attorney C. Although no U.S. and one in Minnesota (a Valve Turners’ case). in some way.
Scope 4 greenhouse gas emissions are not new. They date to 2013 when the Greenhouse Gas Protocol identified “avoided emissions” as emission reductions that occur outside of a product’s lifecycle or value chain, but as a result of the use of that product.

Mainstream journalists seemed more interested in Greta Thunberg’s trans-Atlantic journey to the conference by low-carbon catamaran than in demanding action. Long term, climatechange is a greater threat than the COVID-19 pandemic. Without human-induced climatechange, that heat would be at least 150 times rarer.
In 2013, after moving with my husband and young children to the beautiful coastal community of White Rock/South Surrey, BC, I learned that there was a plan to develop a US thermal coal transfer facility at Fraser Surrey Docks, about a 30-minute drive from our home with the intent of shipping 8 million metric tonnes of coal to Asia.
I am an invited expert reviewer of the next assessment report by the Intergovernmental Panel on ClimateChange (IPCC), a regular contributor to the New York Times, Washington Post, Forbes , and other publications, and a Time Magazine “Hero of the Environment.” In reality there is a growing amount of good news about climatechange.
