Circle of Blue

AUGUST 16, 2021

Meltwater from Greenland’s ice sheets have caused about a quarter of the rise in the world’s sea levels. This week, Circle of Blue looks at a major new climate report, which finds that a warming planet is accelerating the water cycle. Just as human behavior causes atmospheric warming, it can also prevent it.

The physics-based models describe how energy flows through the atmosphere and ocean, as well as how the forces from different air masses push against each other.

The SCC is a metric that seeks to capture all of the costs that emitting a ton of carbon dioxide (or equivalent amounts of other greenhouse gases such as methane) imposes on society by contributing to climate change over the hundreds of years it remains in the atmosphere. The SCC then monetizes those impacts over time.
