Another clue indicating a shortcoming is if you look at the atmospheric CO 2 -concentrations over time to see how much impact the IPCC reports have had on the real policy-makers in the world (Figure below). The cause of our changing climate is the increase in atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations that we have released into the air.

The increased intensity of storm surges coupled with the ineffectiveness of the coral reef barrier is leading to considerable coastal erosion in the Pacific Islands. Coastal erosion is occurring at an alarming rate within the Pacific Islands. Coastal change in the Pacific Islands. should be. [4] 3] Gombos, M.,

The ocean has absorbed nearly 33% of all greenhouse gas emissions and around 90% of the excess heat produced through climate change. If you’re not on the water or near the coast, much of this price may go unnoticed until there are disasters like stronger hurricanes, more intense flooding, coastal erosion or harmful algal blooms.

Rivers, drinking water, and farmland in southern Senegal have become too salty, a consequence of coastal erosion and seawater intrusion. Coastal communities in southern Senegal are reckoning with environmental change. In Tunisia, scarce water reserves prompt nightly shutoffs in and around the capital city.

Like terrestrial plants, seaweed uptakes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere as it grows and stores it in biomass. To offset emissions, cultivated seaweed could be used to replace more greenhouse gas-intensive products, or could be sunk in the deep sea. Seaweed cultivation may also have climate adaptation and environmental co-benefits.
