Climate risk for younger generations is set to increase
A study published in Nature Communications found that people living in a world without climate change would have a one in 10,000 chance of experiencing extreme weather. Researchers defined the emergence threshold for Ultra-High Exposure to Climate Extremes (ULE) as 99.99th percentile of grid-scale samples of pre-industrial lifetime exposure.
The infinite optimism of polymath Friedrick Leibniz
Three farmers in Switzerland filed a lawsuit against the government last year to force them to act against climate change before their farms become “unviable”. Climate law experts said that such lawsuits might have stronger sway with governments than previous climate cases from social activist groups. Farmers’ lawsuits might have a better chance of success than previous climate cases, they added.
The special counsel defended the Trump indictment
Climate change caused the year 2024 in human history to be the Hottest Year in human history, said scientists from major meteorological associations around the world. Scientists said climate change caused the year 2024 to be the hottest year in human history. The average daily temperature for the US in 2024 was 1.3C above the 20th-century average, they added.
We mourned together, it was at the center of the outbreak
The authors of a study have found that for every 1C increase in temperature, there is a 4% increase in risk of a child being born prematurely, one of the leading causes of infant death or long-term disability. The study’s co-author said, “Protecting the health of pregnant women and newborns must become a priority in our response to climate change.”
There are a lot of deaths in Spain’s floods
A study by World Weather Service (WWS) found that climate change made Valencia’s rainfall this week about 12% heavier and twice as likely. It added that climate change made this week’s intense rain about 14% heavier and two times as likely. The amount of rainfall in Valencia on Monday was the second highest in the last 25 years, according to WWS.
How to recover from a climate disaster
Over 2,000 Nature readers said the US presidential election 2020 could have big impacts on a variety of things, including climate change and public health. Reforms by the National Natural Science Foundation of China to help young scientists get research funding could be making it more difficult. The poll was conducted between October 10 and November 5.
Don’t over-estimate the effect of carbon dioxide removal
Probing climate change with probabilistic FaIR-based models has been found to be effective in estimating the second metric (eTCREdown) in REN_NZCO2 scenario, which does not have NNCE by design. We calculate warming outcomes for each of these scenarios applying the same probabilistic FaIR setup and identify the scenario for which all ensemble members are cooling between 2060 and 2100.
aridity spurs the diversity of plants
The past decade has been the warmest on record at the Great Barrier Reef for 400 years, a study revealed. Researchers looked at chemical composition of coral in the reef and figured out how much it had changed over time. They also developed a model that suggests such temperatures are very unlikely to occur without human-induced climate change.
It was a week of extreme weather in the US
A massive dust storm called a haboob has swept through Mexico’s Surfside Beach, creating mudslides and damaging several houses. The city of Surfside Beach is on extreme weather during thetropical storm Alberto. It’s among the many extreme weather events, including storms and droughts, that are becoming more common as a result of climate change.
