This alteration is a direct consequence of human-induced climate change, … Read more
Climate change is causing decreased snowfall and increased high-altitude precipitation. A warming world is turning what should have been heavy snowfall into extreme mountain rain, somewhat exacerbating dangerous floods like those that devastated Pakistan last year and long-term water shortages, a new study has revealed. Intensifying mountain rainfall due to global warming Scientists have improved … Read more
Glaciers in the Hindu Kush Himalayas are melting at unprecedented rates and could lose up to 80% of their volume by the end of the century if greenhouse gas emissions are not significantly reduced, warns a new report from the Center International for the Integrated Development of Mountains Based in Kathmandu, Nepal. The report highlights … Read more
The models calculate the state of the Earth’s atmosphere, oceans, land, and ice, capture past and present climate variability, and use the data to predict future climate change. Climate change predictions These results are analyzed by leading research institutes around the world, including the Weizmann Institute of Science, and then incorporated into the UN Intergovernmental … Read more
A new report from ESG Book, seen by CNN, reveals that most of the world’s largest companies have not made enough progress in reducing their planet-warming emissions in the last five years, putting the world at risk of suffering catastrophic climate change.
