The biggest ever poll of climate change views has found that 64 per cent of people think the issue is a “global emergency”. The UK, which is hosting the COP26 climate summit this November, had the highest level of concern, at 81 per cent, of the countries polled. Among high-income countries, the figure is lowest at...

What is Global Warming and Climate Change? Global warming and climate change refer to an increase in average global temperatures. Natural events and human activities are believed to be contributing to an increase in average global temperatures. This is caused primarily by increases in greenhouse gases such as Carbon Dioxide (CO2). A warming planet thus... Continue Reading →
Back to Basics: Climate Change and Global Warming Introduction
Climate & Climate Change

Ripple, a co-lead author of the paper, said in a statement. The authors of the report highlight six areas where urgent action is required: energy, short lived pollutants,... Continue Reading →
examples of positive feedback cycles that will amplify warming…
Assuming we follow a “business as usual” approach and don’t make dramatic changes to our energy mix, conservative projections are that we’ll reach that first doubling to 560 ppm by the year 2050, increasing to 900 ppm by the year 2100, and even more beyond that. The first doubling of CO2, concentration would have... Continue Reading →
results would be catastrophic…
Our planet is rapidly changing, and what we are witnessing is unlike anything that has occurred in human, or even geologic, history. The heat-trapping nature of carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane, both greenhouse gases, has been scientific fact for decades, and according to NASA, “There is no question that increased levels of greenhouse gases must...
