Climate Scientist responds to Sabine Hossenfelder on Climate Sensitivity

ClimateAdam — Fri, 02 Feb 2024 15:36:48 +0000

How hot will our planet actually get? Climate scientists try to answer this question by evaluating the “climate sensitivity”. And if you’ve watched the recent Sabine Hossenfelder, you may be left with the impression that climate change wasn’t much to worry about… but now it is. So I’m here to explain what the evidence is actually showing us, and why the situation is a little more nuanced than Sabine’s commentary may have suggested. And crucially I break down how climate scientists arrive at a number for the crucial “climate sensitivity”, to give us a sense for how much global warming we’re in for.

Extreme weather: glacial flooding, wildfires and hailstorms cause havoc across the world

Guardian News — Wed, 09 Aug 2023 14:35:52 +0000

Countries across the globe are facing a range of extreme weather events. In Germany, snowploughs were deployed in the middle of summer to shift ice from roads after a hailstorm. Subscribe to Guardian News on YouTube ► http://bit.ly/guardianwiressub

Severe flooding has affected parts of Europe including Sweden and Slovenia, with hundreds of houses submerged. Human-caused climate change is supercharging extreme weather across the world, driving more frequent and more deadly disasters from heatwaves to floods to wildfires.

Huge sinkhole opens up in China after catastrophic flooding

Guardian News — Thu, 03 Aug 2023 14:18:41 +0000

Typhoon Doksuri has swept northwards over China, bringing heavy rainfall to Beijing and the surrounding areas. Days of torrential downpours triggered catastrophic flooding, destroying roads and trapping residents across the region. Subscribe to Guardian News on YouTube ► http://bit.ly/guardianwiressub

State media reports at least 21 deaths caused by the floods, as authorities expect floodwaters to take a month to recede in the worst-affected areas. Local residents teamed with the military to evacuate those who had been trapped inside their homes since the rain began.

Footage circulating on social media shows cars being swept away and collapsed roads. The extreme weather comes as China’s foreign ministry denied reports that it had obstructed discussions on tackling climate change at G20 meetings in India a week ago.

Extreme weather alerts continue across southern US from Florida to Arizona

Al Jazeera English — Tue, 18 Jul 2023 04:19:58 +0000

80 million Americans are facing heat alerts, with records being broken across the county following a weekend of record breaking temperatures from Florida to Arizona.
Climate scientists say this is what they have been warning about for decades: more intense and longer lasting patterns of extreme weather due to global warming. And this year the El Nino climate phenomenon is exacerbating man made climate change.
2023 looks to be on track to be the hottest year on record.

Heatwaves, water shortage, storms – why extreme weather is becoming more frequent | DW News

DW News — Wed, 05 Jul 2023 23:00:25 +0000

According to the US National Centers for Environmental Prediction, the average global temperature on Monday hit the highest level ever recorded, 17 degrees Celsius, 62 degrees Fahrenheit. As if that weren’t enough, on Tuesday that record was shattered again.
These are not records anyone covets. Scientists say they’re part of the climate change equation. A warming planet plus more extreme and unusual weather.
In the Netherlands people are cleaning up and assessing the damage. On Wednesday the strongest summer storm ever recording slammed into the country. And that is where our first report takes us.

Trudeau promises Canada Water Act update a priority for new agency | FULL

Global News — Wed, 24 May 2023 16:19:03 +0000

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau responded to questions on Wednesday concerning the construction of the new Canada Water Agency office, to be situated in Manitoba. Trudeau said water ecology and health are a top priority for the country and the prairies are perfect for research and management of water.

“Today I can announce that one of the first priorities of the agency will be to update the Canada Water Act, the threats and realities facing our environment have changed since it was written in 1970,” Trudeau said in his remarks.

Taking questions from reporters, Trudeau also reiterated his support for special rapporteur David Johnston’s recommendation against a public inquiry into allegations of foreign election interference, accusing Conservative Party Leader Pierre Poilievre of “choosing to sit behind a veil of ignorance.”

“I think Canadians have to ask themselves the question, is that a serious leader? Is that a serious way to handle something as important as foreign countries trying to mess with our democracy, with our businesses, with our diaspora communities on an issue like this?” Trudeau asked.
