IPCC Report Informs About Irrevocable Climate Changes

November 11, 2014 By Brian Galloway Leave a Comment

IPCC report of Climate Change

A recent report of intergovernmental Panel of Climate Change (IPCC) points towards the human impact on the climate of the world. The report revealed that the human influence is not restricted to any single continent.

However, if everything goes with the same speed then it would be really difficult for experts to stop the irrevocable alterations of the ecosystem.

There are numerous actions through which authorities can effortlessly control the entire scenario. For instance, officials can strictly impose a few mitigation activities.  These activities can make certain that the changes in world climate will remain controllable.  It will ensure a much feasible and secure future for the entire mankind.

In the Synthesis report, experts utilized the data gathered by the IPCC Fifth Assessment Report. Almost 800 scientists presented the IPCC Fifth Assessment Report which was released 13 months ago. It is considered as the most inclusive evaluation of climate change in the history of IPCC.

Moreover, the authors of this report also joined the fight of reduction of carbon emission. They stated that every country should strive hard to cut down the carbon emission up to 80 percent.  It would merely lessen the world’s economic growth to 0.06 percent.

R.K.Pachuari, the chairman of IPCC expressed that it is not an impossible task to control the climate change. There are several ways that are appropriate for both the economic and human development.  People only need to alter themselves.

U.N Report: Climate Change Dangers Are ‘Higher Than Ever’

November 2, 2014 By Rebecca McGhee 1 Comment

Climate-change-dangers-are-higher-than-ever-UN-report

According to a report released by a United Nation Panel on Sunday, “Pollution and climate change due to human influence is ‘clear’, and the observed effects are ‘unprecedented.’”

The 116-page report prepared by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is the 5th since 1990. The environmental scientists arrived at new conclusions by synthesizing the findings of the previous four reports. The last report was released in 2007.

The report concludes, “Economic and population growth have contributed to greenhouse emissions, which are ‘higher than ever,’ and caused the earth to warm.”

“The atmosphere and ocean have warmed, the amounts of snow and ice have diminished, and sea level has risen,” the report said, adding that this has caused extreme weather all over the world. “It is very likely that heat waves will occur more often and last longer, and that extreme precipitation events will become more intense and frequent in many regions.” The risks that these extreme weather conditions present affect a wide range of people but are most devastating to disadvantaged populations, the report said.

Moreover, the report has recommended to allocate finances to encourage people and governments to come up with new ideas to tackle climate change. Jean-Pascal van Ypersele, the vice chairman of IPCC wrote on Twitter that ‘ordinary people’ can make choices that reduce climate change, ‘but lawmakers have liability to facilitate.’

“Global Warming by the end of the 21st century, even with adaptation will lead to high to very high risk of severe, widespread, and irreversible impacts globally,” the report warned.

John Kerry, U.S. Secretary of State said Sunday in response to the report, “We can’t prevent such a massive disaster if we don’t notice this kind of hard science. The longer we are stuck in a debate over ideology and politics, the more the costs of inaction grow and grow.”

Nasa Declared 1934 the Worst Day of Dust Bowl in Last 1000 Years

October 19, 2014 By Jason Leathers 14 Comments

1934-Dust-Bowl-Drought-Worst-in-1000-Years-Claims-NASA-

As per the reports of NASA, the 1934s dust bowl drought was the worst ever to hit North America in the past millennium. The researchers stated that the 1930s America was inundated by several droughts that destroyed farms and killed sheathes of livestock. The entire millennium was marked by extreme temperatures, erosion and dust storms, exacerbating the economic meltdown of the Great Depression.

In the recent study named, ‘The worst North American drought year of the last millennium’, the NASA’s researchers together with Columbia University’s Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory renovated the history of droughts in the United States with the help of contemporary practices and tree-ring records from the years 1000 to 2005.

The team found that the 1934’s dust bowl drought covered more than 71% of western North America and was 30% severer than the next worst, which struck in 1580.

Ben Cook, study lead author and a climate scientist at NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York stated, “It was the worst by a large margin, falling pretty far outside the normal range of variability that we see in the record.” He further stated that, a high-pressure system during the west coast’s winter that kept raining at bay, combined with poor land management practices, led to dust storms in the spring.

As per the 5th Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), “Climate change will continue to strengthen the possibilities of strong droughts in North America.”

The scientists are searching for hints from the past events and also concerned that fossil fuels continue to burn at an exceptional rate along with fracking. These will fan the flames of climate change and can lead to mega-droughts lasting up to 30 years.

As compared to the 1934’s Dust Bowl impact, the newest dry spell in California is said to be comparatively mild. Though, the drought is likely to continue till 2015, researchers added.

Three Waves of Drought: 1934 Dust Bowl Considered Worst in Last 10 Centuries

October 19, 2014 By Rebecca McGhee 5 Comments

1934-dust-bowl-drought-worst-to-hit-North-America

Ben Cook, a climate scientist from NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies has confirmed that, the 1934s dust bowl drought was the worst ever to hit North America for the past 1,000 year.

Recently, the NASA’s researchers together with Columbia University’s Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory renovated the history of droughts in the United States with the help of contemporary practices and tree-ring records from the years 1000 to 2005.

The dust bowl drought was caused by an inert, high pressure system that floated above the North American west coast for an entire winter, pushing wet weather away from the interior of the continent. Similar conditions led to droughts in both 2013 and in 2014 as well, though the dust storms that gave the region, its name in the 1930s also worked to discourage rainfall, the study claimed.

The scientists found that the 1934 drought covered more than 71% of western North America and was 30% severer than the next worst, which struck in 1580.

Ben Cook, study lead author and a climate scientist at NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York stated, “It was the worst by a large margin, falling pretty far outside the normal range of variability that we see in the record.” He further stated that, a high-pressure system during the west coast’s winter that kept raining at bay, combined with poor land management practices, led to dust storms in the spring.

As per the 5th Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), “Climate change will continue to strengthen the possibilities of strong droughts in North America.”

Currently, the scientists are searching for hints from the past events and also concerned that fossil fuels continue to burn at an exceptional rate along with fracking. These will fan the flames of climate change and can lead to mega-droughts lasting up to 30 years.

The study is due to be published in the Oct. 17 edition of Geophysical Research Letters.
