Climate change: Where are we in seven charts and what you can do to help

Nov 24,2023 1:31 pm

Climate Change is set to be larger Changes in The World : the sea level rise, Food production could fall and species can be driven to extinction.

The United Nations has warned that The World needs to limit Climate Change to less than 1. 5C above pre-industrial levels. But the scientists say that keeping the 1. 5C target ", the rapid, far-reaching loose change" in all sectors of the society and example.

So, how hot is The World and what can we do about it?

1. The World was getting hotter

world is almost a degree warmer now than it was before the industrialization widely used (WMO).

The global average temperature for The First 10 months 2018 0 was. 98C over the plains from 1850-1900, managed according to five independent global data sets.

(If you don't see, tap the chart or Click )

The 20 warmest years on record in the last 22 years, 2015-2018, The Top four make, the WMO says.

If this trend continues, will be able to increase temperatures by 3-5C by 2100.

A degree may not sound like much, but, according to the IPCC, if the countries do not act, will change The World face catastrophic sea level rise, increasing ocean temperatures and acidity, and ability of plants to grow, such as rice, maize and wheat, in danger would be.

2. The year 2019 set all kinds of records

Almost 400 all-time high temperatures in the Northern hemisphere in the summer of 2019.

records were broken in 29 countries for the period between 1. May and 30. August. A third of the all-time high temperatures were in Germany, followed by France and the Netherlands.

These European records have been sent in the midst of heat waves across The Continent , rising temperatures in June and July.

Over time may be displayed on the map (to August 2019), the yellow dots show where the heat record was broken on a specific date, pink are places were the hottest they had ever been, in the month displayed, and dark red stands for a place that was the hottest since records began.

Sorry, your browser can't this card

will be displayed More Than 30 all-time records were broken in the United States, according to the Berkeley Earth data. In Japan, where 11 people died as a result of the summer heat wave, 10 of all-time-temperature-have heights set.

3. We are not on the right path to the achievement of climate protection

the objectives to be cut If we all promise-the emissions of countries which are Contracting parties to the Paris climate agreement, would The World still warm by More Than 3 C at the end of This Century .

in recent years, climate scientists have shifted the definition of what you believe is the "safe" limit of Climate Change .

For decades, researchers, argues that global warming must be kept to avoid under 2C by the end of This Century , the worst effects.

countries have signed the Paris agreement to keep temperatures "well below 2C above pre-industrial levels, and to pursue the efforts to limit temperature increase to 1. 5C".

But scientists now agree that we actually need, in order to keep the temperature rises of less than 1. 5C.

4. The largest emitters are China and the U.S.

The countries with The Most greenhouse gas emissions by quite a long way, are China and the USA. Together, they are for More Than 40% of the global total, which moved to 2017 data from the and

U.S. environmental policy has, under the trump administration is pursuing a pro-fossil fuels agenda.

President, Donald Trump has begun The Process of withdrawal of the USA from the Paris climate protection agreement.

Mr Trump said The Deal struck in the year 2015 would disadvantage U.S. companies and workers.

5. Urban areas are particularly threatened

Almost all (95%) of the cities are facing extreme climate risks, are in Africa or Asia,

And it is the faster-growing cities that are most At Risk , including mega-cities such as Lagos in Nigeria and Kinshasa in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

84 Some of The World 's 100 fastest-growing cities face "extreme" risks from rising temperatures and extreme weather events caused by Climate Change .

6. The Arctic Sea Ice is in danger

the extent of The Arctic sea-ice has diminished in the last few years. It reached its lowest point on record in 2012 .

Sea Ice reduction for decades, with melting and accelerated since the early 2000s,

The Arctic Ocean by the 2050s, unless the emissions are reduced, free of ice said to be in the summer, as soon as The Committee .

the extent of The Arctic sea-ice in the year 2019 in 2007 and 2016 was tied, the second lowest on record. The maximum extent reached in March 2019, was tied 2007 as the seventh lowest in the 40-year satellite data record.

7. We can all do More to help,

need While the governments, to big Changes - people can play a role, too.

scientists say we all have important Changes to our life style in order to avoid damage to strong Climate Change .

The IPCC says we need to: buy less Meat , milk, cheese and butter; eating More locally-grown, seasonal Food and throw away less; driving E-cars, but Bicycle or walk short distances; take trains and buses instead of airplanes; to use video conferences instead of business trips; use a clothesline instead of a dryer; insulate homes; the demand for low carbon in each consumer product.

The biggest way to reduce the environmental burden on The Planet , change your diet to less Meat

scientists say we should eat less Meat because of the carbon dioxide emissions, the Meat -producing industry, as well as other negative effects on the environment.

A selected a massive difference in the environmental impact of the production of the same Food .

For example, beef and cattle raised on deforested land 12 times More greenhouse gas emissions than those on natural pastures.

it is Crucial that the analysis shows that Meat with the lowest environmental impact still generates More greenhouse gas emissions than the cultivation of vegetables and cereals in the least eco-friendly.

But also the change in our diet, research suggests that agricultural practices
