  9. <title>Fact Brief - Does breathing contribute to CO2 buildup in the atmosphere?</title>
  10. <description>&lt;p class="bluebox"&gt;&lt;img class="figureleft" src="https://skepticalscience.com/pics/Gigafact-Fact-Brief-Banner-250px.jpg" alt="FactBrief" width="248" height="44" /&gt;Skeptical Science is partnering with&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://gigafact.org/" target="_blank"&gt;Gigafact&lt;/a&gt; to produce fact briefs &amp;mdash; bite-sized fact checks of trending claims. This fact brief was written by Sue Bin Park in collaboration with members from our Skeptical Science team.

  12. &lt;p&gt;&lt;img class="figureleft zoomable" src="https://skepticalscience.com/pics/Gigafact-Fact-Brief-No-200px.jpg" alt="no" width="200" height="59" /&gt;The CO2 we breathe is part of a balanced carbon exchange between the air and the earth. In contrast, burning fossil fuels injects CO2 into the atmosphere that has been stored underground for millions of years, causing a rapid buildup.&lt;/p&gt;
  13. &lt;p&gt;Fast cycling of carbon is seasonal. CO2 increases in colder months when plants decay and release their carbon. In the warmer months, CO2 decreases as plants take it in, along with sunlight, to produce energy and oxygen. Animals &amp;mdash; including humans &amp;mdash; eat plants, breathe in oxygen, and exhale CO2. Graphs of CO2 show a wave pattern reflecting this seasonal change.&lt;/p&gt;
  14. &lt;p&gt;Fossil fuels are part of the slow carbon cycle that operates over geological timescales. Burning fossil fuels takes carbon stored in the slow cycle and introduces it into the fast one. This activity is unique in Earth&amp;rsquo;s history; no other life-form has done anything on the same scale.&lt;/p&gt;

  30. <title>Skeptical Science New Research for Week #20 2024</title>
  31. <description>&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Open access notables&lt;img class="figureright zoomable" src="https://skepticalscience.com//pics/SkS_weekly_research_small.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="139" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  32. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s10584-024-03740-3" target="_blank"&gt;Publicly expressed&amp;nbsp;&lt;span id="skstip117" class="skstip beginner disabled"&gt;climate&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;scepticism is greatest in regions with high&amp;nbsp;&lt;span id="skstip118" class="skstip beginner disabled"&gt;CO2&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;emissions&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;, Pearson et al.,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;Climatic Change:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  33. &lt;blockquote&gt;
  34. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;em&gt;We analysed a recently released corpus of climate-related tweets to examine the macro-level factors associated with public declarations of climate change scepticism. Analyses of over 2&amp;nbsp;million geo-located tweets in the U.S. showed that climate scepticism &amp;ndash; and the aggressiveness of climate-related tweets &amp;ndash; was greater in states with higher per capita carbon emissions. This pattern remained significant after controlling for political conservatism, GDP per capita, education, and gender, and was replicated across 126 nations from around the world. The findings are consistent with a vested interest hypothesis&amp;mdash;misinformation around climate change is most likely to be distributed in regions where there is high fossil fuel reliance, and where the economic stakes of acknowledging climate change are high.&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  35. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  36. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.erss.2024.103562" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span id="skstip162" class="skstip beginner disabled"&gt;Climate&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;coalitions and anti-coalitions: Lobbying across state legislatures in the United States&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;, Hall et al.,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;Energy Research &amp;amp; Social Science:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  37. &lt;blockquote&gt;
  38. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;em&gt;We ask: Who are the main actors in state-level climate disputes, and what coalitions emerge as they take positions on specific areas of clean energy policy? Who wins in these contests? We built a novel dataset of interest groups' policy positions encompassing 224,530 lobbying and testimony records on 5449 pieces of legislation in 12 states. These data were supplemented with issue area categorizations for bills and organization type categorizations for interest groups. We find patterns relating the structure of support and opposition for climate policy to party control of the legislature, the amount of fossil fuel production, and the nature of utility regulation in each state. We then characterize the policy preferences of several major industries active in these arenas.&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  39. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  40. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.envsci.2024.103785" target="_blank"&gt;&amp;ldquo;An island on the edge of Europe&amp;rdquo;: A study on academic air travel in Finland through a combined model of practice&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;, Ahonen &amp;amp; Rask,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;Environmental Science &amp;amp; Policy:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  41. &lt;blockquote&gt;
  42. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;em&gt;Our findings highlight that the core elements of academic air travel in the institution we studied are physical events, social interaction, technologies, and environmental values. Although virtual alternatives and slow travel are gaining momentum, more support is needed to replace the informal interactions associated with physical presence. In addition, the external pressure to travel, e.g., to undertake fieldwork or attend conferences, is limiting efforts toward low-carbon travel. We hypothesize that change is particularly difficult to induce with linkages between various levels of society.&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  43. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  44. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/17565529.2024.2345331" target="_blank"&gt;The cascading effects of&amp;nbsp;&lt;span id="skstip188" class="skstip beginner disabled"&gt;climate change&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;on children: extreme floods, family mobility and child well-being in Amazonia&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;, de Carvalho,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span id="skstip189" class="skstip beginner disabled"&gt;Climate&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;and Development;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  45. &lt;blockquote&gt;
  46. &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;This paper reflects on the less visible dimensions of children&amp;rsquo;s climate risk by examining a burgeoning trend of seasonal migration in Amazonia&amp;rsquo;s floodplains. Combining in-depth participant observation and draw-and-tell interviews with children, the paper focuses on identifying the different factors that shape children&amp;rsquo;s diverse experiences of flood impacts. The article examines how age and gender shape decisions around family mobility, and how different patterns of economic migration affect children left behind. The findings reveal that climate change is eroding vital social networks for children and exposing them to material and emotional hardship.&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

  50. &lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;em&gt;Despite the climate crisis and Colorado&amp;rsquo;s worsening air quality, a package of anti-smog bills in the state legislature is facing stiff opposition from fossil fuel lobbyists. The authors find that many of these lobbyists also represent local governments, health care organizations, and other clients who are being harmed by air pollution. Th authors explore the extent to which these lobbyists are &amp;ldquo;double agents&amp;rdquo; working for fossil fuel clients at the same time they are working for victims of the climate crisis&amp;ndash;and in some cases, even lobbying for and against the same environmental bill at the same time on behalf of different clients.&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

  52. &lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;em&gt;Mitigating climate change requires large and, by historical standards, rapid changes to policy, business processes, and individual behaviour. The authors examine awareness of and perceived difficulty with individual behaviour change concerning two actions associated with high levels of emissions: transport and food choice. A nationally (Ireland) representative sample of 1,200 adults completed an online study about everyday transport and food behaviour, run in September 2023. After completing a diary task about the previous day, participants identified the parts of their day that mattered most for their carbon footprint. Answers were elicited via incentivized, open-text questions to prevent pre-set options from biasing responses. Participants also answered standard survey questions about their use of various modes of transport in a typical week and their consumption of various foods. Participants who reported wanting to change their transport behaviour and diet &amp;lsquo;to reduce their carbon footprint&amp;rsquo; (47 percent and 42 percent, respectively) listed reasons why it is difficult for them to do so, again via open-text questions.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

  210. &lt;blockquote&gt;Despite the climate crisis and Colorado&amp;rsquo;s worsening air quality, a package of anti-smog bills in the state legislature is facing stiff opposition from fossil fuel lobbyists. The authors find that many of these lobbyists also represent local governments, health care organizations, and other clients who are being harmed by air pollution. Th authors explore the extent to which these lobbyists are &amp;ldquo;double agents&amp;rdquo; working for fossil fuel clients at the same time they are working for victims of the climate crisis&amp;ndash;and in some cases, even lobbying for and against the same environmental bill at the same time on behalf of different clients.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

  212. &lt;blockquote&gt;Iraq is facing a range of climate and environmental risks, whose impacts on security are becoming increasingly apparent. From rising temperatures and water scarcity to widespread pollution and biodiversity loss, the combined effects of climate change and human pressures on the environment are contributing to local unrest, tensions, and increasing different dimensions of fragility. The authors explore the significant potential in the Iraqi reform process to improve service delivery of security institutions regarding mitigating and adapting to the impact of climate and environmental risks on communities and the environment, as well as strengthening social cohesion and contributing to sustainable peace.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

  214. &lt;blockquote&gt;The authors present the results of a survey of those best positioned to understand the impacts of interconnection process delays: project developers in the PJM-Interconnection market. The key finding from the survey is that PJM&amp;rsquo;s increasingly lengthy interconnection process is exacerbating siting and permitting challenges and leading to knock-on delays in equipment procurement and financing decisions, suggesting the timeline for new generation in this market will likely remain long for the foreseeable future. Given the importance of new entry to keeping prices competitive and maintaining reliability amid the retirement of older fossil resources, PJM will need to find ways to reduce interconnection delays or reconsider when those fossil resources should be retired.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
  215. &lt;p style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.esri.ie/system/files/publications/RS186.pdf" target="_blank"&gt;What is Preventing Individual Climate Action? Impact Awareness and Perceived Difficulties in Changing Transport and Food Behaviour&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;/strong&gt;Timmons et al., &lt;strong&gt;Economic and Social Research Institute (ESRI)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  216. &lt;blockquote&gt;Mitigating climate change requires large and, by historical standards, rapid changes to policy, business processes, and individual behaviour. The authors examine awareness of and perceived difficulty with individual behaviour change concerning two actions associated with high levels of emissions: transport and food choice. A nationally (Ireland) representative sample of 1,200 adults completed an online study about everyday transport and food behaviour, run in September 2023. After completing a diary task about the previous day, participants identified the parts of their day that mattered most for their carbon footprint. Answers were elicited via incentivized, open-text questions to prevent pre-set options from biasing responses. Participants also answered standard survey questions about their use of various modes of transport in a typical week and their consumption of various foods. Participants who reported wanting to change their transport behaviour and diet &amp;lsquo;to reduce their carbon footprint&amp;rsquo; (47 percent and 42 percent, respectively) listed reasons why it is difficult for them to do so, again via open-text questions.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

  218. &lt;blockquote&gt;Climate change is a threat to human health and worker safety, increasing the risk of injury, illness, and death in all types of occupational settings. Although the healthcare sector is on the frontlines of confronting the effects of climate change, it is also a significant source of greenhouse gas (&amp;ldquo;GHG&amp;rdquo;) emissions, contributing to the crisis. Hospitals are the largest emitters within the sector and while many are aware and motivated to take action, competing priorities can make it challenging. To incentivize a reduction in emissions, enhance system resilience, and improve worker safety, the New York State Insurance Fund is launching a voluntary pilot program to help New York hospital systems manage the risks associated with climate change.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

  220. &lt;blockquote&gt;Macroeconomic models, essential for decision-making and federal budget planning, may not appropriately consider the wide breadth of climate-related impacts that potentially have large macroeconomic significance. Challenges integrating climate factors into macroeconomic analyses can stem from the complexity of macroeconomics, climate science, policy instruments, and their interactions. Although economists have made progress in developing tools to understand climate-related impacts on the macroeconomy, much of the climate and macroeconomic research has historically been conducted in disciplinary silos that can limit a holistic understanding of climate-related impacts on the macroeconomy.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

  222. &lt;blockquote&gt;2023 was a groundbreaking year for the National Integrated Drought Information System (NIDIS) Program, from launching a technical workshop and releasing a NOAA Technical Memorandum that examines drought assessment in a changing climate to hosting the second Flash Drought Workshop and refining the pursuit of research and actions that helps to better understand rapid onset drought events, to building trusted relationships and important dialogues with tribal partners across the Missouri River Basin and Upper Columbia River Basin in September.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

  224. &lt;blockquote&gt;The Federal Reserve conducted a pilot climate scenario analysis (CSA) exercise in 2023 to learn about large banking organizations&amp;rsquo; climate risk-management practices and challenges and to enhance the ability of large banking organizations and supervisors to identify, estimate, monitor, and manage climate-related financial risks. The exercise was conducted with six large bank holding companies: Bank of America Corporation; Citigroup Inc; The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.; JPMorgan Chase &amp;amp; Co.; Morgan Stanley; and Wells Fargo &amp;amp; Company (together, &amp;ldquo;participants&amp;rdquo;). The pilot CSA exercise was exploratory and does not have consequences for bank capital or supervisory implications. Participants used climate scenario analysis to consider the resiliency of their business models to a range of climate scenarios and to explore potential vulnerabilities across short- and longer-term time horizons.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

  226. &lt;blockquote&gt;Factors Shaping Global Health Security Through 2033. During the next decade, the global health security landscape will be shaped by climate and societal changes, strained health infrastructure and capacity, and eroding global health governance. Nonetheless, promising health advances through the expanded use of successful initiatives developed in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and emerging technological developments are poised to address some of the shortfalls.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
  227. &lt;hr /&gt;
  228. &lt;h3&gt;Obtaining articles without journal subscriptions&lt;/h3&gt;
  229. &lt;p&gt;We know it's frustrating that many articles we cite here are not free to read. One-off paid access fees are generally astronomically priced, suitable for such as &lt;em&gt;"&lt;a href="https://einsteinpapers.press.princeton.edu/vol2-trans/100" target="_blank"&gt;On a Heuristic Point of View Concerning the Production and Transformation of Light&lt;/a&gt;"&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;but not as a gamble on unknowns. With a median world income of US$ 9,373, for most of us US$ 42 is significant money to wager on an article's relevance and importance.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  230. &lt;ul&gt;
  231. &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science-fair-projects/competitions/finding-and-accessing-scientific-papers"&gt;Here's an excellent collection&lt;/a&gt; of tips and techniques for obtaining articles, legally.&lt;/li&gt;
  232. &lt;/ul&gt;
  233. &lt;ul&gt;
  234. &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://unpaywall.org/" target="_blank"&gt;Unpaywall&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;offers a browser extension for Chrome and Firefox that automatically indicates when an article is freely accessible and provides immediate access without further trouble. Unpaywall is also unscammy, works well, is itself offered free to use. The organizers (a legitimate nonprofit) report about a 50% success rate&lt;/li&gt;
  235. &lt;/ul&gt;
  236. &lt;ul&gt;
  237. &lt;li&gt;The weekly &lt;em&gt;New Research&lt;/em&gt; catch is checked against the Unpaywall database with accessible items being flagged. Especially for just-published articles this mechansim may fail. If you're interested in an article title and it is not listed here as "open access," be sure to check the link anyway.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
  238. &lt;/ul&gt;
  239. &lt;h3&gt;How is &lt;em&gt;New Research&lt;/em&gt; assembled?&lt;/h3&gt;
  240. &lt;p&gt;Most articles appearing here are found via&amp;nbsp; RSS feeds from journal publishers, filtered by search terms to produce raw output&amp;nbsp;for assessment of relevance.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  241. &lt;p&gt;Relevant articles are then queried against the Unpaywall database, to identify open access articles and expose useful metadata for articles appearing in the database.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  242. &lt;p&gt;The objective of New Research isn't to cast a tinge on scientific results, to color readers' impressions. Hence candidate articles are assessed via two metrics only:&lt;/p&gt;
  243. &lt;ul&gt;
  244. &lt;li&gt;Was an article deemed of sufficient merit by a team of journal editors and peer reviewers? The fact of journal RSS output assigns a "yes" to this automatically.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
  245. &lt;li&gt;Is an article relevant to the topic of anthropogenic climate change? Due to filter overlap with other publication topics of inquiry, of a typical week's 550 or so input articles about 1/4 of RSS output makes the cut.&lt;/li&gt;
  246. &lt;/ul&gt;
  247. &lt;p&gt;A few journals offer public access to "preprint" versions of articles for which the review process is not yet complete. For some key journals this all the mention we'll see in RSS feeds, so we include such items in &lt;em&gt;New Research&lt;/em&gt;. These are flagged as "preprint."&lt;/p&gt;
  248. &lt;p&gt;The section "Informed opinion, nudges &amp;amp; major initiatives" includes some items that are not scientific research per se but fall instead into the category of "perspectives," observations of implications of research findings, areas needing attention, etc.&lt;/p&gt;
  249. &lt;h3&gt;Suggestions&lt;/h3&gt;
  250. &lt;p&gt;Please let us know if you're aware of an article you think may be of interest for Skeptical Science research news, or if we've missed something that may be important. Send your input to Skeptical Science via our &lt;a href="https://skepticalscience.com/contact.php"&gt;contact form&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  251. &lt;h3&gt;Journals covered&lt;/h3&gt;
  252. &lt;p&gt;A list of journals we cover may be found &lt;a href="https://skepticalscience.com/Skeptical-Science-New-Research-Source-Journals.shtml"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;. We welcome pointers to omissions, new journals etc.&lt;/p&gt;

  259. <title>Drought fuels wildfire concerns as Canada braces for another intense summer</title>
  260. <description>&lt;p class="greenbox"&gt;This is a&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://yaleclimateconnections.org/2024/05/drought-fuels-wildfire-concerns-as-canada-braces-for-another-intense-summer/"&gt;re-post from Yale Climate Connections by Gaye Taylor&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  261. &lt;p class="has-drop-cap"&gt;As widespread drought raises expectations for a repeat of last year&amp;rsquo;s ferocious wildfire season, response teams across Canada are grappling with the rapidly changing face of fire in a warming climate.&lt;/p&gt;
  262. &lt;p&gt;No longer quenched by winter, nor quelled by the relative cool of night, last summer&amp;rsquo;s wildfires burned an unprecedented 18.5 million hectares of land&amp;mdash;more than seven times the historic average.&lt;/p&gt;
  263. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.theweathernetwork.com/en/news/weather/forecasts/warmest-winter-ever-canadas-record-season-reaches-new-heights"&gt;Canada&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.theweathernetwork.com/en/news/weather/forecasts/warmest-winter-ever-canadas-record-season-reaches-new-heights"&gt;&amp;rsquo;s warmest ever&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.theweathernetwork.com/en/news/weather/forecasts/warmest-winter-ever-canadas-record-season-reaches-new-heights"&gt;winter&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;followed, with low to non-existent snowpack in many areas, and ongoing drought raising fears that this summer will see more of Canada&amp;rsquo;s forests and&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://firesmartcanada.ca/about-firesmart/the-wildland-urban-interface-wui/"&gt;wildland urban interface&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;go up in flames.&lt;/p&gt;
  264. &lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;The dry and historically warm winter we just experienced across Canada puts the country in a bad spot heading into wildfire season over the weeks and months ahead,&amp;rdquo; The Weather Network&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.theweathernetwork.com/en/news/weather/forecasts/canadas-widespread-drought-may-fuel-the-upcoming-wildfire-season"&gt;reported&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;in March.&lt;/p&gt;
  265. &lt;p&gt;In April, Canada&amp;rsquo;s Drought Monitor&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://agriculture.canada.ca/en/agricultural-production/weather/canadian-drought-monitor/current-drought-conditions"&gt;found&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;much of western Canada, swathes of the Northwest Territories, central Ontario, and much of northeastern Quebec and Labrador in moderate to severe drought conditions. Meanwhile, British Columbia and Alberta are experiencing extreme and &amp;ldquo;exceptional&amp;rdquo; drought in pockets. B.C.&amp;rsquo;s scant snowpack after spring snow was at 63% of normal levels in early April, with conditions in some regions far worse,&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/bc-snowpack-april-2024-drought-river-forecast-centre-1.7169544"&gt;reports&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;CBC News.&lt;/p&gt;
  266. &lt;p&gt;What happens next depends upon how spring progresses.&lt;/p&gt;
  267. &lt;p&gt;While B.C.&amp;rsquo;s south coast and interior did receive much-needed rain this past weekend and snow at higher elevations, The Weather Network&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.theweathernetwork.com/en/news/weather/forecasts/british-columbia-to-catch-a-break-as-rain-snow-arrive-this-weekend"&gt;predicted&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;that any precipitation would &amp;ldquo;fall far short of what we need to meaningfully put a dent in the drought.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
  268. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, Alberta is now in Stage Four of its five-stage water shortage management response plan,&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://calgary.citynews.ca/2024/04/19/alberta-water-sharing-agreements-drought/"&gt;writes&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;Calgary City News, with 51 water shortage advisories now in effect in the province.&lt;/p&gt;
  269. &lt;p&gt;In Eastern Canada, the federal government&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.cbc.ca/news/climate/canada-wildfires-update-federal-government-1.7169287"&gt;warned&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;that southern Quebec and eastern Ontario stood at a &amp;ldquo;higher than usual likelihood of fire in April,&amp;rdquo; with risks expected to extend into May, and the summer outlook dependent on whether and how much it rains.&lt;/p&gt;
  270. &lt;!--more--&gt;
  271. &lt;h4 class="wp-block-heading"&gt;Wildfires persist through winter&lt;/h4&gt;
  272. &lt;p&gt;Wildfire fighting is becoming a year-round effort in Canada, with blazes smouldering through the winter, often underground, waiting to surge to fiery new life in the spring. In late February, more than 150 wildfires were burning in Western Canada, &amp;ldquo;hold-over&amp;rdquo; blazes from the inferno of 2023.&lt;/p&gt;
  273. &lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;We&amp;rsquo;ve seen this before but never at this scale,&amp;rdquo; wildfire expert Michael Flannigan B.C. Innovation Research Chair in Predictive Services, Emergency Management and Fire Science at Thompson Rivers University,&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/2024/02/24/canada-wildfires-zombie-fires/"&gt;told&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;the Washington Post. &amp;ldquo;I&amp;rsquo;ve been watching fire in Canada and abroad since the late &amp;rsquo;70s. I&amp;rsquo;ve never seen anything like this.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
  274. &lt;p&gt;Flannigan said he worries that these &amp;ldquo;&lt;a href="https://www.theweathernetwork.com/en/news/weather/forecasts/hiring-blitz-at-quebecs-fire-protection-agency-as-fears-over-early-and-intense-wildfire-season-grow"&gt;zombie&lt;/a&gt;&amp;rdquo; fires are more dangerous than they appear. Most are typically classified as under control, but he warned they are sleeping giants. With perimeters &amp;ldquo;thousands and thousands of kilometres long,&amp;rdquo; they are impossible to fully control, he said.&lt;/p&gt;
  275. &lt;p&gt;In response, the Northwest Territories&amp;mdash;which&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.theenergymix.com/nwt-and-b-c-wildfire-update-sunday-evening-august-20/"&gt;saw&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;its worst wildfire season ever last year with more than 4.1 million hectares burned&amp;mdash;is deploying&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://cabinradio.ca/178315/news/environment/wildfires/nwt-using-infrared-scanners-to-find-overwintering-fires/"&gt;aerial infrared scanners&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;to track the existence, and full extent, of zombie fires.&lt;/p&gt;
  276. &lt;h4 class="wp-block-heading"&gt;Round-the-clock summer blazes&lt;/h4&gt;
  277. &lt;p&gt;Come summer, wildfires are expected to exhibit another new behaviour: overnight burning.&lt;/p&gt;
  278. &lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;We saw our fiercest fire behaviour taking place well after dark, in the early morning hours,&amp;rdquo; West Kelowna, B.C., fire chief Jason Brolund&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://ottawa.citynews.ca/2024/03/13/night-once-brought-firefighting-reprieve-but-no-longer-canadian-study-shows/"&gt;told&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;The Canadian Press, recalling the monster&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.theenergymix.com/nwt-and-b-c-wildfire-update-sunday-evening-august-20/"&gt;McDougall Creek&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;fire last August, the largest blaze in the community&amp;rsquo;s history. &amp;ldquo;That&amp;rsquo;s when we had the worst battles.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
  279. &lt;p&gt;The fire defied expectations that the relative cool and humidity of a summer night would quell a blaze, giving reprieve to the forest and firefighters. Instead, drought and the abundance of tinder-dry fuel, coupled with reduced humidity at night, is driving nighttime fires,&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-024-07028-5.epdf"&gt;found&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;[pdf]&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;a recent study from the University of Alberta&amp;rsquo;s Department of Renewable Resources.&lt;/p&gt;
  280. &lt;p&gt;Fighting wildfires in the dark is a &amp;ldquo;nightmare&amp;rdquo; scenario, Brolund said. Heavy equipment operation becomes difficult, and critical air support, including medical support for firefighting crews, is &amp;ldquo;limited.&amp;rdquo; A round-the-clock fire line also calls for larger crews.&lt;/p&gt;
  281. &lt;p&gt;And the prospects for that work force are not great.&lt;/p&gt;
  282. &lt;h4 class="wp-block-heading"&gt;Compensating and protecting volunteers&lt;/h4&gt;
  283. &lt;p&gt;Canada relies heavily on volunteers to fight its wildfires. &amp;ldquo;As of 2023, there were 125,500 firefighters in Canada, of [whom] about 88,500 (71%) were volunteers, whose departments protected 80% of the country&amp;rsquo;s territory,&amp;rdquo;&lt;a href="https://nationalnewswatch.com/2024/04/11/ahead-of-likely-ferocious-wildfire-season-fire-chiefs-lament-drop-in-volunteers"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="https://nationalnewswatch.com/2024/04/11/ahead-of-likely-ferocious-wildfire-season-fire-chiefs-lament-drop-in-volunteers"&gt;reports&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;CP.&lt;/p&gt;
  284. &lt;p&gt;Physically demanding and dangerous, the volunteer wildland firefighting sector has been challenged by attrition, losing more than 30,000 recruits between 2016 and 2023. Ken McMullen, president of the Canadian Association of Fire Chiefs, fears that last summer&amp;rsquo;s &amp;ldquo;ferocious&amp;rdquo; fire season will worsen the exodus.&lt;/p&gt;
  285. &lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;We asked volunteer firefighters to respond for weeks and months at a time last year, leaving behind their responsibilities, their employment, their parental or spousal duties,&amp;rdquo; McMullen told CP. &amp;ldquo;That is not sustainable, and we are seeing that now with the reduction of firefighters in this country, particularly volunteer firefighters, because at the end of last season some people just said, &amp;lsquo;I&amp;rsquo;m done. I can&amp;rsquo;t do this anymore.&amp;rsquo;&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
  286. &lt;p&gt;Such burnout is happening as the need for wildland firefighters grows, McMullen added, describing last year&amp;rsquo;s fire season as all-hands-on-deck.&lt;/p&gt;
  287. &lt;p&gt;Both the federal and provincial governments are trying to make the job more appealing: the feds have pledged to double the tax credit for volunteer firefighters to C$6,000, while Ontario is trying a $5,000 recruitment bonus. The provincial government also&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/article-ontario-to-give-wildland-firefighters-presumptive-coverage-for-cancers/"&gt;announced&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;it will be giving wildland firefighters the same presumptive coverage for illnesses like cancer and post-traumatic stress as their municipal counterparts when they submit claims to the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board.&lt;/p&gt;
  288. &lt;p&gt;Veteran wildland firefighter Mark Belanger, president of the Thunder Bay local of the Ontario Public Service Employees Union, told the Globe and Mail that more needs to be done in the first place to protect wildland firefighters from exposure to carcinogens on the fire line.&lt;/p&gt;
  289. &lt;h4 class="wp-block-heading"&gt;Communities prepare&lt;/h4&gt;
  290. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/respirators-wildland-firefighters-health-1.7168504"&gt;Wildfire crew health and safety&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;is a concern for Northwest Territories authorities as they prepare for another fierce wildfire season, nine months after 25-year-old firefighter Adam Yeadon died when he was hit by a falling tree.&lt;/p&gt;
  291. &lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;This is going to be the summer where we really want to make sure we slow down for safety&amp;mdash;and that we&amp;rsquo;re taking our time to make sure we&amp;rsquo;re looking around and completing all the required steps before we really put people into highly dangerous situations,&amp;rdquo; Richard Olsen, manager of fire operations for the NWT forest management division, told a recent media briefing,&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://cabinradio.ca/179462/news/environment/wildfires/whats-nwt-fire-doing-to-prepare-for-2024s-wildfire-season/#:~:text=NWT%20Fire%20is%20expecting%20to,it%20normally%20would%2C%20Olsen%20said.&amp;amp;text=The%20territorial%20government%20is%20also,summer%20focused%20on%20wildfire%20response."&gt;reports&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;Cabin Radio. More helicopter support, improved communications between government and communities, and more hires to the fire line are all in the works.&lt;/p&gt;
  292. &lt;p&gt;In rural Alberta, farmers are planning ahead to protect their livestock and outbuildings, with some saying they would defy evacuation orders.&lt;/p&gt;
  293. &lt;p&gt;Yellowhead County farmer Jens Jorgensen &amp;ldquo;was frustrated by how authorities handled last year&amp;rsquo;s evacuations, and he&amp;rsquo;s hopeful that there&amp;rsquo;s a better plan this year should wildfires pop up again,&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.theweathernetwork.com/en/news/weather/forecasts/rural-albertans-officials-weigh-in-on-evacuation-protocols-as-wildfire-season-kicks-off"&gt;reports&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;The Weather Network. If there isn&amp;rsquo;t, and they do, he plans to stay put.&lt;/p&gt;
  294. &lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;Nobody&amp;rsquo;s gonna protect our property once we&amp;rsquo;re gone,&amp;rdquo; Jorgensen said. &amp;ldquo;And I can do everything in my power to protect it if I stay.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
  295. &lt;p&gt;In B.C., where 13 firefighters with the Wilson&amp;rsquo;s Landing Fire Department lost their own homes to the McDougall Creek wildfire, &amp;ldquo;all the firefighters have chosen to keep living and working in their community, as they stare down another potentially destructive wildfire season,&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/firefighters-lost-homes-2023-b-c-new-season-1.7188537"&gt;writes&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;CBC News. And though none of their houses have been rebuilt eight months later, amid lengthy insurance and permitting processes, community members have acted to support the fire team, raising more than $175,000 in a GoFundMe campaign while collecting and offering them clothes and meals.&lt;/p&gt;
  296. &lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;There&amp;rsquo;s always a note, something that shows their appreciation and that&amp;rsquo;s just above and beyond,&amp;rdquo; fire chief Paul Zydowicz said.&lt;/p&gt;
  297. &lt;p&gt;Zydowicz saw his own home engulfed in flames while out fighting a blaze. &amp;ldquo;It was numbing,&amp;rdquo; he told CBC. &amp;ldquo;That&amp;rsquo;s a tremendous hit on an emotionally personal level and also to the fire department&amp;hellip; When you have our weekly practices and you see the faces and you know what they&amp;rsquo;ve lost, that hurts.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
  298. &lt;p&gt;This year, the upside is that there is less fuel&amp;mdash;undergrowth and dead trees&amp;mdash;than before, he added. But he said he&amp;rsquo;s worried about other areas that have yet to burn.&lt;/p&gt;
  299. &lt;p&gt;Echoing fire preparation officials in B.C., and across the country, Cliff Buettner, director of forestry and emergency services for the Prince Albert Grand Council, is&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/saskatoon/preparing-2024-wildfire-season-1.7184168#:~:text=Buettner%20said%20firefighters%20are%20training,we%20speak%2C%22%20he%20said."&gt;urging&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;First Nations communities around Saskatchewan to &amp;ldquo;&lt;a href="https://firesmartbc.ca/landscaping-hub/plant-program/?gad_source=1&amp;amp;gclid=CjwKCAjw57exBhAsEiwAaIxaZmdTWG7PfuKDUW9RhBH6sd0g44ujsDsvLyxiwe3AtDQ-rJNcSp2kmhoCfpgQAvD_BwE"&gt;fire-smart&lt;/a&gt;&amp;rdquo; all buildings, especially homes, to ensure they don&amp;rsquo;t become further fuel for advancing fires.&lt;/p&gt;
  300. &lt;p&gt;Vigilance, better communications protocols, and clear evacuation plans are being urged for especially small and rural communities across Ontario. Preparations for wildfire season had already begun in the northwestern hamlet of Red Lake in mid-March, two weeks ahead of the season&amp;rsquo;s official start date, CBC Thunder Bay&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/thunder-bay/northwestern-ontario-2024-fire-season-1.7149977#:~:text=Sign%20up%20for%20emergency%20alerts,cell%20phones%2C%22%20Mota%20said."&gt;reported&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;at the time. Similar efforts are now under way in&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-scotia/wildfire-nova-scotia-barrington-shelburne-emergency-ready-1.7151030"&gt;Nova Scotia&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  301. &lt;h4 class="wp-block-heading"&gt;&amp;lsquo;Proactive&amp;rsquo; fire management&lt;/h4&gt;
  302. &lt;p&gt;For Canada to adapt and be ready for future fire seasons, transforming forest and fire management will be critical, Lori Daniels, &amp;nbsp;Koerner Chair at the Centre for Wildfire Coexistence at the University of British Columbia (UBC),&lt;a href="https://news.ubc.ca/2024/03/27/the-2024-wildfire-season-has-started-heres-what-we-need-to-know/"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="https://news.ubc.ca/2024/03/27/the-2024-wildfire-season-has-started-heres-what-we-need-to-know/"&gt;told&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;UBC News in March.&lt;/p&gt;
  303. &lt;p&gt;Mandating the forestry industry to prioritize landscape resilience, reintroducing prescribed fires as part of the reforestation process, and planting fire-resistant, deciduous species to hamper the spread of wildfire is crucial, Daniels said. &amp;ldquo;Public education through the FireSmart program is also a high priority.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
  304. &lt;p&gt;B.C. is taking action with 61 prescribed or cultural burns on its docket this year, triple last year&amp;rsquo;s quota,&lt;a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2024-03-26/fires-from-2023-smoldering-under-snow-reveal-canada-s-dangerous-new-reality"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2024-03-26/fires-from-2023-smoldering-under-snow-reveal-canada-s-dangerous-new-reality"&gt;reports&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;Bloomberg.&lt;/p&gt;
  305. &lt;p&gt;Mathieu Bourbonnais, assistant professor of earth, environmental, and geographic sciences at UBC Okanagan, said the Canadian public has much to learn from First Nations about &amp;ldquo;proactive&amp;rdquo; wildfire management strategies&amp;mdash;those that help us learn to &amp;ldquo;co-exist&amp;rdquo; with fire&amp;mdash;like mechanical thinning and prescribed burns.&lt;/p&gt;
  306. &lt;p&gt;Bourbonnais urged policymakers to make more dollars available for such proactive strategies. &amp;ldquo;The current $30-million mitigation budget falls short compared to the billion dollars that firefighting cost B.C. last year,&amp;rdquo; he said.&lt;/p&gt;
  307. &lt;h4 class="wp-block-heading"&gt;Politicians respond&lt;/h4&gt;
  308. &lt;p&gt;B.C.&amp;rsquo;s&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://news.gov.bc.ca/releases/2024FIN0009-000241"&gt;2024 budget&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;pledges $154 million in wildfire fighting operating expenses and another $21 million in capital funding &amp;ldquo;to support additional wildfire response, recovery, and infrastructure resources.&amp;rdquo; The funds include $56 million in increased contracting funds for helicopter and air tanker services, $60 million for wildfire risk reduction and fuel management, and $38 million &amp;ldquo;to support stable, year-round resourcing, including fire crew leaders and front-line staff.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
  309. &lt;p&gt;Saying he was &amp;ldquo;&lt;a href="https://globalnews.ca/news/10312571/bc-fire-season-worries-budget/"&gt;profoundly worried&lt;/a&gt;&amp;rdquo; by the upcoming wildfire season, B.C. Premier David Eby also announced his government&amp;rsquo;s decision to set aside $10.6 billion in contingency funds over the next three years.&lt;/p&gt;
  310. &lt;p&gt;Alberta&amp;rsquo;s budget&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://globalnews.ca/news/10330545/alberta-wildfire-2024-budget/"&gt;included&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;an additional $55 million in operational expenses for firefighting. Forestry and Parks Minister Todd Loewen, who announced the new funds, also pointed to a $2-billion contingency fund, up $500,000 from last year.&lt;/p&gt;
  311. &lt;p&gt;In Ontario, concerns are growing that northern communities are especially ill-prepared for the summer ahead. The government&amp;rsquo;s $5,000&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/thunder-bay/firefighter-payments-ontario-1.7152838"&gt;recruitment bonus&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;did &amp;ldquo;little to boost the number of people signing up to fight fires,&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://globalnews.ca/news/10454085/ontario-forest-fire-crew-plane-issues/"&gt;writes&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;Global News. At last count, 46 of 189 wildfire crews have yet to be filled, and several of the aircraft used to fight wildfires are out of commission, awaiting repairs.&lt;/p&gt;
  312. &lt;p&gt;Quebec will provide $25 million to hire more firefighters over the next five years. With the new dollars in hand, the non-profit Soci&amp;eacute;t&amp;eacute; de protection des for&amp;ecirc;ts contre le feu (SOPFEU) &amp;ldquo;is hoping to expand its ranks this year to be better prepared across Quebec by hiring 160 people, including 80 firefighters in the next two years&amp;mdash;increasing its staff by 32%&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.theweathernetwork.com/en/news/weather/forecasts/hiring-blitz-at-quebecs-fire-protection-agency-as-fears-over-early-and-intense-wildfire-season-grow"&gt;reports&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;The Weather Network.&lt;/p&gt;
  313. &lt;p&gt;SOPFEU is establishing a permanent base of 14 firefighters in Lebel-sur-Qu&amp;eacute;villon, a community of 2,000 that had to&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/quebec-forest-fire-evacuation-lebel-1.6885536"&gt;evacuate&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;twice under threat of wildfire last summer. &amp;ldquo;This will help me sleep,&amp;rdquo; said Mayor Guy Lafreni&amp;egrave;re.&lt;/p&gt;

  319. <title>Climate change is making hurricanes more destructive</title>
  320. <description>&lt;p class="greenbox"&gt;This is a&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.theclimatebrink.com/p/climate-change-is-making-hurricanes-09e"&gt;re-post from the Climate Brink by Andrew Dessler&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  321. &lt;p&gt;Because hurricanes are one of the big-ticket weather disasters that humanity has to face, climate misinformers spend a lot of effort muddying the waters on whether climate change is making hurricanes more damaging.&lt;/p&gt;
  322. &lt;p&gt;With the official start to the hurricane season in the North Atlantic coming up (June 1), I figured it was time to explain why we can be so confident that hurricanes are indeed more destructive today due to climate change.&lt;/p&gt;
  323. &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Note: from here on out, I&amp;rsquo;ll refer to hurricanes as tropical cyclones (abbreviated TCs), which is a more general term for this type of storm.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  324. &lt;h4 class="header-with-anchor-widget"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1. Tropical cyclones are becoming more destructive: sea level&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
  325. &lt;p&gt;We have 100% confidence that sea level is rising because humans are heating the planet. And higher sea levels mean today&amp;rsquo;s TCs do more damage than an identical tropical cyclone in a cooler climate because the storm surge is riding on a higher sea level.&lt;/p&gt;
  326. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;As&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a rel="" href="https://www.apam.columbia.edu/faculty/adam-sobel"&gt;Prof. Adam Sobel&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;said in&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a rel="" href="https://www.congress.gov/116/meeting/house/109982/witnesses/HHRG-116-SY00-Wstate-SobelA-20190926.pdf"&gt;Congressional testimony&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;a few years ago:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  327. &lt;blockquote&gt;
  328. &lt;p&gt;The most certain way in which hurricane risk is increasing due to climate is that, because of sea level rise, coastal flooding due to hurricane storm surge is becoming worse. Storm surge occurs when the winds from a storm push the ocean onto the land. The total flooding is determined by the surge (the part produced by the wind), the tide, and the background average sea level. As sea level has risen &amp;hellip; the flooding is exacerbated by that amount.&lt;/p&gt;
  329. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  330. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Climate misinformers will respond that sea level only contributes a small fraction to the total flood depth. But the&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a rel="" href="https://www.theclimatebrink.com/p/why-are-climate-impacts-escalating"&gt;non-linearity&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;of flood damages means that even a small contribution from sea level rise to total flood depth can increase damages a lot.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  331. &lt;div class="captioned-image-container"&gt;
  332. &lt;div class="image2-inset"&gt;&lt;img class="sizing-normal" title="North Miami, Fla., is one of the cities on the U.S. East Coast with sea level rise well above the global average." src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8266b7a1-a8a8-4c1b-a620-9ab26c53f272_1500x960.jpeg" alt="North Miami, Fla., is one of the cities on the U.S. East Coast with sea level rise well above the global average." width="548" height="350.7802197802198" data-attrs="{&amp;quot;src&amp;quot;:&amp;quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/8266b7a1-a8a8-4c1b-a620-9ab26c53f272_1500x960.jpeg&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;srcNoWatermark&amp;quot;:null,&amp;quot;fullscreen&amp;quot;:null,&amp;quot;imageSize&amp;quot;:null,&amp;quot;height&amp;quot;:932,&amp;quot;width&amp;quot;:1456,&amp;quot;resizeWidth&amp;quot;:548,&amp;quot;bytes&amp;quot;:null,&amp;quot;alt&amp;quot;:&amp;quot;North Miami, Fla., is one of the cities on the U.S. East Coast with sea level rise well above the global average.&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;title&amp;quot;:&amp;quot;North Miami, Fla., is one of the cities on the U.S. East Coast with sea level rise well above the global average.&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;type&amp;quot;:null,&amp;quot;href&amp;quot;:null,&amp;quot;belowTheFold&amp;quot;:true,&amp;quot;topImage&amp;quot;:false,&amp;quot;internalRedirect&amp;quot;:null}" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  333. &lt;/div&gt;
  334. &lt;!--more--&gt;
  335. &lt;p&gt;For example, in 2011, Hurricane Irene hit the New York region with a storm surge of around 1.5 meters; existing flood infrastructure was able to handle that and there was little damage.&amp;nbsp; Just a year later, Hurricane Sandy hit the New York region with 2.75 meters of storm surge, overwhelming flood infrastructure and leading to damages of $62B.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  336. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;This is classic&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a rel="" href="https://www.theclimatebrink.com/p/why-are-climate-impacts-escalating"&gt;non-linearity&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;, where you get zero damage until a threshold is passed (somewhere between 1.5 and 2.75 m) and then damages increase exponentially.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  337. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Once you pass the threshold, every additional unit adds more to the misery. It has been estimated that sea level rise due to global warming increased Sandy&amp;rsquo;s total flood depth by 0.1 meters and this&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a rel="" href="https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-021-22838-1"&gt;increased the damage from the storm surge by $8B&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;.&amp;nbsp; Thus, the last&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;4%&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;of the total flood depth generated&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;13%&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;of the total damage. &amp;nbsp;The next 0.1 meters will add even more damage.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  338. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bottom line&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;: Because of sea level rise, you can say with 100% certainty that climate change is making every TC more destructive.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  339. &lt;h4 class="header-with-anchor-widget"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2. Tropical cyclones are becoming more destructive: rainfall&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
  340. &lt;p&gt;Climate change will increase TCs&amp;rsquo; rainfall due to the following logic chain: 1) much of the water vapor in air flowing into a tropical cyclone&amp;rsquo;s core will fall out as rain when the air ascends in one of the rain bands, 2) in a warmer climate, the air flowing into a tropical cyclone&amp;rsquo;s core holds more water vapor. Put points 1 and 2 together and you get more rainfall!&lt;/p&gt;

  343. &lt;/div&gt;
  344. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;That&amp;rsquo;s it. You don&amp;rsquo;t need any fancy physics to understand why we&amp;rsquo;re so confident that tropical cyclones will produce more rain as the climate warms. In fact, the IPCC says that we are already seeing this&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="footnote-hovercard-target"&gt;&lt;a id="footnote-anchor-1-144173350" class="footnote-anchor" rel="" href="https://www.theclimatebrink.com/p/climate-change-is-making-hurricanes-09e#footnote-1-144173350" target="_self" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM"&gt;1&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  345. &lt;blockquote&gt;
  346. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;There is&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;high confidence&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;that anthropogenic climate change contributed to extreme rainfall amounts during Hurricane Harvey (2017) and other intense TCs.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  347. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  348. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;They also say it&amp;rsquo;s going to get worse as the climate continues to warm&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="footnote-hovercard-target"&gt;&lt;a id="footnote-anchor-2-144173350" class="footnote-anchor" rel="" href="https://www.theclimatebrink.com/p/climate-change-is-making-hurricanes-09e#footnote-2-144173350" target="_self" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM"&gt;2&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  349. &lt;blockquote&gt;
  350. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;It is&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;very likely&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;that average TC rain rates will increase with warming.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  351. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  352. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bottom line&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;: You can be confident that TCs are already producing more rain due to climate change, and this is another way they are increasingly destructive. The future is for more of this.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  353. &lt;h4 class="header-with-anchor-widget"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3. Tropical cyclones are becoming more destructive: intensity&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
  354. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a rel="" href="https://www.nature.com/articles/44326"&gt;Basic physics&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;tells us that hurricane should get more intense as the climate warms. Indeed, the IPCC says there is likely a trend&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="footnote-hovercard-target"&gt;&lt;a id="footnote-anchor-3-144173350" class="footnote-anchor" rel="" href="https://www.theclimatebrink.com/p/climate-change-is-making-hurricanes-09e#footnote-3-144173350" target="_self" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM"&gt;3&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  355. &lt;blockquote&gt;
  356. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;It is&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;likely&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;that the global proportion of Category 3&amp;ndash;5 tropical cyclone instances &amp;hellip; have increased globally over the past 40 years.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  357. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  358. &lt;p&gt;The IPCC further says that climate change probably contributed to this, but the evidence is mixed so we should take that conclusion with a grain of salt. Our inability to attribute the historical trend is actually not that surprising given the fact that hurricanes are relatively rare events and good data doesn&amp;rsquo;t go back that far.&lt;/p&gt;
  359. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Regardless of whether we can attribute the past trend, there is high confidence that climate change will drive stronger storms in the future. As the IPCC says&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="footnote-hovercard-target"&gt;&lt;a id="footnote-anchor-4-144173350" class="footnote-anchor" rel="" href="https://www.theclimatebrink.com/p/climate-change-is-making-hurricanes-09e#footnote-4-144173350" target="_self" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM"&gt;4&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  360. &lt;blockquote&gt;
  361. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;the proportion of Category 4&amp;ndash;5 TCs will&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;very likely&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;increase globally with warming.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  362. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  363. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bottom line&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;: TCs are getting more intense, but the evidence on the cause of the historical trend is mixed, although it seems reasonable that climate change is playing some role. For the future, we can have high confidence that climate change will drive more intense hurricanes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  364. &lt;h4 class="header-with-anchor-widget"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;4. What we&amp;rsquo;re not sure about: number of tropical cyclones&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
  365. &lt;p&gt;We don&amp;rsquo;t really know what&amp;rsquo;s going to happen to TC numbers. We don&amp;rsquo;t have a good theory for what determines how many TCs form in the world&amp;rsquo;s oceans every year. Globally, there are around 80 per year of these storms, and we don&amp;rsquo;t know why it&amp;rsquo;s that number and not 8 or 800.&lt;/p&gt;
  366. &lt;p&gt;Without a theory, we should have little confidence in how the number of TCs will change as the climate warms. That said, models do predict that TC numbers might decline slightly as the climate warms.&lt;/p&gt;
  367. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Given that we expect TCs to also become more intense (see last section), a decline in overall TC numbers actually means&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;fewer weak TCs&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  368. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;A few years ago,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a rel="" href="https://emanuel.mit.edu/"&gt;Prof. Kerry Emanuel&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;sent me some calculations he did to show why. This plot shows the probability of a TC as a function of damage the TC does for two different climates:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  369. &lt;div class="captioned-image-container"&gt;
  370. &lt;div class="image2-inset"&gt;&lt;img class="sizing-normal" title="Image" src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F00e6c2f5-8e7d-487b-8885-4174b18da253_440x330.png" alt="Image" width="440" height="330" data-attrs="{&amp;quot;src&amp;quot;:&amp;quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/00e6c2f5-8e7d-487b-8885-4174b18da253_440x330.png&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;srcNoWatermark&amp;quot;:null,&amp;quot;fullscreen&amp;quot;:null,&amp;quot;imageSize&amp;quot;:null,&amp;quot;height&amp;quot;:330,&amp;quot;width&amp;quot;:440,&amp;quot;resizeWidth&amp;quot;:null,&amp;quot;bytes&amp;quot;:null,&amp;quot;alt&amp;quot;:&amp;quot;Image&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;title&amp;quot;:null,&amp;quot;type&amp;quot;:null,&amp;quot;href&amp;quot;:null,&amp;quot;belowTheFold&amp;quot;:true,&amp;quot;topImage&amp;quot;:false,&amp;quot;internalRedirect&amp;quot;:null}" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  371. &lt;/div&gt;
  372. &lt;p&gt;The plot shows that most TCs do little damage ($100M levels); the vast majority of damage is done by the rare but very strong TCs that do $100-billion levels of damage.&lt;/p&gt;
  373. &lt;p&gt;That plot also shows that, as the climate warms, we get a slight decrease in weak, low-damage storms and a slight increase in strong, high-damage storms. If we multiply probability times damage, we get the expected damage (it&amp;rsquo;s the area under the curves):&lt;/p&gt;
  374. &lt;div class="captioned-image-container"&gt;
  375. &lt;div class="image2-inset"&gt;&lt;img class="sizing-normal" title="Image" src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F370d4b33-5ea6-48de-9d12-11b1256d32d2_437x328.png" alt="Image" width="437" height="328" data-attrs="{&amp;quot;src&amp;quot;:&amp;quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/370d4b33-5ea6-48de-9d12-11b1256d32d2_437x328.png&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;srcNoWatermark&amp;quot;:null,&amp;quot;fullscreen&amp;quot;:null,&amp;quot;imageSize&amp;quot;:null,&amp;quot;height&amp;quot;:328,&amp;quot;width&amp;quot;:437,&amp;quot;resizeWidth&amp;quot;:null,&amp;quot;bytes&amp;quot;:null,&amp;quot;alt&amp;quot;:&amp;quot;Image&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;title&amp;quot;:null,&amp;quot;type&amp;quot;:null,&amp;quot;href&amp;quot;:null,&amp;quot;belowTheFold&amp;quot;:true,&amp;quot;topImage&amp;quot;:false,&amp;quot;internalRedirect&amp;quot;:null}" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  376. &lt;/div&gt;
  377. &lt;p&gt;This is very bad news. The reduction in weaker TCs offers zero benefit, as these storms typically cause little damage, while the increase in stronger TCs leads to huge increase in damages.&lt;/p&gt;
  378. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bottom line&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;: The impact of a warming climate on the frequency of TCs remains uncertain. However, we anticipate that most of the reduction in their number would likely affect weaker TCs, which offers little benefit.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  379. &lt;h4 class="header-with-anchor-widget"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;5. What we&amp;rsquo;re not sure about: monetary damage from tropical cyclones&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
  380. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;If there&amp;rsquo;s anything climate misinformers love love&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;love&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;to talk about, it&amp;rsquo;s how there&amp;rsquo;s no trend in the observed (normalized) TC damage. The conclusion they want you to reach is that TCs are obviously not getting more destructive.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  381. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;I could explain why this is wrong, but Kerry Emanuel already did it and you should just&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a rel="" href="https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/mit-climate-scientist-responds-on-disaster-costs-and-climate-change/"&gt;read what he wrote&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;. In addition, how you do the normalization&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="footnote-hovercard-target"&gt;&lt;a id="footnote-anchor-5-144173350" class="footnote-anchor" rel="" href="https://www.theclimatebrink.com/p/climate-change-is-making-hurricanes-09e#footnote-5-144173350" target="_self" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM"&gt;5&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;of damages matters. There is&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a rel="" href="https://www.nature.com/articles/s41893-020-0550-5"&gt;debate in&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a rel="" href="https://www.pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pnas.1912277116"&gt;the literature&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;about the best way to do this. The clear conclusion is that this approach is simply not robust.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  382. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;A more reliable yardstick of TC destructiveness is to ask the people who have money on the line: insurance companies. If you do that, the verdict is clear: insurance premiums are&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a rel="" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2023/05/05/realestate/home-insurance-climate-change.html"&gt;skyrocketing&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;and companies are&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a rel="" href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/louisiana-homeowners-insurance-crisis-hurricanes-rcna46746"&gt;fleeing&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;places that are vulnerable to TCs (Florida, Louisiana) &amp;mdash; exactly what you would expect in a world where the risk of TC damage was going up.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  383. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Insurance turns out to be the place where everyday citizens may finally realize, &amp;ldquo;holy cow, I&amp;rsquo;m screwed.&amp;rdquo; I&amp;rsquo;ve&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a rel="" href="https://www.theclimatebrink.com/p/climate-change-and-insurance-the"&gt;written about it previously&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;and I strongly recommend Susan Crawford&amp;rsquo;s Moving Day substack, which talked about insurance&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a rel="" href="https://susanpcrawford.substack.com/p/the-fragility-of-florida"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a rel="" href="https://susanpcrawford.substack.com/p/theyre-never-coming-back"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a rel="" href="https://susanpcrawford.substack.com/p/its-like-two-mortgages"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  384. &lt;div class="captioned-image-container"&gt;
  385. &lt;div class="image2-inset"&gt;&lt;img class="sizing-normal" title="" src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F3c3ddfcd-68ae-4f00-aa0a-cbf0523edd93_713x586.png" alt="" width="537" height="441.3492286115007" data-attrs="{&amp;quot;src&amp;quot;:&amp;quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/3c3ddfcd-68ae-4f00-aa0a-cbf0523edd93_713x586.png&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;srcNoWatermark&amp;quot;:null,&amp;quot;fullscreen&amp;quot;:null,&amp;quot;imageSize&amp;quot;:null,&amp;quot;height&amp;quot;:586,&amp;quot;width&amp;quot;:713,&amp;quot;resizeWidth&amp;quot;:537,&amp;quot;bytes&amp;quot;:414210,&amp;quot;alt&amp;quot;:&amp;quot;&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;title&amp;quot;:null,&amp;quot;type&amp;quot;:&amp;quot;image/png&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;href&amp;quot;:null,&amp;quot;belowTheFold&amp;quot;:true,&amp;quot;topImage&amp;quot;:false,&amp;quot;internalRedirect&amp;quot;:null}" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  386. &lt;/div&gt;
  387. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bottom line&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;: The &amp;ldquo;no increase in damages&amp;rdquo; argument is not very good for many reasons. It deserves to be dropped into the dustbin of history, but it&amp;rsquo;s so useful to climate misinformers that I&amp;rsquo;m sure it will never disappear.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  388. &lt;h4 class="header-with-anchor-widget"&gt;Summary&lt;/h4&gt;
  389. &lt;p&gt;This post has only touched on the ways that TCs are getting more damaging. There are even more ways, such as changes in the tracks of TCs moving to higher latitudes, more frequent rapid intensification, or the slowdown of TC translation speed, all of which can also increase destructiveness.&lt;/p&gt;
  390. &lt;p&gt;When arguing against this, climate misinformers don&amp;rsquo;t necessarily propagate outright lies. Rather, their method of misinformation lies in the selective emphasis of certain facts that bolster their stance. For example, they will focus on statistics like the number of TCs (or, worse, landfalling hurricanes), emphasizing that we don&amp;rsquo;t see any trend while conveniently omitting that climate scientists don&amp;rsquo;t predict an increase.&lt;/p&gt;
  391. &lt;p&gt;And they fail to acknowledge the actual factors that are driving destructiveness, such as the increase of storm surge damage caused by sea level rise or the fundamental physics that tells us that TCs will produce more rain as the climate warms. This is classic cherry picking.&lt;/p&gt;
  392. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Instead of the selective offering of climate misinformers, you should look at&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;all&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;of the data. If you do that,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;it&amp;rsquo;s clear that hurricanes and other TCs are getting more destructive&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

  397. <title>2024 SkS Weekly Climate Change &amp; Global Warming News Roundup #19</title>
  398. <description>&lt;div class="greenbox" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;A listing of 35 news and opinion articles we found interesting and shared on social media during the past week: Sun, May 5, 2024 thru Sat, May 11, 2024.&lt;/div&gt;
  399. &lt;h3&gt;(Unfortunate) Story of the week&lt;/h3&gt;
  400. &lt;blockquote&gt;
  401. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;em&gt;"Grief that stops at despair is an ending that I and many others, most notably those on the frontlines, are not prepared to accept."&lt;/em&gt; &amp;mdash; Dr. Christiana Figueres&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  402. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  403. &lt;p&gt;Our Story of the Week concerns what can be termed a gut check survey of climate scientists commissioned by &lt;em&gt;The Guardian&lt;/em&gt; newspaper,&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/environment/article/2024/may/08/world-scientists-climate-failure-survey-global-temperature" target="_blank"&gt;World&amp;rsquo;s top climate scientists expect global heating to blast past 1.5C target.&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;With nearly half of all IPCC lead authors and review editors responding, this highly informed body of opinion tabulated unfavorably:&lt;/p&gt;
  404. &lt;blockquote&gt;
  405. &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Almost 80% of the respondents, all from the authoritative Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), foresee at least 2.5C of global heating, while almost half anticipate at least 3C (5.4F). Only 6% thought the internationally agreed 1.5C (2.7F) limit would be met.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  406. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  407. &lt;p&gt;In a period where we're barely flirting with 1.5C of warming yet seeing breathaking and disturbingly unusual weather phenomena, biological impacts and disastrous effects on human affairs, this obviously comes as bad news. It's accompanied by the usual litany of other wages of complacency, including&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/environment/article/2024/may/09/carbon-dioxide-atmosphere-record" target="_blank"&gt;record-high increases&lt;/a&gt; in atmospheric CO2 concentration.&amp;nbsp; The week also sees a nasty inventory of indicators of how political processes&amp;nbsp;underpinning production of public policy to check and repair this unfolding disaster are at risk from&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2024/05/08/oil-industry-orders-trump-day-one-00156705" target="_blank"&gt;alliances of narrow self-interests.&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  408. &lt;p&gt;"It's all a little much," to say the least. We can and do productively channel the energy of anger to produce positive results, but despair is hard or impossible to catalyze into useful action. With this week's bundle of results a feeling of hopelessness may be knocking on our psychological doors. How do we refuse this invitation?&lt;/p&gt;
  409. &lt;p&gt;How about heeding expert advice from climate scientists?&lt;/p&gt;
  410. &lt;p&gt;While it's true that hope is not a plan and optimisim needs to be backed by methods, it's equally true that our species has often survived on nothing more than wishes. People who know climate science and climate change at the deepest levels suggest we dig into our reserves. We must carry on with imagining and pursuing a better future. As an antidote to despair we recommend reading&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/article/2024/may/09/climate-scientists-despair-stubborn-optimism-paris-2015-climate" target="_blank"&gt;this article&lt;/a&gt; by former UN climate convention head &lt;a href="https://www.globaloptimism.com/christiana-figueres" target="_blank"&gt;Christiana Figueres&lt;/a&gt;, who has shown what's possible by her shepherding us to the seeming impossibility of the 2015 Paris Climate Convention. We can also listen to&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VLVN4F78O64" target="_blank"&gt;practical advice&lt;/a&gt; from a younger perspective offered by British Antarctic Survey scientist &lt;a href="https://www.bas.ac.uk/profile/ellgil82/" target="_blank"&gt;Dr. Ella Gilbert&lt;/a&gt;, whose thrust essentially boils down to &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;"get informed, and take that information to your political processes."&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  411. &lt;p&gt;As Gilbert says, we are doomed to damage&amp;mdash; but every avoidance measure we take adds up. We're on a bus headed for a brick wall, but we do have the power to push harder on the brakes and thereby save rows of passengers. Our understanding of climate and our available suite of technologies are more than adequate to deal with our situation; it's "only" lack of coherent and concerted public policy that is making our harm larger. With powerful forces aligned against improved public policy, even if we're feeling very blue indeed we can and must continue to participate in creating our future. It's helpful to note: this is not wishful thinking but instead proven method, a means of action known to work. Example? While it's by no means a perfect outcome, the Paris Convention is undoubtedly going to produce a marginally better future.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  412. &lt;p&gt;In terms of results, giving up looks exactly like complacency. Are we complacent? No. Let's not behave as though we are. Being complete citizens of our planet by diving into politics armed with information is our way forward. As messy and sometimes repugnant as political processes are, they're the factory where public policy is made&amp;mdash; and only effective public policy is going to save us from ourselves.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

  478. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.1029/2023ef004230" target="_blank"&gt;A Global Increase in Nearshore Tropical Cyclone Intensification&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;, Balaguru et al.,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;Earth's Future:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  479. &lt;blockquote&gt;
  480. &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Tropical Cyclones (TCs) inflict substantial coastal damages, making it pertinent to understand changing storm characteristics in the important nearshore region. Past work examined several aspects of TCs relevant for impacts in coastal regions. However, few studies explored nearshore storm intensification and its response to climate change at the global scale. Here, we address this using a suite of observations and numerical model simulations. Over the historical period 1979&amp;ndash;2020, observations reveal a global mean TC intensification rate increase of about 3&amp;nbsp;kt per 24-hr in regions close to the coast. Analysis of the observed large-scale environment shows that stronger decreases in vertical wind shear and larger increases in relative humidity relative to the open oceans are responsible. Further, high-resolution climate model simulations suggest that nearshore TC intensification will continue to rise under global warming. Idealized numerical experiments with an intermediate complexity model reveal that decreasing shear near coastlines, driven by amplified warming in the upper troposphere and changes in heating patterns, is the major pathway for these projected increases in nearshore TC intensification.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  484. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;em&gt;The majority of available climate data in global digital archives consist of data only from the 1940s or 1950s onwards, and many of these series have gaps and/or are available for only a subset of the variables which were actually observed. However, there exist billions of historical weather observations from the 1700s, 1800s, and early 1900s that are still in hard-copy form and are at risk of being lost forever due to deterioration. An assessment of changes in climate extremes in several IPCC regions was not possible in IPCC AR6 WGI owing, in many cases, to the lack of available data. One such region is Africa, where the climate impact research and the ability to predict climate change impacts are hindered by the paucity of access to consistent good-quality historical observational data. The aim of this innovative project was to use classroom-based participatory learning to help transcribe some of the many meteorological observations from Africa that are thus far unavailable to researchers. This project transcribed quickly and effectively station series by enrolling the help of second-year undergraduate students at Maynooth University in Ireland&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  488. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;em&gt;However scientifically accurate the messages climate scientists have put forward, the appropriate inferences may not have been drawn by most of their audiences. One of the main reasons may be that scientific metaphors allow for multiple interpretations, yet, because of their expressive power, they impact discourses disproportionately. Climate communication took a path of euphemistic scientific expressions partially due to the noble scientific norms of self-restraint and modesty, but the hidden implications of climate jargon distort the way non-experts think about the heating climate. Consequently, the current climate jargon hinders informed decisions about Earth&amp;rsquo;s life support systems. Changing the softened expressions of climate language, from the cool of basic research to the heat and compassion of medical contexts, may allow for more productive public and political debates &amp;ndash; which may lead to more powerful policy solutions.&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  492. &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;In our study we found that compared with 2020, the most ambitious national proposals for CDR imply an additional 0.5 GtCO2&amp;nbsp;yr&amp;ndash;1&amp;nbsp;of removals by 2030, and 1.9 GtCO2&amp;nbsp;yr&amp;ndash;1&amp;nbsp;by 2050. Compared with CDR scaling in Paris Agreement-consistent scenarios, we found that these national CDR proposals tend to fall short by hundreds of megatonnes of carbon dioxide in 2030 to several gigatonnes of carbon dioxide in 2050, highlighting a &amp;lsquo;CDR gap&amp;rsquo;. However, we find that the most ambitious proposals do come close to levels in a low-energy-demand scenario where CDR requirements are minimized, suggesting that if countries pledge more ambitious emissions reductions consistent with these scenarios, the CDR gap will be closed.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  496. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;em&gt;We reviewed the scientific literature on CCS in Scandinavia to identify and analyse prevalent imaginaries for the role of this technology in the region. Imaginaries capture ideas about the future use of technologies. They are deeply political in that they help define what futures are seen as possible and desirable. Studying CCS imaginaries can grant insights into how current structures and interests shape future climate mitigation pathways. Our results show that one dominant imaginary defines the scientific debate, which envisions using CCS to preserve the industrial base of the region while seeking to meet climate goals. This dominant imaginary builds its appeal and legitimacy around three main characteristics: 1) scientific authority, which justifies the need for large-scale CCS, 2) greening the industrial regime, which gives it a specific purpose, and 3) Scandinavian exceptionalism, which mobilises existing infrastructure and regional know-how combined with a narrative of national environmental leadership.&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Documents demonstrate for the first time that fossil fuel companies internally do not dispute that they have understood since at least the 1960s that burning fossil fuels causes&amp;nbsp;&lt;span id="skstip225" class="skstip beginner disabled"&gt;climate change&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;and then worked for decades to undermine public understanding of this fact and to deny the underlying science. Big Oil&amp;rsquo;s deception campaign evolved from explicit denial of the basic science underlying&amp;nbsp;&lt;span id="skstip226" class="skstip beginner disabled"&gt;climate change&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;to deception, disinformation, and doublespeak. The fossil fuel industry relies on trade associations to spread confusing and misleading narratives and to lobby against&amp;nbsp;&lt;span id="skstip227" class="skstip beginner disabled"&gt;climate&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;action. All six entities&amp;mdash;Exxon, Chevron, Shell, BP, API, and the Chamber&amp;mdash;obstructed and delayed the Committees&amp;rsquo; investigation.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

  502. &lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;em&gt;In recent years, Canada has increasingly faced severe impacts of&amp;nbsp;&lt;span id="skstip273" class="skstip beginner disabled"&gt;climate change&lt;/span&gt;, including higher temperatures, shifting rainfall patterns,&amp;nbsp;&lt;span id="skstip274" class="skstip advanced disabled"&gt;extreme weather event&lt;/span&gt;s, and rising sea levels.&amp;nbsp;&lt;span id="skstip275" class="skstip beginner disabled"&gt;Climate change&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;has already impacted First Nations, Inuit, and M&amp;eacute;tis livelihoods, culture, social relations, food security, health, well-being, and ways of life. Despite experiencing disproportionate impacts to&amp;nbsp;&lt;span id="skstip276" class="skstip beginner disabled"&gt;climate change&lt;/span&gt;, Indigenous Peoples have been actively responding to environmental change since time immemorial and have developed Indigenous Knowledge Systems to respond to it. For Canada to reduce some of the worst impacts of the&amp;nbsp;&lt;span id="skstip277" class="skstip beginner disabled"&gt;climate&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;crisis it currently faces, Indigenous Knowledge Systems need to be considered. This is the first Indigenous-led report that draws on Indigenous knowledge, perspectives, and experiences to explore multidimensional and intersecting aspects of&amp;nbsp;&lt;span id="skstip278" class="skstip beginner disabled"&gt;climate change&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;impacts and adaptation.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Congress&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  674. &lt;blockquote&gt;The joint staff investigation, focused on ExxonMobil Corporation (Exxon), Chevron Corporation (Chevron), Shell USA Inc. (Shell), BP America Inc. (BP), the American Petroleum Institute (AI), and the Chamber of Commerce (the Chamber), provides a rare glimpse into the extensive efforts undertaken by fossil fuel companies to deceive the public and investors about their knowledge of the effects of their products on climate change and to undermine efforts to curb greenhouse gas emissions. Documents demonstrate for the first time that fossil fuel companies internally do not dispute that they have understood since at least the 1960s that burning fossil fuels causes climate change and then worked for decades to undermine public understanding of this fact and to deny the underlying science. Big Oil&amp;rsquo;s deception campaign evolved from explicit denial of the basic science underlying climate change to deception, disinformation, and doublespeak. The fossil fuel industry relies on trade associations to spread confusing and misleading narratives and to lobby against climate action. All six entities&amp;mdash;Exxon, Chevron, Shell, BP, API, and the Chamber&amp;mdash;obstructed and delayed the Committees&amp;rsquo; investigation.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

  676. &lt;blockquote&gt;The establishment of a new Loss and Damage Fund and Funding Arrangements at COP27 and the Fund&amp;rsquo;s operationalization and initial capitalization at COP28 were milestones in the UN climate regime. The World Bank engaged in the Transitional Committee process as a potential host and trustee for the Fund, a member of a new &amp;ldquo;High-Level Dialogue,&amp;rdquo; and a direct provider of loss and damage (L&amp;amp;D) support. The implementation of the Fund and Funding Arrangements is the first big test of the World Bank&amp;rsquo;s commitment to evolving its policies, practices, and relationships.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

  678. &lt;blockquote&gt;Put simply, even as policymakers move to aggressively deploy renewable and zero-carbon energy resources, natural gas remains a valuable tool in limited volumes to manage the context dependencies of a transitioning energy system in the short, medium, and long terms.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

  680. &lt;blockquote&gt;The authors explore the effects of extreme weather events in the three Central American countries of the Northern Triangle&amp;mdash;El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras&amp;mdash;and the efforts of local communities, despite all odds, to build resilience in the face of the increasingly brutal effects of climate change.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

  682. &lt;blockquote&gt;The security sector itself contributes to climate change. Moreover, its impact is less understood than that of other sectors. Secondly, security as a global and human good is severely impacted by climate change. Thirdly, global challenges &amp;ndash; or even threats &amp;ndash; demand global responses. The Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE), the world&amp;rsquo;s largest regional security organization, acknowledged the urgency of the matter in its landmark decision at the Stockholm Ministerial Council in December 2021. Thirteen articles provide insights into various research findings of experts from different OSCE participating States.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

  684. &lt;blockquote&gt;The authors use information from a literature study and from interviews with industry participants to develop scenarios for achieving net-zero aviation emissions by 2050 using a mix of four aviation fuels: bio-Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), synthetic kerosene, hydrogen, and ammonia. To ground the analysis, the authors compared their results to supply projections for each fuel from the International Energy Agency&amp;rsquo;s (IEA&amp;rsquo;s) net-zero-emissions-by-2050 (NZE) scenario. None of the fuel quantities required in the scenarios was allowed to exceed the IEA NZE supply projections, with the exception of ammonia, where the IEA projection reflects only existing uses and marine fuel usage. For hydrogen, the authors used the IEA NZE projection of hydrogen supply for transportation uses only, which makes up approximately half of the IEA&amp;rsquo;s projection for total hydrogen supply. The synthetic fuel supply was governed by the IEA projection for available CO2 from DAC only.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

  686. &lt;blockquote&gt;The authors take a deep dive into understanding New York City's public transportation's remaining vulnerabilities &amp;mdash; not just to one climate hazard but to all of them. It also offers a detailed plan on how the city must respond, outlining actions to protect its' subways, maintenance yards, bus depots and commuter rail lines from floods, shield bridges from the impact of high winds, and mitigate the dangers of extreme heat on infrastructure. These projects will cost approximately $6 billion over the next 10 years. Most significantly, it reconceives climate resilience as integral to everything that the MTA does. The authors chart a path toward integrating climate resilience into the foundation of the MTA's work moving forward, enabling it to upgrade and improve its' system, while preparing for the weather conditions that are coming.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

  688. &lt;blockquote&gt;Most Americans continue to acknowledge the existence of climate change, according to the latest Monmouth University poll a very serious problem has fallen below half. Support for government action to reduce activities that impact the climate has dipped below 6 in 10 for the first time since Monmouth began polling this topic nearly a decade ago. The poll finds that the drop in the importance and urgency of climate change has been most pronounced among younger adults.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Reducing GHG Emissions from the U.S. Natural Gas Supply Chain&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;/strong&gt;Garvin Heath, &lt;strong&gt;National Petroleum Council&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  690. &lt;blockquote&gt;Natural gas is the largest primary energy produced in the United States and its use is growing. Yet getting this gas to homes and businesses creates greenhouse gas emissions. That is why reducing emissions from America&amp;rsquo;s natural gas is an urgent priority that requires collaborative solutions. The National Petroleum Council brought together a diverse group of stakeholders with the expertise to analyze this complex issue and identify ways to reduce natural gas GHG emissions for all future supply and demand scenarios. The result: actionable consensus on ensuring a lower-emission natural gas system. The study&amp;rsquo;s research charts a course forward to meaningfully reduce emissions from the natural gas system, contributing significantly to the United States&amp;rsquo; ability to achieve its climate goals. The report concludes that through the implementation of existing policies, voluntary commitments, technologies, and market mechanisms, a 63% reduction in methane emissions can be achieved by 2030. The report went further to identify an additional pathway that methane emissions decrease by 70% and carbon dioxide emissions reduce by 33% through 2050.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

  692. &lt;blockquote&gt;In recent years, Canada has increasingly faced severe impacts of climate change, including higher temperatures, shifting rainfall patterns, extreme weather events, and rising sea levels. Climate change has already impacted First Nations, Inuit, and M&amp;eacute;tis livelihoods, culture, social relations, food security, health, well-being, and ways of life. Despite experiencing disproportionate impacts to climate change, Indigenous Peoples have been actively responding to environmental change since time immemorial and have developed Indigenous Knowledge Systems to respond to it. For Canada to reduce some of the worst impacts of the climate crisis it currently faces, Indigenous Knowledge Systems need to be considered. This is the first Indigenous-led report that draws on Indigenous knowledge, perspectives, and experiences to explore multidimensional and intersecting aspects of climate change impacts and adaptation.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

  694. &lt;blockquote&gt;The authors find that the rapid expansion of liquefied natural gas exports from the United States perpetuates sacrifice zones in communities of color and low-income communities on the Gulf Coast.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

  696. &lt;h3 style="text-align: left;"&gt;Obtaining articles without journal subscriptions&lt;/h3&gt;
  697. &lt;p&gt;We know it's frustrating that many articles we cite here are not free to read. One-off paid access fees are generally astronomically priced, suitable for such as &lt;em&gt;"&lt;a href="https://einsteinpapers.press.princeton.edu/vol2-trans/100" target="_blank"&gt;On a Heuristic Point of View Concerning the Production and Transformation of Light&lt;/a&gt;"&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;but not as a gamble on unknowns. With a median world income of US$ 9,373, for most of us US$ 42 is significant money to wager on an article's relevance and importance.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  698. &lt;ul&gt;
  699. &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science-fair-projects/competitions/finding-and-accessing-scientific-papers"&gt;Here's an excellent collection&lt;/a&gt; of tips and techniques for obtaining articles, legally.&lt;/li&gt;
  700. &lt;/ul&gt;
  701. &lt;ul&gt;
  702. &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://unpaywall.org/" target="_blank"&gt;Unpaywall&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;offers a browser extension for Chrome and Firefox that automatically indicates when an article is freely accessible and provides immediate access without further trouble. Unpaywall is also unscammy, works well, is itself offered free to use. The organizers (a legitimate nonprofit) report about a 50% success rate&lt;/li&gt;
  703. &lt;/ul&gt;
  704. &lt;ul&gt;
  705. &lt;li&gt;The weekly &lt;em&gt;New Research&lt;/em&gt; catch is checked against the Unpaywall database with accessible items being flagged. Especially for just-published articles this mechansim may fail. If you're interested in an article title and it is not listed here as "open access," be sure to check the link anyway.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
  706. &lt;/ul&gt;
  707. &lt;h3&gt;How is &lt;em&gt;New Research&lt;/em&gt; assembled?&lt;/h3&gt;
  708. &lt;p&gt;Most articles appearing here are found via&amp;nbsp; RSS feeds from journal publishers, filtered by search terms to produce raw output&amp;nbsp;for assessment of relevance.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  709. &lt;p&gt;Relevant articles are then queried against the Unpaywall database, to identify open access articles and expose useful metadata for articles appearing in the database.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  710. &lt;p&gt;The objective of New Research isn't to cast a tinge on scientific results, to color readers' impressions. Hence candidate articles are assessed via two metrics only:&lt;/p&gt;
  711. &lt;ul&gt;
  712. &lt;li&gt;Was an article deemed of sufficient merit by a team of journal editors and peer reviewers? The fact of journal RSS output assigns a "yes" to this automatically.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
  713. &lt;li&gt;Is an article relevant to the topic of anthropogenic climate change? Due to filter overlap with other publication topics of inquiry, of a typical week's 550 or so input articles about 1/4 of RSS output makes the cut.&lt;/li&gt;
  714. &lt;/ul&gt;
  715. &lt;p&gt;A few journals offer public access to "preprint" versions of articles for which the review process is not yet complete. For some key journals this all the mention we'll see in RSS feeds, so we include such items in &lt;em&gt;New Research&lt;/em&gt;. These are flagged as "preprint."&lt;/p&gt;
  716. &lt;p&gt;The section "Informed opinion, nudges &amp;amp; major initiatives" includes some items that are not scientific research per se but fall instead into the category of "perspectives," observations of implications of research findings, areas needing attention, etc.&lt;/p&gt;
  717. &lt;h3&gt;Suggestions&lt;/h3&gt;
  718. &lt;p&gt;Please let us know if you're aware of an article you think may be of interest for Skeptical Science research news, or if we've missed something that may be important. Send your input to Skeptical Science via our &lt;a href="https://skepticalscience.com/contact.php"&gt;contact form&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  719. &lt;h3&gt;Journals covered&lt;/h3&gt;
  720. &lt;p&gt;A list of journals we cover may be found &lt;a href="https://skepticalscience.com/Skeptical-Science-New-Research-Source-Journals.shtml"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;. We welcome pointers to omissions, new journals etc.&lt;/p&gt;

  732. &lt;div class="entry-content" style="text-align: right;"&gt;
  733. &lt;p class="has-drop-cap"&gt;Decisions made in India over the next few years will play a key role in global efforts to head off the most catastrophic effects of climate change.&lt;/p&gt;
  734. &lt;p&gt;The country has one of the world&amp;rsquo;s&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.visualcapitalist.com/ranked-the-fastest-growing-economies-in-2024/#google_vignette"&gt;fastest-growing economies&lt;/a&gt;, and its energy consumption is growing rapidly as a result &amp;mdash; but it still relies largely on fossil fuels. India has a general election that will wrap up in June 2024, and both major parties say they support moving the country away from fossil fuels as quickly as possible, a position backed by a sizable majority of citizens.&lt;/p&gt;
  735. &lt;p&gt;Global institutions like the International Monetary Fund and World Bank have pledged to help finance efforts to cut climate pollution. But many experts say more help is needed if India and other developing countries are to meet their energy goals.&lt;/p&gt;
  736. &lt;p&gt;As Indian Environment Secretary Rameshwar Prasad Gupta&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/industry/renewables/india-wants-rich-countries-to-pay-more-for-green-energy-shift/articleshow/84335402.cms?from=mdr"&gt;said&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;in an interview with the Economic Times, &amp;ldquo;Without adequate climate finance being definitively available, we can&amp;rsquo;t commit&amp;rdquo; to curbing India&amp;rsquo;s carbon emissions fast enough to meet the country&amp;rsquo;s targets under the global&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://unfccc.int/process-and-meetings/the-paris-agreement"&gt;Paris climate agreement&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;of 2015.&lt;/p&gt;
  737. &lt;h4 class="wp-block-heading" style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;How much does India contribute to climate change?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
  738. &lt;p&gt;India has only generated about 3% of&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://ourworldindata.org/contributed-most-global-co2"&gt;total historical climate pollution&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;compared to 25% for the United States. But it is the third-highest carbon-polluting country today. To have a chance of meeting the Paris targets, the world cannot afford for India and other developing countries to follow the same path that made rich countries wealthy: burning &amp;ldquo;cheap&amp;rdquo; fossil fuels, because we now know the tremendous indirect costs of fossil fuel via environmental and health damages.&lt;/p&gt;
  739. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/01/business/india-economy-election.html"&gt;The size of India&amp;rsquo;s economy has almost doubled&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;since Narendra Modi became prime minister a decade ago. The country surpassed China last year to become the most-populated country in the world with over 1.4 billion people. The&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://worldpoverty.io/"&gt;number of Indians living in poverty&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;has declined from 317 million in 2016 to 140 million today, although 90% of the population still lives on&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/01/business/india-economy-election.html"&gt;less than $10 per day&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  740. &lt;p&gt;With improved living conditions comes greater energy use and more pollution. India&amp;rsquo;s coal consumption has nearly tripled since 2005. India accounts for&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.iea.org/reports/coal-2023/demand"&gt;14% of global coal demand&lt;/a&gt;, behind only China and is&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://iea.blob.core.windows.net/assets/a72a7ffa-c5f2-4ed8-a2bf-eb035931d95c/Coal_2023.pdf"&gt;expected to account for most of the increase&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;in global coal consumption in the coming years. India&amp;rsquo;s overall climate pollution is about 75% higher than in 2005, largely due to coal-fired power.&lt;/p&gt;
  741. &lt;p&gt;Still, although per-person carbon emissions in India have doubled since 2005, the average Indian&amp;rsquo;s carbon footprint remains&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/per-capita-ghg-emissions?tab=chart&amp;amp;country=CHN~BRA~IND~OWID_WRL~USA"&gt;less than half the world average&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and seven times lower than the average American&amp;rsquo;s.&lt;/p&gt;

  743. &lt;/div&gt;
  744. &lt;div class="entry-content"&gt;&lt;!--more--&gt;
  745. &lt;h4 class="wp-block-heading"&gt;&lt;span&gt;Troubling details of India&amp;rsquo;s climate vulnerability&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
  746. &lt;p&gt;Like other industrializing countries, India is among&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/wg2/figures/chapter-8/figure-8-006"&gt;the most vulnerable to climate change impacts&lt;/a&gt;. A 2018 paper in Nature Climate Change estimated that&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/environment/climate-consensus-97-per-cent/2018/oct/01/new-study-finds-incredibly-high-carbon-pollution-costs-especially-for-the-us-and-india"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/environment/climate-consensus-97-per-cent/2018/oct/01/new-study-finds-incredibly-high-carbon-pollution-costs-especially-for-the-us-and-india"&gt;climate change will impose the highest social costs on India&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;of any country, primarily due to its already-hot climate combined with its large and rapidly developing economy, whose growth will be curbed by climate damages such as extreme heat waves, droughts, and floods.&lt;/p&gt;
  747. &lt;p&gt;Extreme heat could prove especially dangerous. A 2023 study in Nature Sustainability found that on the current track of about 2.7 degrees Celsius (4.9 degrees Fahrenheit) of global warming by 2100, about 600 million people&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://yaleclimateconnections.org/2023/06/global-warming-is-disrupting-humanitys-goldilocks-zone-on-earth/"&gt;in India&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;would be exposed to unprecedentedly dangerous heat. An analysis by the World Weather Attribution group also found that a dangerous 2022 record heat wave in India and Pakistan was&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.worldweatherattribution.org/climate-change-made-devastating-early-heat-in-india-and-pakistan-30-times-more-likely/"&gt;made 30 times more likely by global warming&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  748. &lt;p&gt;And a&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.adi1401"&gt;2023 study in Science Advances&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;found that warming temperatures are drying out the soil. Indian farmers have pumped more groundwater to irrigate their crops, exacerbating droughts and aquifer depletion that &amp;ldquo;will likely further threaten India&amp;rsquo;s food and water security over the coming decades.&amp;rdquo; It&amp;rsquo;s an impact with global implications since India is the world&amp;rsquo;s second-largest producer of common cereal grains like rice and wheat.&lt;/p&gt;
  749. &lt;p&gt;India&amp;rsquo;s citizens also are aware that their country is highly vulnerable to these damages. International surveys conducted in&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.nber.org/papers/w30265"&gt;2022&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://climatecommunication.yale.edu/publications/international-public-opinion-on-climate-change-2023/"&gt;2023&lt;/a&gt;* showed that 85% of Indians expressed worries about human-caused climate change, compared to just 63% of Americans. And 87% of Indian respondents said climate change is an important issue their country should take measures to fight, compared to just 71% of Americans.&lt;/p&gt;
  750. &lt;h4 class="wp-block-heading"&gt;&lt;span&gt;What has India promised to do about climate change?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
  751. &lt;p&gt;In&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://unfccc.int/sites/default/files/NDC/2022-08/India%20Updated%20First%20Nationally%20Determined%20Contrib.pdf"&gt;its 2022 updated international climate commitment&lt;/a&gt;, India made two key pledges: to reduce the emissions intensity of its economy by 45% below 2005 levels by 2030, and to &amp;ldquo;achieve about 50% cumulative electric power installed capacity from non-fossil fuel-based energy resources by 2030, with the help of transfer of technology and low-cost international finance including from Green Climate Fund.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
  752. &lt;p&gt;The first commitment reflects the challenge of reducing climate pollution outright as the Indian economy and energy demand grow rapidly. Instead, the country will reduce a specific quantity: tons of carbon pollution per dollar of economic activity. That&amp;rsquo;s not a well-defined metric and is complicated by factors like inflation rates and national purchasing power adjustments. But the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.iea.org/data-and-statistics/charts/co2-emissions-intensity-of-gdp-1990-2021"&gt;International Energy Agency&lt;/a&gt;,&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/EN.ATM.CO2E.PP.GD?locations=IN"&gt;World Bank&lt;/a&gt;, and&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://unfccc.int/documents/636235"&gt;Indian government&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;estimate that so far it has declined by between 20% and 33% since 2005, and the country is on track to surpass its pledge of a 45% reduction by 2030.&lt;/p&gt;
  753. &lt;p&gt;The key caveat in India&amp;rsquo;s second commitment is that it aims for half its power capacity to come from clean resources by 2030. India is a sunny country with great solar power potential, and it has been solar farms at a rapid clip. As a result, clean sources account for 41% of India&amp;rsquo;s power-generating capacity today, up from about 30% in 2005.&lt;/p&gt;
  754. &lt;p&gt;But power capacity refers to the maximum amount of electricity that can be produced at any one time. Solar panels can only generate that maximum power when it&amp;rsquo;s sunny. As a result, they generate significantly less electricity relative to their capacity than a less variable source like a hydroelectric dam or coal power plant. That&amp;rsquo;s why coal still accounts for over 70% of Indian electricity generation, compared to one-quarter from clean sources.&lt;/p&gt;
  755. &lt;p&gt;India is on track to meet its pledge to reach 50% clean power capacity by 2030, but for the foreseeable future, most of its total electricity will come from burning coal. A more rapid transition away from coal would help India meet its climate goals and also vastly improve public health. A&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pnas.2017936118"&gt;2021 study&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;estimated that the air pollution from India&amp;rsquo;s installed and planned coal power plants would be responsible for over 100,000 premature deaths per year if they&amp;rsquo;re all built as anticipated.&lt;/p&gt;
  756. &lt;h4 class="wp-block-heading"&gt;&lt;span&gt;India has a long-term low-carbon plan&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
  757. &lt;p&gt;In late 2022, the Indian government published&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://unfccc.int/sites/default/files/resource/India_LTLEDS.pdf"&gt;its long-term low-carbon development strategy&lt;/a&gt;. The document notes, &amp;ldquo;India is committed to combating climate change, by making development choices that ensure growth and development of the economy along low carbon pathways towards net-zero by 2070.&amp;rdquo; It lists strategies like expanding renewable energy, strengthening the power grid, improving energy and resource efficiency, and restoring forests. It notes, &amp;ldquo;the need for climate finance for India&amp;rsquo;s low-carbon transition is considerable.&amp;rdquo; To that end, the World Bank and International Monetary Fund have identified that&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://time.com/6271719/world-bank-imf-climate-change-finance/"&gt;they need to do more&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;to finance clean energy infrastructure in developing nations like India.&lt;/p&gt;
  758. &lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;The Council on Energy, Environment and Water&amp;rsquo;s Centre for Energy Finance says&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.ceew.in/cef/solutions-factory/publications/CEEW-CEF-Investment-Sizing-India%E2%80%99s-2070-Net-Zero-Target.pdf"&gt;India needs $10 trillion&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;to reach net-zero by 2070,&amp;rdquo; Sustainable Futures Collaborative climate policy coordinator Aman Srivastava wrote via email, adding that international climate financing &amp;ldquo;should ideally be much higher&amp;rdquo; than it is today.&lt;/p&gt;
  759. &lt;p&gt;India is in the midst of a general election that will end at the beginning of June. Prime Minister Modi and his Bharatiya Janata Party are&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/16/world/asia/india-2024-election.html#link-7bf3e11e"&gt;expected to retain power&lt;/a&gt;. Their party&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.carbonbrief.org/india-election-2024-what-the-manifestos-say-on-energy-and-climate-change/"&gt;promises&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;to &amp;ldquo;harness [India&amp;rsquo;s] renewable energy potential, targeting 500GW of renewable energy through the establishment of mega solar parks, wind parks, and the Green Energy Corridor project, among others.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
  760. &lt;p&gt;The main opposition, the Indian National Congress, is similarly supportive of clean energy policies, stating, &amp;ldquo;The future of our energy is green energy. We will mobilize the massive capital required for our green energy transition.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
  761. &lt;/div&gt;

  767. <title>At a glance - What ended the Little ice Age?</title>
  768. <description>&lt;p class="greenbox"&gt;On February 14, 2023 we announced our &lt;a href="https://sks.to/at-a-glance" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Rebuttal Update Project&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. This included an &lt;strong&gt;ask for feedback&lt;/strong&gt; about the added "At a glance" section in the updated basic rebuttal versions. This weekly blog post series highlights this new section of one of the updated basic rebuttal versions and serves as a "bump" for our ask. This week features "&lt;a href="https://skepticalscience.com/coming-out-of-little-ice-age-basic.htm" target="_blank"&gt;What ended the Little Ice Age?&lt;/a&gt;". More will follow in the upcoming weeks. Please follow the Further Reading link at the bottom to read the full rebuttal and to join the discussion in the comment thread there.&lt;/p&gt;
  769. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://sks.to/lia" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="https://skepticalscience.com/pics/FactMythBoxes-lia-570px.jpg" alt="Fact-Myth-Box" width="570" height="359" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  770. &lt;h2&gt;At a glance&lt;/h2&gt;
  771. &lt;p&gt;Where were you in 2009? It seems an age ago now. Climate science denial was everywhere. Skeptical Science was just two years old. It was like whack-a-mole - as one myth was dealt with, more would pop up.&lt;/p&gt;
  772. &lt;p&gt;Among the talking-points emerging around that time was the one that global warming was simply the planet recovering from the Little Ice Age (LIA). The LIA was a period of regionally cold conditions, usually said to have occurred between 1350 and 1850. Glaciers in the European Alps reversed their decline and advanced. In London, UK, the tidal Thames froze over sufficiently for 'frost-fairs' to be held on the ice, between 1608 and 1814. Their frequency is often exaggerated; roughly one winter in ten would be a realistic estimate.&lt;/p&gt;
  773. &lt;p&gt;Why was it so cold? Here, time travel would be wonderful. In the absence of that, we have had to develop more ingenious ways of reconstructing what happened.&lt;/p&gt;
  774. &lt;p&gt;A key factor is the LIA's regional nature. Its most dramatic effects were in Europe and North America. That suggests there was an element of 'internal climate variability' involved. The latter term refers to how heat is moved around within Earth's climate system, as opposed to being added to or removed from it.&lt;/p&gt;
  775. &lt;p&gt;During the LIA there were 'external forcing' factors too - these are things that do add or remove heat from the climate system. There was an extended period of minimal Solar activity, known as the Maunder Minimum. However, the Maunder Minimum took place between 1637 and 1719, more than 200 years into the LIA. It cannot have caused the initial cooling.&lt;/p&gt;
  776. &lt;p&gt;There were several colossal volcanic eruptions during the LIA, such as Laki in 1783 and Tambora in 1815. The Samalas eruption on the Indonesian island of Lombok was also huge, but occurred in 1257, almost a century before the LIA started. Volcanogenic cooling episodes typically last just a few years, but they wouldn't have helped: Laki and Tambora likely prolonged the cold conditions.&lt;/p&gt;
  777. &lt;p&gt;Recent research is instead hinting that the LIA was triggered by a dramatic weakening of the Gulf Stream. That was caused by warm ocean currents penetrating far into the Arctic, causing a dramatic breakup of the sea-ice. Resultant ice-floes were 'exported' en-masse out into the North Atlantic, where they melted, generating cool freshwater. This process peaked around the year 1350. The overloading by all that cool freshwater disrupted ocean circulation patterns and a rapid regional cooling followed.&lt;/p&gt;
  778. &lt;p&gt;At the other end of the LIA, what warmed things back up? Firstly, the 1850 end-date is not necessarily reflected in temperature datasets. These show a steady warming trend that only emerged after 1910, steepening and becoming less interrupted after 1970. That is not a regional but global pattern, suggesting that unlike the LIA, an external forcing was dominant. There's one obvious one - our pumping out of greenhouse gases.&lt;/p&gt;
  779. &lt;p&gt;The year 2009 was full of predictions from well-known deniers that we were entering a cooling trend. Fourteen years on, there's no sign of that!&lt;/p&gt;

  1059. <title>2024 SkS Weekly Climate Change &amp; Global Warming News Roundup #18</title>
  1060. <description>&lt;div class="greenbox" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;A listing of 26 news and opinion articles we found interesting and shared on social media during the past week: Sun, April 28, 2024 thru Sat, May 4, 2024.&lt;/div&gt;
  1061. &lt;hr /&gt;
  1062. &lt;h3&gt;Story of the week&lt;/h3&gt;
  1063. &lt;blockquote&gt;
  1064. &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;"It&amp;rsquo;s straight out of Big Tobacco&amp;rsquo;s playbook. In fact, research by John Cook&amp;nbsp;and his colleagues has shown that&amp;nbsp;&lt;a rel="" href="https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/14693062.2023.2245792"&gt;character assassination has been one of the most common ways&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;in which fossil fuel interests have attempted to deny accountability for the climate crisis."&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  1065. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;mdash; Geoffrey Supan&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  1066. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  1067. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;img class="figureright" src="https://skepticalscience.com/pics/2024-05-04-215804_1366x768_scrot.png" alt="" width="350" height="149" /&gt;Why go low? Because when one can't fly, one creeps and crawls. Widely remarked:&amp;nbsp;to fall back on ad hominem remarks is to declare intellectual surrender, at best a Hail Mary attempt to change topics&amp;mdash; and easily spotted even by children arguing on a playground. "Going ad hom" is a common failure mode when talk turns to human-caused climate change. US Senator&amp;nbsp;(from hydrocarbon-rich Louisiana) John Kennedy's&amp;nbsp; waving the white flag and ceding a vast territory of evidence and facts to Geoffrey Supan by diving into the gutter is the subject of our story of the week. Kennedy humiliated himself in the most public of places: in a televised US Senate Budget Committee hearing.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  1068. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;In a nutshell, Senator Kennedy attempted to discredit Prof. Supan and divert attention from the content of Supan's testimony by highlighting a single social media item Supan had reposted, an innocuous description of tactical choices made by a youth-led climate action organization.This was thin fabric, comically so, and made worse by Kennedy's needing to read various expletives from &lt;em&gt;other&lt;/em&gt; posts&amp;mdash; unrelated to Supan's repost&amp;mdash; into the congressional record.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  1069. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Senator Kennedy's weird diversion encourages us to speculate&amp;mdash; and legitimates scrutiny of Kennedy himself.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;With Kennedy's having created his own first mover disadvantage by changing the topic of the hearing from science to personalities, we are free in turn to wonder over his puzzling public messaging.&amp;nbsp;Are we are seeing &lt;em&gt;genuine&lt;/em&gt; inability to track a topic, or instead something more resembling a retail transaction?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="https://heated.world/p/gop-senator-accidentally-creates" target="_blank"&gt;Emily Atkin's coverage in &lt;em&gt;Heated &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;tells the whole story and offers hints of where a parsimonious interpretation may lie.&lt;/p&gt;
  1070. &lt;p&gt;Given Prof. Supan's testimony about the connection between fossil fuel industry contributions and politician support for industry agendas, a reasonable person reading this story must form their own conclusions over the root cause of Kennedy's rhetorical flop. One would think Senator Kennedy would understand how he was walking into a self-made trap of creating suspicions and doubts, issuing an unfavorable invitation to comparisons. After all, Kennedy was among the top four congressional recipients of fossil fuel industry campaign contributions for the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.opensecrets.org/industries/summary?cycle=2022&amp;amp;ind=E01&amp;amp;mem=Y&amp;amp;recipdetail=S" target="_blank"&gt;2022 election cycle.&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;With money generally not being handed out in large quantities for zero consideration, one might see this as explanation for an otherwise curious choice to look foolish in front of the world.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  1071. &lt;p&gt;As we can't read Senator Kennedy's mind, we are stuck with speculation. Is he only feigning incompetence? We can't truly know. It is of course for Senator Kennedy to choose how he leads our imaginations and is perceived&amp;mdash; we can only respect his wishes, for bad or worse. If Kennedy wants to be remembered by history as&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;"fond of loudly losing, but why?" &lt;/em&gt;who are we to question that?&lt;/p&gt;

  1133. &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;In the face of climate change, climate literacy is becoming increasingly important. With wide access to generative AI tools, such as OpenAI&amp;rsquo;s ChatGPT, we explore the potential of AI platforms for ordinary citizens asking climate literacy questions. Here, we focus on a global scale and collect responses from ChatGPT (GPT-3.5 and GPT-4) on climate change-related hazard prompts over multiple iterations by utilizing the OpenAI&amp;rsquo;s API and comparing the results with credible hazard risk indices. We find a general sense of agreement in comparisons and consistency in ChatGPT over the iterations. GPT-4 displayed fewer errors than GPT-3.5. Generative AI tools may be used in climate literacy, a timely topic of importance, but must be scrutinized for potential biases and inaccuracies moving forward and considered in a social context. Future work should identify and disseminate best practices for optimal use across various generative AI tools&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  1134. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  1135. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/pnasnexus/pgae143" target="_blank"&gt;Astronomy&amp;rsquo;s&amp;nbsp;&lt;span id="skstip113" class="skstip beginner disabled"&gt;climate&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;emissions: Global travel to scientific meetings in 2019&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;, Gokus et al.,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span id="skstip114" class="skstip intermediate disabled"&gt;PNAS&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;Nexus:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  1136. &lt;blockquote&gt;
  1137. &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Travel to academic conferences&amp;mdash;where international flights are the norm&amp;mdash;is responsible for a sizeable fraction of the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with academic work. In order to provide a benchmark for comparison with other fields, as well as for future reduction strategies and assessments, we estimate the CO2-equivalent emissions for conference travel in the field of astronomy for the prepandemic year 2019. The GHG emission of the international astronomical community&amp;rsquo;s 362 conferences and schools in 2019 amounted to 42,500 tCO2e, assuming a radiative-forcing index factor of 1.95 for air travel. This equates to an average of 1.0 &amp;plusmn; 0.6 tCO2e per participant per meeting. The total travel distance adds up to roughly 1.5 Astronomical Units, that is, 1.5 times the distance between the Earth and the Sun. We present scenarios for the reduction of this value, for instance with virtual conferencing or hub models, while still prioritizing the benefits conferences bring to the scientific community.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  1138. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  1139. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/s43247-024-01371-1" target="_blank"&gt;The&amp;nbsp;&lt;span id="skstip239" class="skstip beginner disabled"&gt;IPCC&lt;/span&gt;&amp;rsquo;s reductive Common Era temperature history&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;,&lt;/strong&gt; Esper et al.,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;Communications Earth &amp;amp; Environment:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  1140. &lt;blockquote&gt;
  1141. &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Common Era temperature variability has been a prominent component in Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change reports over the last several decades and was twice featured in their Summary for Policymakers. A single reconstruction of mean Northern Hemisphere temperature variability was first highlighted in the 2001 Summary for Policymakers, despite other estimates that existed at the time. Subsequent reports assessed many large-scale temperature reconstructions, but the entirety of Common Era temperature history in the most recent Sixth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change was restricted to a single estimate of mean annual global temperatures. We argue that this focus on a single reconstruction is an insufficient summary of our understanding of temperature variability over the Common Era. We provide a complementary perspective by offering an alternative assessment of the state of our understanding in high-resolution paleoclimatology for the Common Era and call for future reports to present a more accurate and comprehensive assessment of our knowledge about this important period of human and climate history.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  1142. &lt;/blockquote&gt;

  1148. &lt;p id="sp0050"&gt;&lt;em&gt;The phase-out of unabated coal power is crucial for meeting climate agreements in coal-dependent economies such as Indonesia and Vietnam. Despite both countries committing to the 2021 Global Coal to Clean Power Transition Statement, translating phase-out pledges into action poses considerable challenges. Drawing insights from interviews with government, civil society, and industry experts, this study identifies the key barriers hindering coal phase-out in each country. Concerns about potentially escalating electricity prices and power shortages loom large, with the former being more prominent in Indonesia and the latter more prominent in Vietnam. The obstacles appear particularly significant in Indonesia for reasons including its higher coal dependence. We conclude that prioritizing renewable energy growth, as well as halting the construction of new coal plants, would be the most practical and viable way forward for both countries rather than an oversized early focus on coal plant closures. The analysis is of high relevance to informing plans under the two countries' Just Energy Transition Partnerships.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  1149. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  1150. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s13280-024-01986-w" target="_blank"&gt;The decision maker&amp;rsquo;s lament: If I only had some science!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;, Bisbal,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;Ambio (perspective):&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  1151. &lt;blockquote&gt;
  1152. &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Environmental decision makers lament instances in which the lack of actionable science limits confident decision-making. Their reaction when the needed scientific information is of poor quality, uninformative, unintelligible, or altogether absent is often to criticize scientists, their work, or science in general. The considerations offered here encourage decision makers to explore alternative approaches to alleviate their disappointment. Ironically, many researchers lament the lack of support for the science they wish to deliver and accuse decision makers of failing to realize the value of the scientific studies they propose. Both communities would benefit by remembering that producing actionable science for a pending decision requires knowing the context for that decision beforehand. They may also look inward. Only then will they find answers to the question: What can I do within my own capacity to ensure that the necessary actionable science becomes available and facilitate its use to inform decisions?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  1159. &lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;em&gt;From April 14 to 15 2024, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and the northern parts of Oman were hit by exceptionally heavy rainfall causing massive disruption in infrastructure and public life in the area and leading to at least 20 fatalities in Oman and four in the United Arab Emirates UAE. The disagreement between model results and observations prevents the authors from concluding with certainty that human-induced climate change is the main driver making this event more likely. However, while multiple reasons could explain the absence of a trend in the model results, the authors have no alternative explanation for a trend in observations other than the expectation of heavy rainfall increasing in a warmer climate.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

  1333. &lt;blockquote&gt;&amp;ldquo;State of the Air&amp;rdquo; 2024 is the 25th edition of this annual report, which was first published in 2000. From the beginning, the findings have reflected the successes of the Clean Air Act, as emissions from transportation, power plants and manufacturing have been reduced. In recent years, however, the findings of the report continue adding to the evidence that a changing climate is making it harder to protect human health. High ozone days and spikes in particle pollution related to extreme heat, drought and wildfires are putting millions of people at risk and adding challenges to the work that states and cities are doing across the nation to clean up air pollution.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

  1335. &lt;blockquote&gt;Climate change will have significant effects on military power, capabilities, effectiveness, and employment. Yet, scholars have paid little attention to this topic. We address this gap by investigating the effects of changing ocean conditions on anti-submarine warfare. Anti-submarine warfare capabilities exploit various physical phenomena to detect enemy submarines, principally underwater sound propagation. Underwater sound propagation depends on factors influenced by climate change, such as water temperature and salinity. Through ocean-acoustic simulations, we estimate the effect of climate change on the detection range of enemy submarines in the North Atlantic and in the Western Pacific.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

  1337. &lt;blockquote&gt;From April 14 to 15 2024, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and the northern parts of Oman were hit by exceptionally heavy rainfall causing massive disruption in infrastructure and public life in the area and leading to at least 20 fatalities in Oman and four in the United Arab Emirates UAE. The disagreement between model results and observations prevents the authors from concluding with certainty that human-induced climate change is the main driver making this event more likely. However, while multiple reasons could explain the absence of a trend in the model results, the authors have no alternative explanation for a trend in observations other than the expectation of heavy rainfall increasing in a warmer climate.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

  1339. &lt;blockquote&gt;The National Critical Functions (NCFs) are those functions vital to the United States' economic and national security, public health, and safety. Climate change effects have the potential to disrupt routine operations of these functions. Climate risk mitigation strategies are intended to reduce an NCF's vulnerability to, or the consequences from, direct and indirect effects of climate change. This report is intended to inform risk mitigation planning and decision-making by contextualizing climate risk mitigation through a review of mitigation strategies for four NCFs: Maintain Supply Chains, Provide Insurance Services, Prepare for and Manage Emergencies, and Provide Public Safety.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

  1341. &lt;blockquote&gt;The authors identify solutions to enable interconnection processes to meet the growing demand for renewable energy resources from the rapid, widespread clean energy transition. The authors provide the diverse group of interconnection stakeholders with near- to long-term solutions to address current challenges in transmission system interconnection.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

  1343. &lt;blockquote&gt;The climate crisis has renewed interest in nuclear energy as a way of reducing greenhouse gas emissions. In 2023, the United States and 21 other countries pledged to triple nuclear energy by 2050. Lost in the noise about meeting net zero goals are the national security implications of attempting such an enormous expansion of nuclear energy.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

  1345. &lt;blockquote&gt;Louisiana&amp;rsquo;s experience and expertise in offshore energy grants it a unique position to support the burgeoning U.S. offshore wind industry, while attracting new opportunities for existing Louisiana businesses, expanding employment opportunities for Louisiana residents, and capturing significant economic benefits for the State. The authors assess the industry landscape, supply chain, and workforce opportunities available to Louisiana in the offshore wind industry. As a nationally recognized leader in port infrastructure, maritime construction, and energy production, Louisiana can further diversify and develop new employment and economic opportunities through renewable energy production.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

  1347. &lt;blockquote&gt;The authors provide insights into the state of the science on climate change and the implications for adaptation and mitigation policy in New York City. Building on the longitudinal data afforded by this ongoing research, this assessment centers on equity as a shared focus across all working groups. This is achieved through inclusive internal processes for working group activities and explicit attention to uneven impacts and vulnerabilities associated with climate change policy responses.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

  1349. &lt;blockquote&gt;The author highlights some of the benefits and challenges associated with the coal to nuclear repowering process, with a particular focus on the policy, programmatic, and regulatory considerations of relevance to State Energy Offices and Public Utility Commissions. Some of the benefits of coal to nuclear repowering include reduced emissions, workforce and economic development potential, improved electric reliability, and opportunities to save time and money relative to greenfield deployment by repurposing existing infrastructure.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

  1351. &lt;blockquote&gt;The Factsheet outlines key trends in the energy sector. As America continues its transformation to cleaner, cheaper sustainable energy, Minnesota continues to be a leader both regionally and nationally. For example, for the fourth consecutive year, zero-carbon power remained the majority of Minnesota&amp;rsquo;s electricity with 54% of the state&amp;rsquo;s power provided, including wind, solar, hydro and biomass &amp;mdash; outpacing the national share of 42%.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

  1353. &lt;blockquote&gt;The authors provide audience members, screenwriters, filmmakers, studios, and researchers with a straightforward way to evaluate whether climate change is represented&amp;mdash;or omitted&amp;mdash;in any narrative through a two-part, binary evaluation tool that is simple, illuminating, and powerful.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
  1354. &lt;hr /&gt;
  1355. &lt;h3 style="text-align: left;"&gt;Obtaining articles without journal subscriptions&lt;/h3&gt;
  1356. &lt;p style="text-align: left;"&gt;We know it's frustrating that many articles we cite here are not free to read. One-off paid access fees are generally astronomically priced, suitable for such as &lt;em&gt;"&lt;a href="https://einsteinpapers.press.princeton.edu/vol2-trans/100" target="_blank"&gt;On a Heuristic Point of View Concerning the Production and Transformation of Light&lt;/a&gt;"&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;but not as a gamble on unknowns. With a median world income of US$ 9,373, for most of us US$ 42 is significant money to wager on an article's relevance and importance.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  1357. &lt;ul style="text-align: left;"&gt;
  1358. &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science-fair-projects/competitions/finding-and-accessing-scientific-papers"&gt;Here's an excellent collection&lt;/a&gt; of tips and techniques for obtaining articles, legally.&lt;/li&gt;
  1359. &lt;/ul&gt;
  1360. &lt;ul style="text-align: left;"&gt;
  1361. &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://unpaywall.org/" target="_blank"&gt;Unpaywall&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;offers a browser extension for Chrome and Firefox that automatically indicates when an article is freely accessible and provides immediate access without further trouble. Unpaywall is also unscammy, works well, is itself offered free to use. The organizers (a legitimate nonprofit) report about a 50% success rate&lt;/li&gt;
  1362. &lt;/ul&gt;
  1363. &lt;ul style="text-align: left;"&gt;
  1364. &lt;li&gt;The weekly &lt;em&gt;New Research&lt;/em&gt; catch is checked against the Unpaywall database with accessible items being flagged. Especially for just-published articles this mechansim may fail. If you're interested in an article title and it is not listed here as "open access," be sure to check the link anyway.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
  1365. &lt;/ul&gt;
  1366. &lt;h3 style="text-align: left;"&gt;How is &lt;em&gt;New Research&lt;/em&gt; assembled?&lt;/h3&gt;
  1367. &lt;p style="text-align: left;"&gt;Most articles appearing here are found via&amp;nbsp; RSS feeds from journal publishers, filtered by search terms to produce raw output&amp;nbsp;for assessment of relevance.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  1368. &lt;p style="text-align: left;"&gt;Relevant articles are then queried against the Unpaywall database, to identify open access articles and expose useful metadata for articles appearing in the database.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  1369. &lt;p style="text-align: left;"&gt;The objective of New Research isn't to cast a tinge on scientific results, to color readers' impressions. Hence candidate articles are assessed via two metrics only:&lt;/p&gt;
  1370. &lt;ul style="text-align: left;"&gt;
  1371. &lt;li&gt;Was an article deemed of sufficient merit by a team of journal editors and peer reviewers? The fact of journal RSS output assigns a "yes" to this automatically.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
  1372. &lt;li&gt;Is an article relevant to the topic of anthropogenic climate change? Due to filter overlap with other publication topics of inquiry, of a typical week's 550 or so input articles about 1/4 of RSS output makes the cut.&lt;/li&gt;
  1373. &lt;/ul&gt;
  1374. &lt;p style="text-align: left;"&gt;A few journals offer public access to "preprint" versions of articles for which the review process is not yet complete. For some key journals this all the mention we'll see in RSS feeds, so we include such items in &lt;em&gt;New Research&lt;/em&gt;. These are flagged as "preprint."&lt;/p&gt;
  1375. &lt;p style="text-align: left;"&gt;The section "Informed opinion, nudges &amp;amp; major initiatives" includes some items that are not scientific research per se but fall instead into the category of "perspectives," observations of implications of research findings, areas needing attention, etc.&lt;/p&gt;
  1376. &lt;h3 style="text-align: left;"&gt;Suggestions&lt;/h3&gt;
  1377. &lt;p style="text-align: left;"&gt;Please let us know if you're aware of an article you think may be of interest for Skeptical Science research news, or if we've missed something that may be important. Send your input to Skeptical Science via our &lt;a href="https://skepticalscience.com/contact.php"&gt;contact form&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  1378. &lt;h3 style="text-align: left;"&gt;Journals covered&lt;/h3&gt;
  1379. &lt;p style="text-align: left;"&gt;A list of journals we cover may be found &lt;a href="https://skepticalscience.com/Skeptical-Science-New-Research-Source-Journals.shtml"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;. We welcome pointers to omissions, new journals etc.&lt;/p&gt;

  1386. <title>Climate Adam: How to visualise Climate Change (ft. Katharine Hayhoe)</title>
  1387. <description>&lt;p class="greenbox"&gt;This video includes conclusions of the creator climate scientist&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.climateadam.co.uk/" target="_blank"&gt;Dr. Adam Levy&lt;/a&gt;. It is presented to our readers as an informed perspective. Please see video description for references (if any).&lt;/p&gt;
  1388. &lt;p&gt;Climate change is everywhere. And when something's everywhere it can feel like it's nowhere. So how do we get our heads around something so huge and abstract - whether it's thinking about extreme weather, or the fossil fuels producing CO2 and driving the problem? I'm joined by one of my all time climate heroes - Katharine Hayhoe - to share some of our favourite ways of thinking about the climate crisis&lt;/p&gt;

  1397. <title>At a glance - Tree ring proxies and the divergence problem</title>
  1398. <description>&lt;p class="greenbox"&gt;On February 14, 2023 we announced our &lt;a href="https://sks.to/at-a-glance" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Rebuttal Update Project&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. This included an &lt;strong&gt;ask for feedback&lt;/strong&gt; about the added "At a glance" section in the updated basic rebuttal versions. This weekly blog post series highlights this new section of one of the updated basic rebuttal versions and serves as a "bump" for our ask. This week features "&lt;a href="https://skepticalscience.com/Tree-ring-proxies-divergence-problem-basic.htm" target="_blank"&gt;Tree-ring proxies and the divergence problem&lt;/a&gt;". More will follow in the upcoming weeks. Please follow the Further Reading link at the bottom to read the full rebuttal and to join the discussion in the comment thread there.&lt;/p&gt;
  1399. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://sks.to/diverge" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="https://skepticalscience.com/pics/FactMythBoxes-Diverge-570px.jpg" alt="Fact-Myth-Box" width="570" height="427" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  1400. &lt;h2&gt;At a glance&lt;/h2&gt;
  1401. &lt;p&gt;"Trees tell of past climates: but are they speaking less clearly today?" That was the intriguing title of a paper published in the peer-reviewed journal, Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London, in 1998. The authors discussed various aspects of the use of tree-rings as representatives - or proxies - of past climatic patterns.&lt;/p&gt;
  1402. &lt;p&gt;Tree growth is sensitive to temperature. Because of that, warmer wetter periods produce wider tree-ring patterns. When it's colder and dryer, the rings are narrower, indicating slow growth. In this way, the width and density of tree-rings in ancient trees serve as a proxy for temperature. That makes it possible to reconstruct temperature records going back over many centuries. For example, historic events such as major volcanic explosions tend to lead to global cooling. Such events show up very well in tree-ring reconstructions.&lt;/p&gt;
  1403. &lt;p&gt;In more recent times, since the late 19th century, we also have the observational temperature record to compare with tree-ring reconstructions. Agreement between the two datasets is at first close. However, in middle and especially high latitude sites, the correlation breaks down after 1960. At this point, while temperatures rise, tree-ring width shows a falling trend - a decline. This divergence between temperature and tree growth is called, imaginatively enough, the divergence problem.&lt;/p&gt;
  1404. &lt;p&gt;The decline, or divergence problem had been recognised, regularly discussed and written about since around 1995. That's 14 years before anyone had ever heard of 'climategate' and the song and dance that the science&amp;ndash;deniers made of 'hide the decline'. If anything should serve as a quality-control alert for the output of science-deniers, it's right there.&lt;/p&gt;
  1405. &lt;p&gt;Now, everything that happens has a cause, but not all causes are straightforward. There are plenty of ways to put stress on plants and stress makes growth-patterns abnormal. The trouble is that such stress-factors often vary in an irregular fashion and independently of one another. Even in a 2023 paper, the detailed cause of the divergence problem was described as being accompanied by 'significant controversies'. It's real, but it's complicated, in other words.&lt;/p&gt;
  1406. &lt;p&gt;Temperature-induced drought stress and changes in seasonality are likely to be relevant here. Also likely to have had a role is the phenomenon of &amp;lsquo;Arctic dimming'. The term 'dimming' refers to reduced sunshine reaching the surface in some circumpolar regions, due to industrial aerosol pollution. Northern Hemisphere pollution tends to accumulate over the Arctic. Reduced sunshine affects photosynthesis and in return that impacts upon plant health and growth. Indeed, a 2021 paper ominously commented that the effects of Arctic aerosols on net primary production - growth - were particularly important in light of the current race to exploit natural resources north of the Arctic circle.&lt;/p&gt;
  1407. &lt;p&gt;The extensive boreal forests of the north play a major role in shaping Earth&amp;rsquo;s carbon cycle and climate system. In the divergence problem, they have raised a red flag. Something up there is wrong and it should come as no surprise that, once again, our reckless misuse of our planet is high on the list of suspects for that.&lt;/p&gt;

  1683. <title>Pinning down climate change's role in extreme weather</title>
  1684. <description>&lt;p class="greenbox"&gt;This is a&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.theclimatebrink.com/p/pinning-down-climate-changes-role?utm_source=post-email-title&amp;amp;publication_id=1593097&amp;amp;post_id=143265032&amp;amp;utm_campaign=email-post-title&amp;amp;isFreemail=true&amp;amp;token=eyJ1c2VyX2lkIjozNjY5MjgyLCJwb3N0X2lkIjoxNDMyNjUwMzIsImlhdCI6MTcxNDA2NDU0NSwiZXhwIjoxNzE2NjU2NTQ1LCJpc3MiOiJwdWItMTU5MzA5NyIsInN1YiI6InBvc3QtcmVhY3Rpb24ifQ.t1t1uCfY6L5F1bUbgivQzrBcTB97HrDR2Ebv-s2DLt0&amp;amp;r=26n8i&amp;amp;triedRedirect=true&amp;amp;utm_medium=email"&gt;re-post from The Climate Brink by Andrew Dessler&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  1685. &lt;p&gt;In the wake of any unusual weather event, someone inevitably asks, &amp;ldquo;Did climate change cause this?&amp;rdquo; In the most literal sense, that answer is almost always no. Climate change is never the sole cause of hurricanes, heat waves, droughts, or any other disaster, because weather variability always plays a primary role in the genesis of the events.&lt;/p&gt;
  1686. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;However, climate change can make these events more intense and, given the&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a rel="" href="https://www.theclimatebrink.com/p/why-are-climate-impacts-escalating"&gt;non-linearities in the damages&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;, this can vastly increase the damage and misery from extreme weather. So quantifying the role of climate change is therefore of great interest.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  1690. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;To do this, scientists turn to&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;a rel="" href="https://www.cell.com/one-earth/fulltext/S2590-3322(20)30247-5"&gt;extreme event attribution&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;studies. These rely on three separate lines of evidence. The first is the observational record: If you have good observations of the climate over a long enough period, the data set can be statistically analyzed to determine whether the event in question is becoming more frequent as the climate warms.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  1691. &lt;!--more--&gt;
  1692. &lt;p&gt;But correlation does not prove causality, so you need the second line of evidence: a physical understanding of why a particular extreme is getting worse as the climate warms. It should be obvious to readers of this substack why, in a warmer world, we expect to get more frequent heat waves. This physical understanding adds to our con?dence that climate change is a factor in the occurrence of heat waves.&lt;/p&gt;
  1693. &lt;p&gt;Finally, we look to computer simulations of the climate. The most common approach is to produce two different simulations of the climate: One simulation is of the real world, so it includes increasing greenhouse gases and a warming climate. The other simulation is what&amp;rsquo;s known as a counterfactual world &amp;mdash; an imaginary world in which humans are not adding greenhouse gases to the atmosphere, so the climate is not warming. We compare the simulations to see if the extreme we&amp;rsquo;re investigating occurs more frequently in the warmer world.&lt;/p&gt;
  1694. &lt;p&gt;If we have all three lines of evidence, we can be confident that the event in question is connected to climate change. Essentially all heat waves fall into this category. On the other hand, we have zero lines of evidence for tornado outbreaks, so we don&amp;rsquo;t really have anything to say about how climate change is affecting those.&lt;/p&gt;

  1697. &lt;em&gt;the NYT is wrong, although they did&amp;nbsp;&lt;a rel="" href="https://x.com/jswatz/status/1421123005690875911?s=20"&gt;issue a correction&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;after I complained&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  1698. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Given this, was the rainfall in Dubai in mid-April turbocharged by climate change? Luckily, the World Weather Attribution project has already&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a rel="" href="https://www.worldweatherattribution.org/heavy-precipitation-hitting-vulnerable-communities-in-the-uae-and-oman-becoming-an-increasing-threat-as-the-climate-warms/"&gt;weighed in&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;. When we look for the three pillars, we find:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  1699. &lt;ul&gt;
  1700. &lt;li&gt;
  1701. &lt;p&gt;There is indeed a trend in intense precipitation in the region.&lt;/p&gt;
  1702. &lt;/li&gt;
  1703. &lt;li&gt;
  1704. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;We have a&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a rel="" href="https://www.pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pnas.0907610106"&gt;physical understanding&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;of why extreme precipitation gets more intense as the climate warms.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  1705. &lt;/li&gt;
  1706. &lt;li&gt;
  1707. &lt;p&gt;However, the climate models currently do not reproduce the observed trend in intense precipitation.&lt;/p&gt;
  1708. &lt;/li&gt;
  1709. &lt;/ul&gt;
  1710. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;So we have two of three planks for confident attribution &amp;mdash; and we all know that two out of three ain&amp;rsquo;t bad&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="footnote-hovercard-target"&gt;&lt;a id="footnote-anchor-1-143265032" class="footnote-anchor" rel="" href="https://www.theclimatebrink.com/p/pinning-down-climate-changes-role?utm_source=post-email-title&amp;amp;publication_id=1593097&amp;amp;post_id=143265032&amp;amp;utm_campaign=email-post-title&amp;amp;isFreemail=true&amp;amp;r=26n8i&amp;amp;triedRedirect=true&amp;amp;utm_medium=email#footnote-1-143265032" target="_self" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM"&gt;1&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;. But it&amp;rsquo;s also not as strong as we&amp;rsquo;d like, so I conclude that we have weak-to-moderate confidence that global warming contributed to the Dubai flooding.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  1711. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Attributions that come out a few days after the event are necessarily preliminary and I expect more analyses will show up in the peer-reviewed literature in the next year or two. Such analysis may increase our confidence in a climate connection, or it may not. One thing we can be confident about, though, is that&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a rel="" href="https://www.theclimatebrink.com/p/a-primer-on-cloud-seeding"&gt;it wasn&amp;rsquo;t cloud seeding&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  1712. &lt;p&gt;Regardless of the outcome of this event&amp;rsquo;s attribution, rest assured that climate change is making all sorts of extreme weather events more severe.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

  1717. <title>2024 SkS Weekly Climate Change &amp; Global Warming News Roundup #17</title>
  1718. <description>&lt;div class="greenbox" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;A listing of 31 news and opinion articles we found interesting and shared on social media during the past week: Sun, April 21, 2024 thru Sat, April 27, 2024.&lt;/div&gt;
  1719. &lt;hr /&gt;
  1720. &lt;h3&gt;Story of the week&lt;img class="figureright" src="https://skepticalscience.com/pics/2024-04-27-192801_1366x768_scrot.png" alt="Screen capture of CarbonBrief news item." width="320" height="158" /&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  1721. &lt;p&gt;Anthropogenic climate change may be the ultimate &lt;a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaggy_dog_story" target="_blank"&gt;shaggy dog story&lt;/a&gt;&amp;mdash; but with a twist, because here endless subplots definitely depend upon one central element in the unfolding drama of our grand physics accident: the dominant story mechanic is that we're changing Earth's climate.&amp;nbsp;This leads to outcomes. One way of seeing this is via the abstraction of statistics, while another perspective is that of individual experiences each of which is only an anecdote but together lead us back to statistics. Our story of the week is&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.carbonbrief.org/about-us/" target="_blank"&gt;Carbon Brief's&lt;/a&gt; annual summary&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.carbonbrief.org/state-of-the-climate-2024-off-to-a-record-warm-start/" target="_blank"&gt;State of the&amp;nbsp;&lt;span id="skstip16" class="skstip beginner disabled"&gt;climate&lt;/span&gt;: 2024 off to a record-warm start&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  1722. &lt;blockquote&gt;
  1723. &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;This year is shaping up to either match or surpass 2023 as the hottest year on record.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  1724. &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Global temperatures have been exceptionally high over the past three months &amp;ndash;&amp;nbsp;at around 1.6C above&amp;nbsp;&lt;a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.carbonbrief.org/challenge-defining-pre-industrial-era/" target="_blank"&gt;pre-industrial levels&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;ndash;&amp;nbsp;following the peak of current&amp;nbsp;&lt;a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.carbonbrief.org/interactive-much-el-nino-affect-global-temperature/" target="_blank"&gt;El Ni&amp;ntilde;o&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;event at the start of 2024.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  1725. &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;The past 10 months have all set new all-time monthly temperature records, though the margin by which new records have been set has fallen from around 0.3C last year to 0.1C over the first three months of 2024.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  1726. &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;April 2024 is on track to extend this streak to 11 record months in a row.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  1727. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  1728. &lt;p&gt;Author Zeke Hausfather continues this informative summary by delivering a complete numerical rundown of where we stand with regard to global surface temperature. In sum we're we're living a spike.&amp;nbsp;Our shock is belated.&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.theclimatebrink.com/p/how-extreme-was-the-earths-temperature" target="_blank"&gt;Expert opinion&lt;/a&gt; suggests&amp;nbsp;we're&amp;nbsp; experiencing another wiggle in a upward-trending graph. We've seen this before in historical records, only less remarked given we're only now having our first brush with &lt;span&gt;1.5&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;deg;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;C of overall warming.&amp;nbsp; In any case, the directed herky jerky plot of global warming inevitably unfolds a bevy of subplots exemplified by other stories from this week's roundup, "anecdotes" in the grand scheme of global temperature records:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  1800. <title>Fact Brief - Is Antarctica gaining land ice?</title>
  1801. <description>&lt;p class="bluebox"&gt;&lt;img class="figureleft" src="https://skepticalscience.com/pics/Gigafact-Fact-Brief-Banner-250px.jpg" alt="FactBrief" width="248" height="44" /&gt;Skeptical Science is partnering with&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://gigafact.org/" target="_blank"&gt;Gigafact&lt;/a&gt; to produce fact briefs &amp;mdash; bite-sized fact checks of trending claims. This fact brief was written by Sue Bin Park in collaboration with members from our Skeptical Science team. You can submit claims you think need checking via &lt;a href="https://gigafact.org/tipline?org_id=1813" target="_blank"&gt;the tipline&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  1802. &lt;h3&gt;Is Antarctica gaining land ice?&lt;/h3&gt;
  1803. &lt;p&gt;&lt;img class="figureleft zoomable" src="https://skepticalscience.com/pics/Gigafact-Fact-Brief-No-200px.jpg" alt="no" width="200" height="59" /&gt;While Antarctic sea ice varies seasonally, the continent's land ice has continued to melt at an increasing pace.&lt;/p&gt;
  1804. &lt;p&gt;Sea ice forms during the Antarctic winter and retreats during the warmer months. Such freeze-thaw cycles have no impact on sea levels since they happen within the ocean. However, Antarctic land ice has seen a net decrease, resulting in a significant increase in fresh water flowing into the sea. That does affect global sea levels.&lt;/p&gt;
  1805. &lt;p&gt;The behavior of Antarctic land ice varies from region to region. In particular, the West Antarctic Peninsula has seen drastic ice retreat. On the other hand, East Antarctica's land ice has remained relatively stable to date. But if global warming crosses a specific threshold, serious loss is expected to occur. The planet has already moved a third of the way towards that threshold and will pass it within a century, if fossil fuel burning continues unabated.&lt;/p&gt;
