Fires require three key ingredients: ignition source, fuel and oxygen. Wildfires do not burn spontaneously, because the planets are now 1.2°C warmer than in 1850. First there must be an ignition source. [emphasis, links added] These can be natural, such as lightning or artificial, such as fireworks, sparks or arson. Ninety-seven percent of the fires between 1992 and 2012 were human ignition sourcesAccording to a study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The Mediterranean is no exception. Although the exact cause of the Los Angeles fire has not been determined, lightning has been ruled out. Whether…

The recent BBC article, “Climate Change: Panama Community Escape from the Drowning Island” claims that sea levels rise in sea levels are swallowing Panama’s Cartí Sugdupu Island due to climate change. This is wrong. [emphasis, links added] The reality is that the island’s residents are not forced to relocate due to the increase in the ocean, but are overcrowded, poor infrastructure and lack of resources, which has nothing to do with climate change. Furthermore, real-world examples and peer-reviewed research contradict the notion and conception that islands disappear due to rising oceans. Instead, as time goes by, many islands are growing,…

No one knows Paul Homewood H/T Dennis Ambler From Reuters: BRUSSELS, Feb 10 (Reuters) – Many polluter countries around the world missed the UN deadline as efforts to curb global warming are under pressure . Nearly 200 countries signed the Paris Agreement, facing Monday's deadline, submitting new national climate plans to the United Nations and clarifying their plans to cut emissions by 2035. As of Monday morning, many of the world's largest polluters, including China, India and the EU, have not done so. “The public has the right to expect their government to have a big reaction to the fact…

context Cities in India experience unprecedented warming at an average rate of 0.53°C per decade, while temperature rises exceed 37.73% of non-urban areas[1]. This rapid temperature rise increases the possibility of more frequent and intense extreme weather events. Implementing strong urban adaptation measures to increase resilience is crucial. Local governments must promote these efforts and ensure sustainable urban development. Urban Local Institutions (ULBs) are the first point of contact to openly provide social products. But, like in other regions in developing countries, India's ULB is often under-resourced to take appropriate climate action. There are no specific estimates for urban adaptation…

From Notrickszone By P Gosselin Frank BosseVery happy here(Translation, edited by P. Gosselin) The scientist at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact (PIK) is an oceanographer who has studied physics before his professional training. He is therefore familiar with thermodynamics and its second law, which states that with each change of the state, “diseases” increase, also known as entropy. This is reflected in warming. Growth entropy is the basic feature of our universe. Everything tends to be confused without an investment job. You may be familiar with this phenomenon. The growing entropy also prevents permanent motion of the machine. Each…

At least theoretically, scientific publishing has always been proud of rigorousness…at least theoretically. Peer review should act as a firewall to ensure that only results that meet strict statistical and methodological standards can make it a prestigious journal. [emphasis, links added] I know this process was witnessed by their own eyes, and they spent years reviewing academic papers and funding advice. Statistical significance is the bedrock of scientific validity, and there is no result, and the result is meaningless. I personally rejected many manuscripts that failed to meet these standards, Publication uncertain or statistically trivial results can only confuse the…

The fight to fight climate change is at a critical moment. The Alliance of International and Alliances aims to enable financial institutions, companies and governments to drive financial institutions, companies and governments toward clean and climate-resilient goals to face new and rapid development challenges. picture Net Zero Asset Manager Initiative (NZAM) and Net Zero Banking Alliance (NZBA) Under scrutiny, key players withdraw from political headwinds and threats of legal action, especially in the United States. While these setbacks highlight the sensitivity of financial institutions to political shifts and lobby activities, they also highlight the overview and urgency of these alliance…
