The 7th edition of the National Intelligence Council’s Global Trends report. Published every four years since 1997, Global Trends assesses the key trends and uncertainties that will shape the strategic environment for the United States during the next two decades.
Over the past decade or so, a scientific debate has emerged around whether rapid Arctic warming could be affecting extreme weather in the mid-latitudes. Much of this work focuses on the jet stream – the narrow current of strong winds encircling the globe around 40-50 degrees North.
For over half a century, worldwide growth in affluence has continuously increased resource use and pollutant emissions far more rapidly than these have been reduced through better technology. The affluent citizens of the world are responsible for most environmental impacts and are central to any future prospect of retreating to safer environmental conditions. We summarise the evidence and present possible solution approaches. Any transition towards sustainability can only be effective if far-reaching lifestyle changes complement technological advancements. However, existing societies, economies and cultures incite consumption expansion and the structural imperative for growth in competitive market economies inhibits necessary societal change. Current environmental impact mitigation neglects over-consumption from affluent citizens as a primary driver. The authors highlight the role of bottom-up movements to overcome structural economic growth imperatives spurring consumption by changing structures and culture towards safe and just systems.
ve enough to lead the way, and those wise enough to follow the path to a sustainable, equitable, Canada. Canadian Climate Challenge is here to aggregate all of the climate solutions confronting our climate crisis into one accessible platform.
A research paper concluding that climate-induced collapse is now inevitable, was recently rejected by anonymous reviewers of an academic journal. It has been released directly by the Professor who wrote it, to promote discussion of the necessary deep adaptation to climate chaos. "I am releasing this paper immediately, directly, because I can’t wait any longer…
IPCC special report on the impacts of global warming of 1.5 °C above pre-industrial levels and related global greenhouse gas emission pathways, in the context of strengthening the global response to the threat of climate change, sustainable development, and efforts to eradicate poverty.
The purpose of this study is to examine the national security consequences of climate change. A dozen of the nation’s most respected retired admirals and generals have served as a Military Advisory Board to study how climate change could affect our nation’s security over the next 30 to 40 years—the time frame for developing new military capabilities.
The long read: How an extreme libertarian tract predicting the collapse of liberal democracies – written by Jacob Rees-Mogg’s father – inspired the likes of Peter Thiel to buy up property across the Pacific
Project Drawdown is the most comprehensive plan ever proposed to reverse global warming. We gathered a qualified and diverse group of researchers from around the world to identify, research, and model the 100 most substantive, existing solutions to address climate change. What was uncovered is a path forward that can roll back global warming within thirty years.
Selbst Experten sind verblüfft: In Chile haben Forscher Aufnahmen veröffentlicht, die im Zeitraffer zeigen, wie dramatisch der Gletscher "Jorge Montt" schmilzt. Zwischen Februar 2010 und Januar 2011 ging die Gletscherzunge um einen ganzen Kilometer zurück. Grund ist vor allem die Erderwärmung.
Immer mehr Staaten verzerren ihre Emissionswerte. Die "Rechenmethoden" sind oft politisch motiviert, die Tricks vielfältig, die Folgen für die Klimaverhandlungen fatal.
The NOAA Stratospheric Ozone webpage is a one stop website for access to real-time as well as historical stratospheric ozone products, descriptions of instruments used to detect ozone, and of the organizations involved in collecting and archiving stratospheric ozone data. Information is also provided regarding some of the most frequently asked questions as well as recent stratospheric ozone press releases and media contact resources.
Spring in the Arctic now arrives about two weeks earlier than a decade ago because the snow is melting earlier, say researchers. On average, these signs of spring were happening 14.5 days earlier in 2005 than in 1996 (30 days for the wolf spider & some sp
