"Atmospheric rivers (ARs) are narrow, elongated regions of intense atmospheric moisture transport that are responsible for a large proportion of midlatitude extreme precipitation. [...] ARs will intensify due to warmer air’s ability to hold more moisture."

(We will have a severe problem much sooner me thinks - like in the coming 5-10 years - because of food insecurity, famines. Last year 40% global crop loss was calculated for 2025 due to weather disasters alone. There's no sense in calculating some imaginary GDP if there's nothing left to eat.)

"A new paper[...]shows how the plant diversity changed in different regions due to the global average temperature rise of 10C.[...] massive volcanic eruptions[...]caused the world's largest die-off to the biosphere.
Today, we are the volcano..."

"Marine heat waves are often overlooked despite their significant role in shaping our climate future. They are closely linked to global warming, as the oceans absorb over 90% of the excess heat generated by greenhouse gas emissions."

Yupp, that's what I'm saying for ages now: Learn to grow your own. No excuses.To grow veggies from scraps, in pots, in cardboard boxes, vertical gardening, guerilla gardening, whatever, just learn and practice it, to be in the know.

"The experts emphasize that the world is not just at 1.5°C but committed to far exceed this threshold due to lag effects and weakening carbon sinks."

"GHGs warm the Earth surface and troposphere [...] and cool the stratosphere, mesosphere, and thermosphere and thus shrink them. This decreases the density of the air at these high altitudes, thus reducing friction and drag that LEO satellites experience."

"Changes in crevasse volume correlate strongly with antecedent discharge changes, indicating that the acceleration of ice flow in Greenland forces significant increases in crevassing on a timescale of less than five years."
#FYI #PaulBeckwith video lecture and literature review
""Each boreal summer (summer in the northern hemisphere) the vegetation springs to life and captures huge amounts of CO2, drawing down the global atmospheric levels about 7 ppm. This so-called natural sequestration peaked in 2008, and has been declining since"
