What is Climate?01:16

What is Climate?

18.8K
Climate refers to the prevailing weather conditions in a specific area over an extended period. As the saying goes, “Climate is what you expect. Weather is what you get.” Climate is influenced by geographic factors, such as latitude, terrain, and proximity to bodies of water.

Global Climate Change

24.7K
Throughout its ~4.5 billion year history, the Earth has experienced periods of warming and cooling. However, the current drastic increase in global temperatures is well outside of the Earth’s cyclic norms, and evidence for human-caused global climate change is compelling. Paleoclimatology, the study of ancient climate conditions, provides ample evidence for human-caused global climate change by comparing recent conditions with those in the past.

Threats to Biodiversity

22.9K
There have been five major extinction events throughout geological history, resulting in the elimination of biodiversity, followed by a rebound of species that adapted to the new conditions. In the current geological epoch, the Holocene, there is a sixth extinction event in progress. This mass extinction has been attributed to human activities and is thus provisionally called the Anthropocene. In 2019 the human population reached 7.7 billion people and is projected to comprise 10 billion by...

Requirements for Human Life01:26

Requirements for Human Life

10.3K
The Earth and its atmosphere have provided humans with air, water, and food, but these are not the only requirements for survival. Humans also require a specific range of temperature and pressure that the Earth and its atmosphere provides.
Oxygen
Atmospheric air is only about 20 percent oxygen, but that oxygen is a key component of the chemical reactions that keep the body alive, including the reactions that produce ATP. Brain cells are susceptible to a lack of oxygen because they require a...

Radiation: Applications

1.2K
The average temperature of Earth is the subject of much current discussion. Earth is in radiative contact with both the Sun and dark space; it receives almost all its energy from the radiation of the Sun and reflects some of it into outer space. Dark space is very cold, about 3 K, so Earth radiates energy into it. For instance, heat transfer occurs from soil and grasses, the rate of which can be so rapid that frost can occur on clear summer evenings, even in warm latitudes.
The average...

Area of Science:

  • Climate Science
  • Socioeconomics
  • Environmental Health

Background:

  • Future climate extremes are projected to exacerbate existing global inequalities.
  • Disparities in human exposure to climate-related hazards across income groups remain poorly understood.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the differential impacts of future floods, heatwaves, droughts, and compound hot-dry events on high- and low-income countries.
  • To analyze these impacts under various Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs).

Main Methods:

  • Utilized climate projection data and socioeconomic scenarios (SSPs).
  • Quantified human exposure to distinct extreme climate events.
  • Compared exposure levels between high- and low-income countries.

Main Results:

  • Low-income countries face more severe exposure to future extreme events, primarily due to population growth, not solely climate change.
  • Exposure inequality between high- and low-income nations decreases with increasing event severity.
  • Compound hot-dry events show greater overall impact but less pronounced exposure inequality compared to single events.

Conclusions:

  • Demographic factors, particularly population growth, are critical drivers of future exposure inequalities.
  • Targeted adaptation strategies are essential to mitigate socioeconomic risks from climate extremes.
  • Addressing both demographic trends and event dynamics is crucial for effective risk management.
