Global Climate Change01:50

Global Climate Change

28.7K
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.

What is Climate?01:16

What is Climate?

20.4K
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.

Threats to Biodiversity

26.5K
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...

Decreased Body Temperature01:29

Decreased Body Temperature

976
A decreased body temperature can occur in patients with hypothermia and frostbite. Heat loss with extended cold exposure overpowers the body's ability to create heat, resulting in hypothermia. Core temperature readings help classify hypothermia. Mild hypothermia is temperatures between 32 °C (89.6 °F) and 35°C (95 °F) and is caused by impaired thermoregulation. Moderate hypothermia is temperatures between 28 C (82.4 °F) and 32 °C (89.6 °F) caused by...

The Carbon Cycle01:14

The Carbon Cycle

43.1K
Carbon is the basis of all organic matter on Earth, and is recycled through the ecosystem in two primary processes: one in which carbon is exchanged among living organisms, and one in which carbon is cycled over long periods of time through fossilized organic remains, weathering of rocks, and volcanic activity. Human activities, including increased agricultural practices and the burning of fossil fuels, has greatly affected the balance of the natural carbon cycle.

Area of Science:

  • Climate Science
  • Environmental Policy
  • Global Economics

Background:

  • The Paris Agreement aims to limit global warming, but current national climate pledges (Nationally Determined Contributions) show a significant ambition-action gap.
  • Despite repeated increases in climate pledges, collective ambition remains insufficient to meet the 1.5°C or even 2.0°C warming targets.
  • Existing global models indicate that even full implementation of current pledges will not achieve the Paris Agreement's temperature goals.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To quantify the remaining global warming gap considering full implementation of current climate pledges.
  • To assess the impact of ongoing policy inaction on future emissions and warming levels.
  • To analyze regional disparities in climate pledge implementation and identify barriers faced by low-income countries.

Main Methods:

  • Integration of national climate pledges with global climate and economic models.
  • Calculation of projected warming under full pledge implementation scenarios.
  • Estimation of the cumulative emissions shortfall (in GtCO2e) due to policy inaction.
  • Comparative analysis of climate action and capacity between high-income and low-income nations.

Main Results:

  • Full implementation of current climate pledges is projected to result in approximately 1.7°C of global warming, missing the 1.5°C target.
  • Ongoing policy inaction is expected to lead to a cumulative shortfall of 505 GtCO2e in mitigation efforts.
  • Policy inaction further increases projected warming by nearly 0.3°C, significantly reducing the window to stay below 2.0°C.
  • A critical disparity exists, with high-income nations often meeting modest targets while low-income countries face capacity constraints.

Conclusions:

  • Persistent inequities in responsibility and resources between nations are undermining global climate effectiveness.
  • Closing the ambition-credibility gap requires urgent enhanced international cooperation and financial support.
  • Ensuring a viable climate action pathway for all nations is crucial for achieving global climate goals.
