Resumen
El calentamiento global ya ha aumentado las temperaturas en 1.0°C. Limitar el calentamiento a 1,5 °C, en lugar de 2,0 °C, es crucial para los ecosistemas, la salud humana y las economías, especialmente en los países en desarrollo.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Ciencias del clima
- Ciencias del medio ambiente
- Salud global
Sus antecedentes:
- Las concentraciones de gases de efecto invernadero en la atmósfera han aumentado, lo que ha provocado un aumento de 1,0 °C de la temperatura media global de la superficie por encima de los niveles preindustriales.
- El Informe Especial del Grupo Intergubernamental de Expertos sobre el Cambio Climático (IPCC) sobre el calentamiento global de 1,5 °C destaca los riesgos significativos asociados con niveles más altos de calentamiento.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Revisar los riesgos adicionales del calentamiento global más allá de 1,5°C.
- Hacer hincapié en las implicaciones de diferentes niveles de calentamiento para los ecosistemas, la salud humana y las economías.
- Informar las decisiones políticas relativas a la mitigación del cambio climático.
Principales métodos:
- Revisión de la literatura y síntesis de las investigaciones existentes sobre el cambio climático.
- Análisis de los datos del Informe Especial del IPCC sobre el calentamiento global de 1,5°C.
- Evaluación de los riesgos relacionados con el clima en diversas geografías y ecosistemas.
Principales resultados:
- Limitar el calentamiento global a 1,5°C, en comparación con los 2,0°C, es esencial para preservar proporciones sustanciales de los ecosistemas.
- Se asocian beneficios sustanciales para la salud humana y las economías al limitar el calentamiento a 1,5°C.
- Los riesgos relacionados con el clima aumentan significativamente con mayores niveles de calentamiento, lo que afecta a las regiones vulnerables.
Conclusiones:
- Se necesitan medidas urgentes para limitar el calentamiento global a 1,5°C para evitar consecuencias graves.
- El logro de los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible de las Naciones Unidas se ve amenazado por la escalada de los riesgos climáticos, especialmente en los países de ingresos bajos y medios.
- Los resultados subrayan la importancia fundamental de la cooperación mundial en los esfuerzos de mitigación y adaptación al cambio climático.

Global Climate Change
28.6K
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?
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.

What is Homeostasis?
51.7K
Maintaining homeostasis requires that the body continuously maintain its internal conditions. Each physiological condition has a particular set point, from body temperature to blood pressure to levels of certain nutrients. A set point is the physiological value around which the normal range fluctuates. A normal range is a restricted set of values that is optimally healthful and stable. For example, the set point for normal human body temperature is approximately 37°C (98.6°F).

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.

Requirements for Human Life
12.4K
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.

Temperature and Thermal Equilibrium
9.0K
Heat and temperature are essential concepts for everyone every day. The study of heat and temperature is part of an area of physics known as thermodynamics. It is not always easy to distinguish heat and temperature.
The concept of temperature has evolved from the common concepts of hot and cold. The scientific definition of temperature explains more than just our sense of hot and cold. Temperature is operationally defined as the quantity measured with a thermometer. Furthermore, temperature is...
