まとめ

地球温暖化が2.7°Cに達すると北極は劇的に変化し極端な気温や氷の無い夏永久凍土が失われるでしょう温暖化を制限することで生態系の破壊やインフラへの損害を大幅に削減できます

科学分野:

気候科学
北極研究
環境科学

背景:

現在の国家気候目標 (国家決定貢献またはNDC) は,地球温暖化2.7°Cを予測しています.
この温暖化レベルは,温暖化を1.5°Cまたは2°C以下に制限するというパリ協定の目標を大幅に超えています.

研究の目的:

地球温暖化2.7°Cが北極に及ぼす予測される地質物理的,生態学的影響を検討する.
生態系の破壊やインフラへの被害の可能性を強調する
減量対策の効果を評価する

主な方法:

既存の科学文献と気候予測のレビュー
温度,海氷,氷床の融解,永久凍土などの地質学的変化の分析
環境とインフラへの影響の評価

主要な成果:

温暖化が2.7°Cに達すると北極は年中極端な温度となり長い夏の間氷のない北極海となりグリーンランドの融解面積は4倍になり工業化以前の永久凍土の面積は半分になります
これらの変化は現在の認識を超えた変化を示しています.

結論:

現在のNDCの下での予測される北極の変化は深刻で変革的だ.
温暖化を制限する世界的な取り組みが強化されれば,生態系破壊とインフラ被害を大幅に減らすことが可能になる.
緊急かつ強化された気候緩和は北極の保全に不可欠です

Global Climate Change

24.2K

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?

18.3K

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.

Radiation: Applications

1.1K

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.

Threats to Biodiversity

22.1K

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...
