Climate change is usually discussed in terms of rising temperatures. But scientists often use a different measure, known as “equilibrium climate sensitivity”. This is defined as the global mean warming caused by a doubling of pre-industrial carbon dioxide (CO₂) levels in the atmosphere. We use this measure to describe the range of potential temperature increases on longer timescales, and to compare how well climate models reproduce observed warming.

South Africa is feeling the impacts of global warming. Heat is frequent and more intense. Human-induced climate change made the severe 2015–2017 drought three to six times more likely. But climate change also doubled the likelihood of the heavy rain that hit parts of South Africa in April 2022, which led to 400 people being killed and many thousands forced to flee their homes.

Last week, I visited Yosemite National Park and walked along a gorgeous trail surrounded by snow-blanketed sequoia trees. Beyond the horizon of pine trees to the south lies the Sierra National Forest, and beyond the rocky horizon to the north lies the Stanislaus National Forest. Further beyond these national forests lies the rest of the expansive Sierra Nevada Mountain Range, spanning 400 miles.

In my previous life as a graduate student, I worked with hydroeconomic modeling. I recently had the opportunity to jump back into that type of research with colleagues from the University of California Davis and Merced. If hydroeconomic modeling sounds like jargon, that’s because it is. In a nutshell, hydroeconomic modeling is a tool for water management.

Manufactured Climate Consensus Deemed False By Climate Scientist – ‘The Time For Debate Has Ended’Oplaneta ^ | 8/15/23 | Lilli Keeve Posted on by traderrob6There has been an «overwhelming scientific consensus» that global warming is being caused by humans, a statement supported by fact-check articles. However, many climate scientists have challenged this slogan in the past few years.

Últimamente me han preguntado mucho si California sigue en sequía. Esta pregunta surgió recientemente con la medida de acumulación de nieve en California por parte del estado. Mi respuesta como defensor del Derecho Humano al Agua es que la sequía no terminará hasta que todas las personas tengan acceso a agua potable. Los impactos de la sequía no se experimentan de manera uniforme en el estado y tampoco la recuperación de sus impactos.

California conoce bien los impactos del cambio climático. Con sequías e incendios forestales, aumento del nivel del mar e inundaciones, el estado ha sentido los efectos del cambio climático de diversas maneras. Una variable del clima se está volviendo de particular interés en California: el déficit de presión de vapor (VPD por sus singlas en inglés). El VPD tiene implicaciones de gran alcance para la salud y la seguridad de las personas, la conservación de los ecosistemas y la economía.
