This brings us to another oft -
mentioned impact of global warming: sea level rise.
Not exact matches
... incomplete and misleading because it 1) omits any
mention of several
of the most important aspects
of the potential relationships between hurricanes and
global warming, including rainfall, sea level, and storm surge; 2) leaves the impression that there is no significant connection between recent climate change caused by human activities and hurricane characteristics and
impacts; and 3) does not take full account
of the significance
of recently identified trends and variations in tropical storms in causing
impacts as compared to increasing societal vulnerability.
A lot
of folks here, and many, many were
impacted,
mentioned global warming.
For more on the terrestrial foods topic, see my detailed discussion in this previous post, and this recent (March 30) ScienceNews report on yet another, largely anecdotal «polar bears resort to bird eggs because
of declining sea ice» story (see photo below, based on a new paper by Prop and colleagues), which was also covered March 31 at the DailyMail («Polar bears are forced to raid seabird nests as Arctic sea ice melts — eating more than 200 eggs in two hours,» with lots
of hand - wringing and sea ice hype but little
mention of the fact that there are many more bears now than there were in the early 1970s around Svalbard or that the variable, cyclical, AMO (not
global warming) has had the largest
impact on sea ice conditions in the Barents Sea).
E.g., research assumes greenhouse gas emissions cause
warming without explicitly stating humans are the cause»... carbon sequestration in soil is important for mitigating
global climate change» (4a) No position Does not address or
mention the cause
of global warming (4b) Uncertain Expresses position that human's role on recent
global warming is uncertain / undefined «While the extent
of human - induced
global warming is inconclusive...» (5) Implicit rejection Implies humans have had a minimal
impact on
global warming without saying so explicitly E.g., proposing a natural mechanism is the main cause
of global warming»... anywhere from a major portion to all
of the
warming of the 20th century could plausibly result from natural causes according to these results» (6) Explicit rejection without quantification Explicitly minimizes or rejects that humans are causing
global warming»... the
global temperature record provides little support for the catastrophic view
of the greenhouse effect» (7) Explicit rejection with quantification Explicitly states that humans are causing less than half
of global warming «The human contribution to the CO2 content in the atmosphere and the increase in temperature is negligible in comparison with other sources
of carbon dioxide emission»»
The high - altitude meadows are rarely
mentioned in discussions
of global warming, but the changes to this ground have a profound
impact on Tibetan politics and the world's ecological security.
As I have provided clear reasons to not treat the fact that the globally poorest will suffer most from climate change as a reason to not reduce fossil fuel use, we are now only discussing whether or not
mentioning the disproportionate
impact of global warming on the poor is more or less likely to persuade people to modify their behaviour and reduce emissions.
