In recent years, activists, scientists, and journalists have started a variety of podcasts dedicated to helping people better understand climate change and the natural world. Here are seven podcasts on the subject that we recommend.
28 Ιαν 2019 · While the understanding of the role that biodiversity at all levels, including a diversity of habitats, can play in mitigating and adapting to climate change is growing rapidly, policy...
Climate change science seeks to understand the physical, chemical, biological and geological processes, and the interactions among these processes, that produce climate. The scales of interest range from local to global and from weeks or months to millions of years. Changes in climate, both temporally and spatially,
• Global average temperature was 0.98°C (1.76 °F) higher in 2020 than in the late 1800s.15 • The warmest year on record since records began in 1880 was 2016, with 2020 ranking second. In 2020 global average land temperatures experienced a record high, while 2016 global ocean temperatures remain the highest on record.
25 Ιουλ 2006 · 2.1 THE NEED FOR ADAPTATION The major impacts and threats of global warming are widespread (Figure II-1). Increasing ocean temperatures cause thermal expansion of the oceans and in combination with meltwater from land-based ice this is causing sea level rise. Sea levels rose during the 20th century by 0.17 metres.
• 90% of the extra heat associated with global warming has been taken up by the ocean (see box What are greenhouse gases? on page 6). The ocean is now warming faster than at any time in at least 11,000 years. • Sea level has risen globally by about 20 centimetres (approximately 8 inches) since 1900. It is rising
Scientists attribute the global warming trend observed since the mid-20 th century to the human expansion of the "greenhouse effect" — warming that results when the atmosphere traps heat radiating from Earth toward space.
