Corporate lobbyists are poisoning the Earth by poisoning our lawmakers' priorities against us. We are almost certainly going to hit 1.5 degrees Celsius warming.
It's now all but guaranteed, according to a huge new report the U.N. just released. Already, we've raced past the 1 degree warming point, and are likely to hit 1.5 degrees within the next 10 years. Climate change has successfully pushed us to this point — and we as humans successfully pushed climate change to become the powerhouse that it is. 31 août 2021 Hurricane Ida shows New Orleans trying to police its way out of disaster. “We have authority by martial law to shoot looters,” Captain James Scott of the New Orleans Police department, or NOPD, told more than two dozen officers just days after Hurricane Katrina ripped through Southeastern Louisiana in 2005.
In the ensuing weeks, New Orleans police officers shot at least 11 residents, killing five. According to an investigation by ProPublica in 2010, officers were not only given orders to “shoot looters,” but also to “do what you have to do” to “take back the city.” To many residents, taking back the city appeared to have little to do with escorting stranded New Orleanians to safety. 31 août 2021 Hurricane Ida and the coming eviction crisis.
Hurricane Ida has battered one of the poorest regions of the country, driving floodwaters into neighborhoods along the Gulf Coast and those along the Mississippi River in Louisiana.
Its winds knocked trees through houses, and its rising waters sent people into their attics where they waited for rescue. Thousands will likely be without shelter for weeks or even months. A move by the Supreme Court last Thursday could make the struggle to find housing even worse. 30 août 2021 Hurricane Ida Deemed a 'Poster Child' for Climate Disaster as Storm Slams Louisiana.
More than a million Louisiana residents were without power Monday morning and at least one person was reportedly killed as Hurricane Ida pummeled the Gulf Coast of the United States, causing life-threatening flooding, lashing homes and buildings with powerful wind, and slamming the industry that some experts blamed for the catastrophic storm.
"As you watch from afar in horror, remember: it's fossil fuels. It's been fossil fuels for a very long time. " 30 août 2021 After Ida's Destruction, Sunrise Movement Urges Biden to Declare Climate Emergency. With search and rescue efforts underway and widespread power outages in the wake of Hurricane Ida barreling into the Louisiana coast Sunday as a Category 4 storm, the youth-led Sunrise Movement on Monday urged President Joe Biden to declare a climate emergency.
"We're done with thoughts and prayers and so are the communities of the Gulf South. We need action now. "—Varshini Prakash, Sunrise Movement. 30 août 2021 The science behind super-strong hurricanes like Ida. Less than a week ago, Hurricane Ida was known as Tropical Depression 9, a swirling mass of energy in the Caribbean Sea.
That mass developed into a powerful tropical storm last Thursday, by which time there was no mistaking what would happen next: Ida was on track to become a major hurricane. Forecasters knew this with almost complete certainty for one simple reason: the storm was on track to pass through the Gulf of Mexico, where sea surface temperatures are unusually high. 30 août 2021 ON EST DANS UNE CRISE GRAVISSIME. 29 août 2021 Le violent et extrêmement dangereux ouragan majeur Ida vers la Louisiane. 29 août 2021 Experts Warn of 'Potentially Catastrophic' Destruction as Hurricane Ida Reaches New Orleans. This is a developing story and may be updated.
Weather experts on Sunday said their worst-case-scenario predictions about Hurricane Ida, which damaged homes and knocked down trees in Cuba on Friday, appeared to be coming true as the tropical cyclone made its way towards New Orleans with winds rushing at 150 miles per hour. The hurricane made landfall Sunday afternoon in southeastern Louisiana.Thousands of people had evacuated on Saturday.
The National Hurricane Center warned the storm could bring "potentially catastrophic" damage from winds and a "life-threatening" storm surge in the coastal area, with destruction from flooding and other effects extending more than 100 miles inland. 30 aug. 2021 Ghostly satellite image captures the Arctic 'losing its soul' This story was originally published by Atlas Obscura and is reproduced here as part of the Climate Desk collaboration.
“We started hearing a noise, like breaking, or coins falling,” says Marco Tedesco, a climate scientist at Columbia University’s Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory. He makes a loud, sustained crunching sound, recreating what he and his team heard, years earlier, while doing fieldwork on the Greenland Ice Sheet. Below the surface of the ice near where they were standing, a flood had begun. 30 août 2021 Can a tiny clothing company force the shipping industry to clean up its act? Last month, the climate advocacy organizations Pacific Environment and Stand.earth released a report highlighting the hidden toll retail giants are taking on the planet by ferrying goods across the world on fossil-fuel-powered container ships.
This month, the Swiss outdoor clothing company Mammut took a small but “industry-leading” step toward addressing that problem. In early August, Mammut published a strategy document outlining its plans to reach net-zero carbon emissions across its operations by 2030. Buried in the 47-page report is a pledge to transport its goods on zero-emissions vessels by the end of the decade — a move climate campaigners believe to be a first for the retail sector. How exactly the company will achieve that goal is, at this point, uncertain: Currently, every single merchant vessel on the high seas burns fossil fuels. 25 août 2021 Atmospheric CO2 Levels Haven't Been This High in 800,000 Years: NOAA. Bolstering the case for meaningful climate action, a major report released Wednesday found that Earth's atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations and sea levels both hit record highs in 2020.
"This situation is urgent, but it's not hopeless. We have an opportunity to lead the global response in the fight against the climate crisis—we cannot afford to waste it. " 23 août 2021 Can burying power lines prevent California’s next big wildfire? On July 18, California’s Pacific Gas & Electric revealed that its electrical equipment might have sparked the Dixie Fire, a blaze that has since become the second-largest in the state’s history, torching 700,000 acres and destroying more than 1,200 structures. Three days later, PG&E, which emerged from bankruptcy last year after amassing some $30 billion worth of liabilities from wildfires, announced something more surprising: To prevent future blazes, the state’s largest utility plans to rip out 10,000 miles of overhead power lines in high fire risk areas and bury them underground.
The plan caps a years-long push by utilities to bury more power lines in the face of worsening weather and rising risks from climate change. PG&E’s announcement, nearly two years after its equipment sparked the deadly Camp Fire, was “a clear recognition that something has to change,” said Julie McNamara, a senior energy analyst at the Union of Concerned Scientists. Burying power lines isn’t a new idea. 9-23 août 2021 Les scientifiques du GIEC : « Le changement climatique s’accélère et s’intensifie » 21 août 2021 As disasters mount, central banks gird against threat of climate change. This story was originally published by Yale Environment 360 and is reproduced here as part of the Climate Desk collaboration.
Climate change is rattling the world’s central bankers. With unprecedented heat and wildfires in the American West and southern Europe, and record floods racing through German towns and Chinese megacities in recent weeks, fears are growing among regulators of a coming cascade of climate-induced economic blows potentially more far-reaching and intractable than the financial crash just over a decade ago. In the past two months, the central banks of the world’s five largest economies — the United States, China, the European Union, Japan, and the United Kingdom — have all raised the stakes in their demands for the commercial banks they regulate to make public the looming risks they face as wild weather takes hold. In June, the Bank of England launched mandatory disclosure of climate risks by big British banks, with the U.S. 20 août 2021 'Out of Control': Brazilian Amazon Deforestation Hits Highest Level in a Decade.
Encouraged by President Jair Bolsonaro, deforestation in Brazil's Amazon rainforest surged to its highest annual level in a decade over the past year, with researchers warning that the accelerated destruction of the critical carbon sink is imperiling the ability to keep planetary heating below the Paris climate agreement's 1.5ºC target. "Brazil is going against the global climate agenda that is seeking to urgently reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
"—Carlos Souza, Imazon Imazon, a Brazilian research institute whose mission is to promote conservation and sustainable development, reported Thursday that from August 2020 to July 2021, 10,476 square kilometers of Amazon rainforest were destroyed, a 57% increase over the previous 12-month period. "In July alone, 2,095 km² were deforested, 80% more than in the same month in 2020," said Imazon. "This area is larger than the city of São Paulo. " 20 août 2021 Nearly Half the World's Children at 'Extremely High Risk' for Facing Effects of Climate Crisis, Report Finds. On Friday, the third anniversary of climate campaigner Greta Thunberg's lone protest outside the Swedish Parliament, a global report revealed the scale of risks posed by the climate emergency for the world's children. The United Nations' agency for children's rights, UNICEF, introduced the first-ever Children's Climate Risk Index, which shows that nearly half of the world's children are at "extremely high risk" for being faced with dangerous effects of the planetary crisis.
