Why delaying climate action now means higher seas by 2100 – new research If all glaciers melt, sea level will rise by about 24cm. If the polar ice sheets melt, sea level will rise by more than 65m; almost 300 times more https://theconversation.com/why-delaying-climate-action-now-means-higher-seas-by-2100-new-research-272290 #ClimateChange #GlobalWarming #UpheavalClimate #ClimateInstability #ClimateDisruption #MassAtrocity #pollution #ecology #environment #climate

In areas where forest cover dips below 60%, the temperature can jump by up to 3°C (about 5.4°F) during the dry season. At the same time: -Evapotranspiration drops by 12% -Precipitation falls by 25% compared to untouched forest zones If the tree cover goes below 40%, the temperature increase goes up to 4°C (7.2°F) compared to intact forests https://www.futura-sciences.com/en/cutting-down-forests-changes-the-weather-instantly-the-shocking-truth-revealed_30731/ #ClimateChange #GlobalWarming #UpheavalClimate #ClimateInstability #ClimateDisruption #pollution #ecology #environment #climate
