178 Fossil Fuel Giants Have Already Locked In Centuries of Warming Global Warming

178 Fossil Fuel Giants Have Already Locked In Centuries of Warming

The vast majority of planet-warming emissions come from just 178 oil, gas, and cement companies known as the “carbon majors.” Even if these companies stopped emitting tomorrow, the carbon they’ve already spewed into the atmosphere will continue heating the planet for centuries to come. That’s according to a study published…

Net zero may not end climate inequality for poorer nations, research warns Global Warming

Net zero may not end climate inequality for poorer nations, research warns

The world’s poorest countries could remain among the hardest hit by global warming even after greenhouse gas emissions reach net zero, new research has found. The study, published in Environmental Research Letters, found temperatures have risen more sharply relative to historical ranges in tropical regions, where many lower-income countries are…

Early warning systems need alerts for non-rainfall triggers, says climate scientist Tapio Schneider Global Warming

Early warning systems need alerts for non-rainfall triggers, says climate scientist Tapio Schneider

Early warning systems need to be extended beyond rainfall events to include triggers of disasters such as the Nepal's flash floods -- even a few minutes of warning can help save the lives of people downstream, says climate scientist Tapio Schneider. Schneider, a professor of environmental science and engineering at…
