"'Tipping points' could exacerbate climate crisis, scientists fear"

Depois do relatório de ontem, há quem tenha mais receios ainda.

Key dangers largely left out of the IPCC special report on 1.5C of warming are raising alarm among some scientists who fear we may have underestimated the impacts of humans on the Earth’s climate.

"We have 12 years to limit climate change catastrophe, warns UN"

Urgent changes needed to cut risk of extreme heat, drought, floods and poverty, says IPCC

"How soon will the 'ice apocalypse' come?" - Eric Holthaus

An emotive article on the ‘ice apocalypse’ by Eric Holthaus describes a terrifying vision of catastrophic sea level rise this century caused by climate change and the collapse of the Antarctic ice sheet. But how likely is this – and how soon could such a future be here?

"Climate Change Fingerprints in Europe’s Record Hot 2017 Summer "

• The summer of 2017 was marked by extreme heat in Southern Europe.
• Scientists with World Weather Attribution (WWA) conducted a multi-method attribution analysis to assess whether and to what extent human-caused climate change played a role in both the record hot summer (June–August) across the Euro-Mediterranean region and three-day heat waves such as the early August heat wave dubbed Lucifer.
• In many towns and cities across the Euro-Mediterranean region there is now around a 1 in 10 chance every year for heat waves at least as hot as those in the summer of 2017.
• The team found that climate change increased the chances of seeing a summer as hot as 2017 byat least a factor of 10 and a heat wave like Lucifer by at least a factor of four since 1900.
• If greenhouse gas emissions continue to increase in the atmosphere, a summer like that of 2017 will be normal in the Euro-Mediterranean region by the middle of the century.

Warming climate makes it ‘inevitable’ that contiguous US will lose all of its glaciers within decades, according to scientists

"‘Beyond the extreme’: Scientists marvel at ‘increasingly non-natural’ Arctic warmth"

The Arctic is so warm and has been this warm for so long that scientists are struggling to explain it and are in disbelief. The climate of the Arctic is known to oscillate wildly, but scientists say this warmth is so extreme that humans surely have their hands in it and may well be changing how it operates.

"Global Warming and the Future of Humanity: An Interview With Noam Chomsky and Graciela Chichilnisky"

How serious of an issue is climate change? Does global warming really threaten human civilization? Can it be reversed, or is it already late?

In this exclusive interview for Truthout, two scholars, Noam Chomsky, one of the world's leading public intellectuals, and Graciela Chichilnisky, a renowned economist and climate change authority who wrote and designed the carbon market of the Kyoto Protocol, concur on a few key points. First of all, global warming and climate change constitute the greatest challenge facing humanity, and may pose an even greater threat to our species than that of nuclear weapons. Secondly, the operations of the capitalist world economy are at the core of the climate change threat because of over-reliance on fossil fuels and a perverse sense of economic values. Thirdly, the world needs to adopt alternative energy systems as quickly as possible. And finally, it is crucial to explore technologies to assist us in reversing climate change -- as time is running out.

"'The Economic System We Have Created Global Warming'"

Can we still stop global warming? Only if we radically change our capitalist system, argues author Naomi Klein. In an interview with SPIEGEL, she explains why the time has come to abandon small steps for a radical new approach.
