  2. Climate change - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_change

    Many climate change impacts have been observed in the first decades of the 21st century, with 2023 the warmest on record at +1.48 °C (2.66 °F) since regular tracking began in 1850. [ 19 ] [ 20 ] Additional warming will increase these impacts and can trigger tipping points , such as melting all of the Greenland ice sheet . [ 21 ]

  3. Effects of climate change - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_climate_change

    Some climate change effects: wildfire caused by heat and dryness, bleached coral caused by ocean acidification and heating, environmental migration caused by desertification, and coastal flooding caused by storms and sea level rise. Effects of climate change are well documented and growing for Earth's natural environment and human societies. Changes to the climate system include an overall ...

    Updated 2022 estimates show that even at a global average increase of 1.5 °C (2.7 °F) over pre-industrial temperatures, only 0.2% of the world's coral reefs would still be able to withstand marine heatwaves, as opposed to 84% being able to do so now, with the figure dropping to 0% at 2 °C (3.6 °F) warming and beyond.

    "Human-induced climate change underpins all of our day-to-day weather," he said. It's as if the weather foundation has been raised, he said. "The atmosphere is warmer, the oceans are warmer," he said.

  6. Tropical cyclones and climate change - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tropical_cyclones_and...

    Climate change affects tropical cyclones in a variety of ways: an intensification of rainfall and wind speed, an increase in the frequency of very intense storms and a poleward extension of where the cyclones reach maximum intensity are among the consequences of human-induced climate change. [1] [2] Tropical cyclones use warm, moist air as ...

  7. Ice–albedo feedback - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice–albedo_feedback

    Ice–albedo feedback is a climate change feedback, where a change in the area of ice caps, glaciers, and sea ice alters the albedo and surface temperature of a planet. Because ice is very reflective, it reflects far more solar energy back to space than open water or any other land cover. [1] It occurs on Earth, and can also occur on exoplanets ...

  8. Six Degrees: Our Future on a Hotter Planet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six_Degrees:_Our_Future_on...

    The first chapter describes the expected effects of climate change with one degree Celsius (1 °C) increase in average global temperature since pre-industrial times.. The second chapter describes the effects of two degrees average temperature and so forth until Chapter 6 which shows the expected effects of an increase of six Celsius degrees (6 °C) average global temperature.

  9. Economic analysis of climate change - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_analysis_of...

    The total economic impacts from climate change are difficult to estimate. In general, they increase the more the global surface temperature increases (see climate change scenarios). [3] Many effects of climate change are linked to market transactions and therefore directly affect metrics like GDP or inflation.
