Climate Change - Science topic
Climate Change is an any significant change in measures of climate (such as temperature, precipitation, or wind) lasting for an extended period (decades or longer). It may result from natural factors such as changes in the sun's intensity, natural processes within the climate system such as changes in ocean circulation, or human activities.

Energy is at the heart of the climate challenge – and key to the solution. A large chunk of the greenhouse gases that blanket the Earth and trap the sun’s heat are generated through energy production, by burning fossil fuels to generate electricity and heat.
Fossil fuels, such as coal, oil and gas, are by far the largest contributor to global climate change, accounting for over 75 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions and nearly 90 percent of all carbon dioxide emissions. The science is clear: to avoid the worst impacts of climate change, emissions need to be reduced by almost half by 2030 and reach net-zero by 2050. To achieve this, we need to end our reliance on fossil fuels and invest in alternative sources of energy that are clean, accessible, affordable, sustainable, and reliable. Renewable energy sources – which are available in abundance all around us, provided by the sun, wind, water, waste, and heat from the Earth – are replenished by nature and emit little to no greenhouse gases or pollutants into the air. Fossil fuels still account for more than 80 percent of global energy production, but cleaner sources of energy are gaining ground. About 29 percent of electricity currently comes from renewable sources.

How can we reduce the scale of predatory forestry, improve forest management processes and plans, systematically improve forest management so as to simultaneously preserve natural forest ecosystems and protect forest animals, many of which are already endangered, and increase the atmospheric uptake of CO2 by forest ecosystems, reduce the planet's greenhouse effect and slow down accelerating global warming?
International Day of Forests, which is celebrated annually on 21 March and was established by the UN General Assembly on 28 November 2012, is an opportunity to reflect on the systemic improvement of forest management in order to simultaneously preserve natural forest ecosystems, enhance the protection of biodiversity, the biosphere and the planet's climate. The celebration of the International Day of Forests aims to raise human awareness of the importance of forests for humans, including the crucial importance of forests in the context of protecting the planet's climate and biosphere. Taking into account the protection of the planet's climate, biosphere and biodiversity of natural ecosystems, it is urgently necessary to transform rabid forest management into rational, pro-climate and pro-environmental forest management. Forest management carried out within the framework of rational, pro-climate and pro-environmental forest management should be carried out in such a way that natural multi-species forest ecosystems are restored as much as possible instead of monocultures of homogeneous stands. When monocultures of forests based on a small number of tree species or even with the dominance of a single tree species are carried out, the incidence of various viral, fungal diseases and tree pests increases significantly. In addition, monocultures dominated by coniferous species are much more prone to the appearance and development of forest fires during the summer season. Tree monocultures are also unfavourable for the coexistence and development of many forest animal species that are found in natural, multi-species forest forests and primeval forests. Unfortunately, in terms of pseudo forest management, archaic forest management practices of monocultures based on a few tree species are still in use, which also causes a significant decline in the biodiversity of natural ecosystems. Accordingly, forest management should pursue rational, pro-climate, pro-environmental, biodiversity-sensitive forest management instead of commercial-oriented predatory management. In addition, forest management plans should respect the principles of nature conservation, protection of rare and endangered species of fauna and flora, protection against the felling of old trees, protection of the biodiversity of natural ecosystems, etc., which is also important in the context of the scale of CO2 absorption from the atmosphere, and is therefore an additional factor in limiting the scale of the ever-increasing greenhouse effect and the global warming process.
In view of the above, I address the following question to the esteemed community of scientists and researchers:
How can we reduce the scale of the applied predatory forest management, improve forest management processes and plans, systemically improve the conduct of forest management so as to simultaneously take care of the state of natural forest ecosystems and protect forest animals, many of which are already endangered, and to increase the scale of CO2 uptake from the atmosphere by forest ecosystems, reduce the scale of the planetary greenhouse effect and slow down the increasingly rapid global warming process?

Why are the results of scientific research, including the UN IPCC reports on the role of humans on the sources of the accelerating global warming process, being ignored under populist, opportunistic, dirty combustion energy sector-backed economic policies, including pseudo-climate policies?
Published in March 2023, the new report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) of UN scientists summarises the previous 6 IPCC reports produced and published between 2018 and 2022. These reports have involved a huge amount of scientific work, many thousands of scientific papers have been examined. Thousands of scientific reviews were produced, in which around 100,000 different aspects, comments etc. were included and reviewed. The analysis shows, among other things, that more than 99 per cent of the scientific papers support the thesis that human civilisation has led to a significant and accelerating increase in greenhouse gas emissions since the beginning of the first industrial revolution, which has become a key factor in the increasingly rapid process of global warming. Studies and estimates show that 2.5 trillion tonnes of CO2 have been released into the atmosphere since the mid-19th century, with half of this amount entering the atmosphere in the last three decades. It has been estimated that 3.5 billion people are at risk of serious negative impacts from the ongoing global warming process. According to the results of the study, the processes of green transformation of the economy should be significantly accelerated, including the rate of decarbonisation of economic processes. without this acceleration, the strategic goal of global climate policy established during the Paris Agreement in 2015, which is to limit the scale of the increase in the temperature of the planet's atmosphere to max. 1.5 degrees C since the beginning of the first industrial revolution, i.e. since the 17th century. In order for this goal to be realistically achievable, it is necessary to significantly accelerate the implementation of the green transformation of the economy, so as to halve CO2 emissions by 2030 at the latest and achieve total zero-emission of the economy by 2050. Unfortunately, the populist, opportunistic economic policies supported by the dirty combustion energy sector, including pseudo-climatic policies, continue to ignore the results of scientific research, including the UN IPCC reports on the role of man as regards the sources of the increasingly rapid process of global warming.
In view of the above, I address the following question to the esteemed community of scientists and researchers:
Why are the results of scientific research, including the UN IPCC reports on the role of man regarding the sources of the accelerating process of global warming, being ignored in the framework of populist, opportunistic, dirty combustion energy sector-supported economic policies, including pseudo-climate policies?

What are the links between the climate crisis and the ecological crisis, i.e. the unfolding crises and human-induced acceleration of civilisation in the ongoing Anthropocene epoch?
The era of accelerated development of civilisation, significantly accelerating the scale of matter processing, production processes, the scale of environmental pollution, consumption of renewable and non-renewable natural resources, greenhouse gas emissions, deforestation, loss of biodiversity, etc. is referred to as the Anthropocene epoch, the Great Acceleration and Ecological Catastrophe has been taking place primarily since the mid-20th century. The term Anthropocene has not yet been introduced into the history of the development of planet Earth by geologists, but this is likely to happen soon. In the Anthropocene epoch, humans are increasingly transforming the biosphere into the technosphere. However, the scale of consumption of non-renewable raw materials is steadily increasing. The stocks of biodiverse forest areas that absorb part of the CO2 emitted by humans are continuing to decline rapidly. The supply of clean drinking water is also declining in increasingly large areas inhabited by humans. On the other hand, the scale of waste separation and recycling is still negligible and does not even compensate for a significant part of the consumption of raw materials and hardly reduces the level of waste pollution. The scale of the ongoing green transformation of the economy, including the implementation of a pro-environmental and pro-climate transformation of the classic growth, brown, linear economy of excess to a sustainable, green, zero-emission growth and closed loop economy is still too small to significantly reduce the level of greenhouse gas emissions, reduce the level of environmental pollution, implement reforestation processes and counteract the accelerating process of global warming is too small. It is essential to integrate a key aspect of the circular economy into the green transformation of the economy, i.e. the concept of zero growth consisting of zeroing out economic growth. This zeroing of economic growth should be implemented in a multi-faceted and multi-year perspective. It is not about zeroing economic growth in the short term (a few months) or in the medium term (a few years), i.e. as a periodic slowdown in economic growth occurring cyclically, within business cycles of several years during economic crises. It is about permanently resetting the rate of economic growth with the recognition of this issue as a key factor in a circular economy. Consequently, the economics of economic growth should be changed into the economics of zero growth, i.e. according to the concept of zero growth already known for several decades but not applied. An important issue of the Anthropocene epoch is also the rapidly progressing and human-induced extinction process of many species of flora and fauna referred to as the great 6th extinction in the history of the development of life on the planet. Consequently, the scale of the loss of biodiversity of the planet's natural ecosystems is progressing rapidly. Paradoxically, the great extinction of millions of species of flora and fauna was caused by just one species of living organisms - homo sapiens. Paradoxically, homo sapiens, which is responsible for this, is widely acknowledged to be the most intelligent species of life forms found on planet Earth. On the other hand, it is assumed that 99 per cent of the species that have lived on Earth over the last 3.5 billion years are extinct or have evolved into other species. But it is extremely difficult to estimate both the number of species and the duration of their existence for those of many millions of years ago and in the context of the evolutionary process. However, an extremely paradoxical and sad all at once process taking place in the Anthropocene epoch is that the acknowledged most intelligent single species of life form on Earth, which is homo sapiens, due to its robbery, combustion economy and rapid development of civilisation based on unlimited greed and disrespect for the surrounding nature, is causing the degradation of both the climate and the biosphere of the planet. Therefore, what has recently been described as a climate crisis should be studied, described, etc. in connection with the ecological crisis determined by the rapidly progressing process of deforestation, degradation of the biosphere, pollution of the natural environment, extinction of many species of flora and fauna life forms and, as a consequence, a rapidly decreasing level of biodiversity of the natural ecosystems of the planet Earth. Thus, the main negative effects of the development of a predatory, combustion-based civilisation and the key attributes of the Anthropocene epoch include not only a climate crisis but also an ecological crisis. The human-induced crises can thus be collectively referred to as the climate-ecological crisis. These crises should be considered, studied, analysed, described, etc. together because there are many relationships between them, synergistic processes, analogous and mutually influencing. By analogy, the process of a future climate catastrophe, which may already occur at the end of this 21st century if man does not manage to bring about a complete green transformation of the economy by 2030, should also be studied, analysed, projected, described, etc., in conjunction with the loss of biodiversity, the degradation of the biosphere, the extinction of species, etc., and thus the ecological catastrophe of the planet. By combining these issues, it is therefore possible and necessary to study, analyse, forecast and describe the future climatic-ecological catastrophe of the planet. If this catastrophe occurs in an extremely negative scenario then the Anthropocene epoch will be over.
In view of the above, I address the following question to the esteemed community of scientists and researchers:
What are the links between the climate crisis and the ecological crisis, i.e. the developing crises and those caused by the acceleration of civilisation in the ongoing Anthropocene epoch?
What do you think about this?

What are the adaptation strategies for climate change in agriculture India and can agricultural systems be adapted to reduce the impact of climate change?
I am seeking professional input on addressing climate change. In my work, I have seen decades of debate or hesitation of buy in by financial markets to actually address the main problem at play: the anthropogenic over-production of carbon dioxide and destruction of planetary carbon sinks. When we address this anthropogenic problem we say human-caused climate change or global warming or climate crisis. So far, despite saying we need to change, little action, especially in finance, takes place, especially on the scale needed. Often, the problem itself is too confusing and too large of a problem to really tackle a solution that is obvious and measurable.
My scope of work is looking at changing the common vernacular use of climate change to address the exact problem at hand: the anthropogenic over-production of dissolved CO2 gas into the atmosphere and destruction of planetary carbon sinks. The goal is to call that Global Carbon Crisis vs. what we have been calling it with confusion, climate change. After all, climate change has been an ongoing, natural process since the advent of polar ice caps.
The additional piece I am looking to address is the effective measurability which is already an infrastructure in place, called the Global Carbon Index. Essentially measuring a specific location CO2 production by contrast to overall global production at time of measurement.
What I am hoping to accomplish is a discussion if climate change to address this real problem should be used any more and why or why not. Also, to discover if fellow researchers feel this work is warranted to develop a systematic means to solve this difficult problem to assist buy in with financial incentives by using a defined unit of measure, the Global Carbon Index, to incentivize or discourage current production.

What are the technologies for binding CO2 to rock in order to decarbonise the burning of fossil fuels, reduce the greenhouse effect on the planet's atmosphere, slow down the progressive process of global warming and reduce the scale of a future global climate catastrophe?
CO2 is a key greenhouse gas that is produced in various types of combustion processes of carbon-based organic compounds. In order to reduce the scale of greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere and counteract the progressive process of global warming, it is necessary, among other things, to replace dirty energy based on the combustion of fossil fuels with clean, renewable and emission-free energy. In the process of greening the economy and decarbonising economic processes, it is important to reduce emissions to the atmosphere as quickly as possible, particularly of the highly greenhouse gas methane. Methane is produced in various processes, mainly by civilisation and, to a lesser extent, by natural processes in nature. An important pro-climatic solution would be not to emit CO2 into the atmosphere, but to bind it to a particular rock form or to inject it deep into the earth's crust in rock layers that will absorb and bind it chemically.
In view of the above, I address the following question to the esteemed community of scientists and researchers:
What are the technologies to bind CO2 into rock formations in order to eliminate the emissivity of fossil fuel combustion processes, reduce the scale of the greenhouse effect of the planet's atmosphere, slow down the progressive process of global warming and reduce the scale of future global climate catastrophe?

What is the importance of sustainable development and relationship between environmental sustainability and climate change?
Weather and climate conditions significantly impact the incidence and geographical distribution of several diseases. Extreme weather events such as heatwaves, floods, and droughts alter disease transmission ecologies and population vulnerability, thereby influencing risk for climate-sensitive disease. For example, increased temperature and rainfall induced by climate change and extreme weather events (such as storms or cyclones) are projected to increase the risk of malaria due to a greater geographical range for the Anopheles mosquito vector, a longer season, and enhanced vector breeding and disease transmission rates. Risk monitoring and mitigation strategies are therefore importance to preserve the health of populations.
Developing integrated surveillance can greatly enhance the capacity of health systems to prepare and adapt to climate-sensitive diseases. Integrated surveillance involves the integration of multiple surveillance systems (e.g. disease surveillance and weather surveillance) to improve the use of information for detecting, investigating and responding to public health threats. This integration of data, therefore, improves the flow of surveillance information throughout the health system.
Importantly, climate-informed surveillance can enhance the preparedness of health systems via early warning systems. Early warning systems aim to anticipate risks and trigger early warning responses to avoid or reduce impact and prepare for effective response. In the context of a rapidly changing environment and risk landscape, early warning systems are a valuable tool for building the adaptive capacity and climate-resilience of health systems.
The field of environmental communication teaches that how we communicate about our environment shapes not only what we think about it, but most importantly, what we do about it. Or as Greta Thunberg is the latest to remind us, what we don’t do about it.
How we frame our communication matters. Framing is positioning messages in ways that draw on audiences’ mental models to favour specific perspectives on an issue.

How can the drying up of natural lakes be stopped in order to reduce the negative effects of this process?
How can the drying up of natural lakes caused by the progressive process of global warming and excessive water consumption through unsustainable agricultural development be stopped?
In different regions of the world, on different continents, more and more negative effects of the progressive process of global warming, of the ongoing climate crisis, etc. are appearing. These include, above all, the natural effects of the loss of biodiversity of natural ecosystems, the effects on water resources of increasingly severe and prolonged droughts, water shortages in certain areas, decreasing rainfall, the drying up of lakes and rivers, the barrenness of soils, the decline in agricultural productivity, etc. In recent years, there has also been an increase in the scale of the emergence of the global crisis. In recent years there has also been an increase in the occurrence of hot weather, increasingly high summer temperatures, the occurrence of forest fires, etc., the drying out of forest litter in forests, a decrease in the humidity of the microclimate in areas of forests, agricultural fields and urban agglomerations. In this way, the living conditions for people in increasingly large areas of land are steadily deteriorating year by year. More and more lakes are drying up. A significant proportion of the large lakes, too, have already reduced their surface area and the water reserves they have accumulated over thousands of years. For example, the surface area of the saline Great Lake in the state of Utah in the USA has decreased significantly over the last few years. This is a result of excessive water consumption (mainly by agriculture) and the ongoing process of global warming. There are many harmful, toxic heavy metal and other compounds on the bottom of this lake. It is a drainless lake, i.e. all waste and toxins settle in the lake. Already half of the lake bottom is above the water surface. The drying up of the lakes results in negative changes in the microclimate around the lake, the barrenness of the soils, the desertification of the surrounding natural environment, the possibility of sandstorms, a decrease in the moisture content of the soils around the lake, a decrease in the productivity of the soils in terms of their use for agricultural purposes. In addition to this, the negative effects of lake desiccation include the negative natural effects of a decrease in the level of biodiversity, both in terms of the lake biosphere and the natural ecosystems functioning in the vicinity of the desiccating lake. In view of the above, it is increasingly important to improve and increase the scale of protection of lakes from drying out and to create solutions to counteract or slow down this unfavourable process. These solutions include prohibiting the extraction of water from a drying-up lake for industrial, agricultural, municipal, etc. purposes. If the drying-up lake is located in a predominantly agricultural area, an important solution may be the creation of new deep wells, rainwater harvesting systems, a change in the agricultural model from unsustainable to sustainable ecological agriculture and, in areas close to the seas and oceans, the development of seawater desalination systems.
In view of the above, I address the following question to the esteemed community of scientists and researchers:
How can we stop the drying up of natural lakes caused by the progressive process of global warming and the excessive use of water by unsustainable agricultural development?

Do the ongoing processes of economic globalisation foster, increase the impact and importance of sustainability or rather reduce the scope for the realisation of sustainable international economic ventures and processes, reduce the scale of sustainable international economic development?
Globalisation processes are subject to and influenced by various factors and processes operating over the long term. In recent years, the main determinants of globalisation processes include the growth of transnational corporations, international financial institutions, changes in the scale of economic protectionism applied, changes in international foreign trade strategies, cross-border capital flows financing direct investment and speculative investment in other countries' capital markets, international trade wars, the global financial crisis of 2007-2009, the SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) coronavirus pandemic and the recession of the 2020 economy, the increasing importance of green economic transformation and sustainable economic development, the energy crisis of 2022 and the intensifying negative effects of the progressive climate crisis. It may be that in the future, due to the intensifying negative effects of the progressive global warming process, the developing climate crisis, the importance of international environmental policy and supranational coordination for the implementation of sustainable development goals may be modified by globalisation processes in the years ahead. As a result, the structure of key priorities and factors shaping globalisation processes may change in the future. The importance of environmental, climate and sustainability factors in globalisation processes may increase. If globalisation processes undergo such modifications then international economic sustainability may also grow in importance. The question then arises as to how the processes of economic globalisation should proceed in order for sustainable international economic development to be realised?
In view of the above, I address the following question to the esteemed community of scientists and researchers:
Do the ongoing processes of economic globalization foster, increase the impact and importance of sustainability or do they rather reduce the scope of realization of sustainable international economic undertakings and processes, reduce the scale of sustainable economic development on an international scale?

What are the most serious problems of civilization development that should be solved as soon as possible? What are the global problems for which research should be developed and solutions to these problems resolved in 2019 and in subsequent years?
One of such research problems, which should not be postponed for an indefinite future, is the need to develop environment-friendly sustainable economic development in order to slow down the adverse process of global warming.
With the warming of the Earth's climate, the risk of more dramatic climate cataclysms, including tsunamis, increases.
Tsunami may be a derivative of the global warming problem. Global warming generates an increase in climate disasters, including more cases of tsunamis.
But not only is the risk of more violent and more dramatic tsunamis rising. Also in recent years, there has been more other types of climate and natural climate catatics, such as droughts, rainstorms, tornadoes and weather anomalies.
At present, it should no longer be asked whether global warming generates an increase in natural disasters only what rate of growth will be recorded in the future? So many data, research centers confirms the progressing process of global warming, that the problem is unquestionable.
More and more data points to the growing risk of climate change, unfavorable for human and life on the Earth, increase of climate disasters, climatic and weather anomalies, which are the result of global warming, rising average annual temperature near the Earth's surface.
Now we should just ask: How can these adverse processes be counteracted? What ecological technologies, renewable energy sources, how to help natural environments, how to rebuild them, such as afforestation, to build natural ecosystems absorbing greenhouse gases?
How to develop ecological business ventures? How to create financing systems for this type of pro-ecological projects? How to dispel international cooperation in this matter? What actions should be taken to move towards the development of a new ecological green economy?
How to develop environmentally sustainable economic development to slow down the unfavorable warming of the Earth's climate?

Looking for Climate-Smart agriculture (CSA) techniques which can be practically implemented in the existing agricultural fields i.e. on ground while farming.
I am having this idea of reclaiming part of the Sahara by planting trees to see whether it will assist in combating Climate Change.
- ANY of the 8 READERS of this QUESTION.. Is your country a member of the "Middle East Green Initiative" who will be planting 50 billion trees to combat desertification and eliminate the dust clouds?
- If you could post answers to these questions below, it would be useful to see what each country's goals are...
- If so, what is your country's tree planting goal?
- What will be the annual budget for this ecological restoration work?
- Which agency within your government will be responsible for the plantings?
- Will the native grasses and wildflowers be planted along with the trees, to secure the soil around the trees to keep dust from blowing?
- Will all of the trees be native to your country and no exotics planted?
- Last year, SAUDI ARABIA's goal was ONE MILLION trees planted PER WEEK, until 10 billion are planted.
- IRAN's goal is 4.5 MILLION trees per week for the next four years.
- 24 countries at the COP27 meeting in November 2022, agreed to plant a total of 50 BILLION trees all together. YouTube video available of the meeting of the "Saudi Green Initiative" that was expanded to the "Middle East" group of the 24 counties.
- Any oil or gas producing country, going to use the carbon credits produced by those trees, to be able to sell Carbon Neutral fossil fuels to your customers, like Occidental Petroleum did when 2 million barrels of Carbon Neutral oil was sold to India 2 years ago?
(How) Sustainable structures need to be improvised based on climate change so that it will enroute towards green sustainability making Advance Technology (Inclusive).
Anybody who has experience with the R package heatwaveR? Is it a good tool for heatwave and coldspells? Any other tools for heatwave and coldspells simulation that you can recommend?
Although, mangroves have been acknowledged as effective coastal bio-shields and conservation of the same has been taken up as a collective global agenda[1], a more collaborative and intensive effort should be put in place for conservation of these unique habitats. Similar to the collective efforts at the global level, collective efforts at the local and regional level should be initiated and fostered for conservation and sustainable management of mangrove habitats. In this context a discussion note was prepared to initiate a dialogue with individuals and organizations in India, especially on the eastern Indian coast to initiate the “Eastern Indian Mangrove Alliance for Conservation (EIMAC)”, to collectively identify the issues and opportunities and initiate a collaborative effort for conservation of mangrove habitats, sustainable economic development of the coastal communities and climate change mitigation and adaptation on the eastern Indian coast. The following sections of the discussion note provides an overview of the mangrove habitats of the eastern Indian coast, biodiversity, socio-economic conditions of the artisanal fishermen, and the threats of climate change. It was intended that this discussion note would provide the background and help to open the window for further discussion and initiate collaborative and collective action.

Along with the mangroves, as India as a member of the "Middle East Initiative", a lot of deserts are going to need to be replanted from western India to Pakistan, Arabia and central Africa, to keep the monsoon moisture moving across and producing even rainfall instead of droughts and floods.
What is happening now, is when the moisture goes over forests and native cover, then rain clouds can form. Then when it goes over barren deserts, two things can happen--the cloud stall and create floods or pass over the deserts and disappear because the hotter barren soil changes the dew point, so precipitation cannot occur. Image above of the areas that need to have native plant cover, to insulate the soil surface to keep the rainfall moving at an even track.
