I wanted to share my first publication for the University of Nottingham's Impact Magazine, I was runner up for Article of the Month with "Could Global Warming Cause the Next Pandemic?". I discuss the recent study and how likely it's findings are of impacting our day to day lives, with ancient frozen microbes being released due to climate warming.

In the most recent edition of our flagship Climate Change in the American Mind survey, we asked “What do you think is the greatest threat that global warming poses to the United States, if any?” The responses are illuminating - among Democrats, extreme weather is perceived as the biggest threat, but among some Republicans, acting on climate change is perceived as a bigger threat than climate change itself.

A quick summary of our 60-page Insight into global warming and climate change as an existential human threat based on available science 🔥

🔥 Is global warming and climate change an existential threat – yes or no? https://lnkd.in/g-husPs5   Since we published Insight #6 in July, global warming and climate change have wrought more havoc across the globe. Perhaps the most graphic disaster was the destruction of the Hawaiian town of Lahaina, leaving at least 114 dead and many more missing – America’s most deadly fire in more than a century.   In the wake of these catastrophes, many people are rightly becoming more concerned about whether global warming poses a real threat to humanity.   We’ve taken our key findings from Insight #6 and put them into an easy, five-minute read which answers this very question: Is global warming and climate change an existential threat?   We explain the reasons for our conclusion, while also covering: ✔️ The links between recent catastrophic events and climate change ✔️The seriousness of global warming and climate change right now ✔️The current impacts of climate change on people and ecosystems ✔️Remaining climate uncertainties ✔️Whether we're doing enough to mitigate future global warming   This Insight summary is for anyone who is looking for simple, unbiased and evidence-based information on the real threats of climate change.   Read now - https://lnkd.in/g-husPs5 #ClimateChange #futures #GlobalWarming #ClimateThreat #HumanExistence

Global warming is getting worse! Climate change is set to present challenges surpassing anything we’ve encountered before, making life more demanding. Yes, you hear it right. In the midst of our changing world, global warming is like a shadow, changing the way we remember things. As we go through the different weather patterns, I think back to my childhood winters. This global warming thing is getting worse. We don't know how many more things will be added to our memories as time goes by! To explore the changes brought about by climate over the past few years, you can read my Medium article here. https://lnkd.in/dFr4KYSs

An increase in concentrations of greenhouse gases by global warming has caused scorching summers, more intense heatwaves, longer drought periods, more extended floods, and wilder wildfires. One less obvious consequence of global warming is also getting growing attention from scientists, which is a potential increase in the intensity and frequency of winter cold snaps in the northern hemisphere.   Some of the mechanisms that lead to their occurrence are strengthened by global warming. Key climate mechanisms, like exchanges of energy and air masses between different altitude ranges in the atmosphere, are evolving in ways expected to cause an increase in both the intensity and duration of cold snaps.   Direct effects on health and loss of life, the effects on transport and infrastructure, surges in energy demand and damage to agricultural resources are all of winter cold snaps’ major societal impacts.   #Globalwarming #Greenhousegasemission #greenhousegas #globalimpact #agriculture #agriculturalresources #hwatwaves #climatechange #climateimpact   This content is jointly prepared by ZWEEC Analytics Pte Ltd and ripple2wave.

Climate change effects usually become clear over decades and centuries, but some alarming changes are looming. https://lnkd.in/gTa9EHpV Armstrong McKay et al. present an updated assessment of the most important climate tipping elements and their potential tipping points, including their temperature thresholds, time scales, and impacts. Their analysis indicates that even global warming of 1°C, a threshold that we already have passed, puts us at risk by triggering some tipping points. This finding provides a compelling reason to limit additional warming as much as possible.

According to a new tool developed by the Copernicus Climate Change Service, if the global warming trend of the past 30 years continues, the world could exceed the 1.5°C global average temperature threshold by December 2034.
