The outlook for sea level rise has never been more pertinent and never so threatening. Global warming is running so far ahead of schedule, the dreaded +1.5°C pre-industrial already knocking on the door, as science consistently plays catchup, and sea level rise is one threat that may be on deck much sooner than anybody thought possible.
Biblical flooding, scorching heat, collapsing grid system, animals crumbling, waters rising, crops wilting, economy on the brink, and millions displaced. Welcome to the future of climate change… Pakistan.
Climate change is clobbering water resources and testing the nerves of the world, especially megacities.
It may seem absurd to consider collapse of the Amazon rainforest (65-million-years-old), but, sorry to say, it is already happening in early stages, as explained herein in some detail, with facts. Also: World heat is worse than ever; the entire planet is sweating.
Scientists estimate that permafrost holds up to 950 billion tons of carbon. As it thaws because of global warming, 50 billion tons of methane could enter the atmosphere from Siberian lakes alone. That’s ten times more methane than the atmosphere holds right now.
One more UN Conference of the Parties, COP28, has flopped. The short-term financial interests of a few have again won over the health, lives and livelihoods of most people living on this planet. Meanwhile, new research has identified extremely disturbing deep trouble brewing in Greenland.
Buckle up, fireworks will be going off in a couple weeks in the pristine complex known as Dubai. World leaders, climate scientists, environmentalists, and fossil fuel producers will clash over the outlook for climate change and the impact of global warming, or should it be called global heating?
Small Modular Reactors (SMR) are the new nuclear craze, especially with the U.S. Congress. They are being advertised as a green deal for clean energy that skirts the heavy costs of paying the Middle East billions upon billions. However, the devil in the details is dangerously overlooked.
Forever Chemicals are found everywhere from the depths of the Mariana Trench to the mountaintop of Mt. Everest. Following 80 years of manufacturing various PFAS chemicals, the world is swimming in chemical permanence. It is a toxic price society pays for modern-day conveniences.
A new study finds Greenland’s ice sheet thinning much further into the ice sheet core than previously thought, 100 miles inland. The implications are extremely concerning and far-reaching especially for sea level rise.
Janata Weekly is India’s oldest independent socialist weekly.
Ever since its founding in 1946, Janata has voiced its principled dissent against all conduct and practice that is detrimental to the cherished values of nationalism, democracy, secularism and socialism, while upholding the integrity and the ethical norms of healthy journalism. For more than seventy years now, week after week, it has continued to analyse the changes taking place in the country and the world from a socialist standpoint, and thus promote the spread of socialist ideology in the country.
