'Huge changes needed to reduce global warming'
- October 11, 2018
This is especially true when reducing short-lived climate pollutants, such as methane and black carbon, which simultaneously cuts down on air pollution and mitigates health threats such as asthma and other respiratory diseases. "Many parts of the world will see mean temperature increases that, in time, will be higher than 1.5°C, including the South West of Western Australia", Dr Kala said. (more...)

UN Says Canada Needs to Cut Emissions to Stop Catastrophic Climate Change
- October 11, 2018
At 1.5C of global warming , Namibia and Botswana can expect roughly 20 more days of exposure to heat stress in a year. This is especially notable considering that the "intensity, frequency and duration" of North Atlantic hurricanes , as well as the frequency of Category 4 and 5 hurricanes (the strongest classifications), have been on the rise since the 1980s, with hurricane intensity and rainfall projected to increase as global warming continues, the National Climate Assessment wrote.
