That is, they do it quickly, before the event fades from people’s memories and other events have happened in the meantime. Tied with Hurricane Katrina as the costliest cyclone on record, Hurricane Harvey caused catastrophic flooding and over a hundred deaths in 2017. Bill McKibben, author of Falter and The End of NatureTied with Hurricane Katrina as the costliest cyclone on record, Hurricane Harvey caused catastrophic flooding and over a hundred deaths in 2017. Some of the radiation is thrown back to Earth, like a game of table tennis between the Earth’s surface and greenhouse gases in which the energy decreases with every point of contact.

The hottest year on record was 2016, the second hottest was 2017, and the third hottest was 2015, followed by 2018, 2014, 2010, and 2013.

To do so, we need to step away from large-scale averages and understand how climate change is reflected in a specific drought, flood, or storm. Ich lese ja gerne mal eine Außenseiterposition, aber Otto scheint sich gar nicht bewusst zu sein, wie sehr sie beschwichtigt. This is a new area of science that looks at past and current weather events, heat waves, hurricanes, cold snap or excessive rain.

Her new book, Angry Weather: Heat Waves, Floods, Storms, and the New Science of Climate Change published by Greystone Books is due out on 17th September in the UK (and 2 days earlier in USA), and I for one, can’t wait to read it.

We are therefore changing when and where areas of high and low pressure develop and where they go, when and where it rains, the strength of the wind, the season in which the wind blows, and the direction from which it comes. Przeczytałem dużo pozycji dotyczących zmian klimatu, każda traktowała o delikatnie innym aspekcie naszej działalności wobec globalnego ocieplenia.

If you’ve ever blown up a balloon and let it go without tying a knot in it, then you’ll know that higher and lower pressure compensate for one another unless prevented by something like the shell of a balloon. Dostałam w prezencie, chciałam dowiedzieć się więcej o zmianach klimatu i poukładać sobie fakty w głowie - ta książka jest do tego świetna. I’ve been so lucky as to meet so many amazing people through Teams that have help me grow by giving support, promotion, advice and friendship. As the hurricane unfolds, Otto reveals how attribution science works in real time, and determines that Harvey's terrifying floods were three times more likely to occur due to human-induced climate change. Because the Earth’s atmosphere is connected via global circulation, temperatures rise in almost every region on the planet.Social media is key for me and probably for most artisans, makers, artist, crafters trying to sell their work online. Glad I read it and have a better idea of what climate is doing and a bit about what it is not doing.

Bardzo ciekawa jest to książka, napisana przystępnym językiem i oparta na wielu przykładach pogodowych anomalii.Vielleicht lese ich die falschen Bücher, aber das hier ist das erste, das nicht davon ausgeht, dass das 2-Grad-Ziel überschritten werden wird. Das ist wissenschaftstheoretisch extrem spannend, aber Wissenschaftsjournalismus bedeutet hier leider dumbing down bis zur Unverständlichkeit.
