Source: Tyndall Centre A new study warns that climate change, sea-level rise and land subsidence will significantly worsen typhoon-driven flooding in Shanghai – highlighting the urgent need for stronger, layered defences in vulnerable delta cities. New research shows how the combination of extreme climate events, sea-level rise and land subsidence could create larger and deeper floods in coastal cities in future. The study focused on Shanghai, in China, which is threatened w

Source: Nepali Times Cryosphere loss has immediate consequences for water security, livelihoods, infrastructure, and climate justice The Himalaya is melting twice as fast as the global average, and this is accelerated by air pollution. Called black carbon, suspended particles emitted by industries, vehicle exhaust, or forest fires accelerate glacial retreat in High Asia. Dark matter makes the ice melt faster (as seen in Kapuche Lake in Kaski, pictured above). The snowline is

Sorce: Tyndall Centre Human-driven climate change made wildfires in parts of South America and Southern California many times larger and more destructive, according to an annual assessment by international experts. According to climate models, the Los Angeles wildfires in January were twice as likely and 25 times larger, in terms of burned area, in the current climate than they would have been in a world with no human-caused global warming. It also made last year’s burning in
