New International Cryosphere Climate Initiative scientific report: Even 2°C global warming is too much. Impacts of 2°C on currently frozen regions will cause devastating and irreversible consequences for people, wildlife, and ecosystems.

“As we indiscriminately extract our #water resources, damage nature, & pollute both Earth and space, we are moving dangerously close to the brink of multiple risk #TippingPoints that could destroy the very systems...life depends on.”

“California Enacts Major Water Law Reform Legislation–But More Changes Are Needed,” by Richard Frank. californiawaterblog.com/2023/10/22/cal… #CAwater

New study links ongoing mass-mortality event affecting gray #whales to decreased #Arctic #SeaIce as a result of #ClimateChange .

Europe’s plans for #NetZero GHG emissions need to be revised because they rely on carbon uptake by #forests . Heat & #drought , worsened by #ClimateChange , are significantly decreasing carbon uptake by #trees & even causing forests to be net carbon emitters.

New CA law requires coastal cities to develop plans to adapt to #SeaLevelRise . “Sea level is already rising on our shorelines &more is already ‘baked in.' The only questions are how fast the ocean will rise & whether or not #California will be prepared.”

New study: The critical temperature threshold for melting the #Greenland ice sheet is between 1.7 and 2.3°C of global warming, and even temporary overshoot will likely cause several meters of #SeaLevelRise . But stabilizing the ice sheet is still possible.
