In the 200-plus years since the industrial revolution began, the concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere has increased due to human actions. During this time, the pH of surface ocean waters has fallen by 0.1 pH units. This might not sound like much, but the pH scale is...

In this pic the Chemical formula representing the Ocean Acidification issue is represented. As it can be seen when CO2 interacts with water H2O calcium carbonate ions CO3 are absorbed and an acid 2HCO3 is produced, which makes the ocean acidity increase.

As I said in a previous post Aereosols increase the ALBEDO (reflectivity) of clouds and help to reduce the Energy Imbalance produced by the GHE. So it's true that the slashing of pollution (Aereosols) contribute to raise the Temperature of the Oceans. In fact the ESA EarthCARE Satellite has...

I applied to attend the 3-days training course of the Climate Reality Project which will take place in Rome (Italy) at the end of June, and my application has been accepted. Former Vice President and Nobel Laureate Al Gore will intervene at the training course in Rome.

https://www.accuweather.com/en/weather-forecasts/mexicos-severe-heat-drought-have-eyes-for-us/1654651 A tremendous dome of heat and drought has been affecting a large part of Mexico from the winter through the spring, and AccuWeather meteorologists warn that some of that will build northward...

As it can be seen in the reported graph the 2024 Global Sea Surface Temperature (SST) (Red line) is always above the 2023 Global Sea Surface temperature (Yellow line). Not Good!

The ESA EarthCARE Satellite has spread its solar wing, and is generating power. The EarthCARE Satellite has started his Mission! GO BIG EarthCARE!

The heatwave that hit India is continuing and Temperatures are increasing in India. Delhi temperature hits 52.9°C, shattering India's national record.

Agree with you also because I saw in the article above that in China there is a Clean Energy boom.

IMO it's necessary a carbon tax according to the distance travelled with no EVs. This is necessary also to raise awareness about the Climate Change issue. Then of course it's up to politics to decide. Think that the UN should intervene also in this matter. The UN is the only Institution that...

This tweet gives a short overview of the quoted article.

https://www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-monthly-drop-hints-that-chinas-co2-emissions-may-have-peaked-in-2023/ China’s carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions fell by 3% in March 2024, ending a 14-month surge that began when the economy reopened after the nation’s “zero-Covid” controls were lifted in...

https://science.nasa.gov/climate-change/effects/ Takeaways We already see effects scientists predicted, such as the loss of sea ice, melting glaciers and ice sheets, sea level rise, and more intense heat waves. Scientists predict global temperature increases from human-made greenhouse gases...

LIFTOFF🚀 for EarthCARE Satellite! GO BIG EarthCARE! 😎 Actually I applied for a job in the ESA Earth Observation Department to work on Projects like EarthCARE. Hope that my application will be accepted. ❤️

As I mentioned in the quoted post, based on current forecasts, it looks like May, 2024 will end up over 1.5°C. If this holds for the next 5 days, May, 2024 will mark the 11th consecutive month over 1.5°C and the 12th straight month setting a record monthly high.

SpaceX is targeting TODAY for the launch of the EarthCARE Satellite. Liftoff at 00:20 CEST (Central European Summer Time) 🚀 GO EarthCARE! Think that the people exulting in the reported video belong to the ESA Earth Observation Department. In fact I can recognize the ESA/ESRIN building...

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/jul/25/gulf-stream-could-collapse-as-early-as-2025-study-suggests The Gulf Stream system could collapse as soon as 2025, a new study suggests. The shutting down of the vital ocean currents, called the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation...

On May 26, 2024 the Anomaly of the Sea Surface Temperature (Black Line 20.9°C) is decreasing and getting closer to the Yellow Line representing the 2023 Anomaly of the Sea Surface Temperature. It looks like when La Niña will kick in the Anomaly of the Sea Surface Temperature will stabilize...

The heatwave hitting Mexico is continuing. There has never been anything remotely close to this. I am afraid that soon we will have another record Global Temperature Deviation for May 2024.

ESA EarthCARE Satellite is launching soon! According to the tradition satellites are also given nicknames in addition to their ‘official’ names. The nickname chosen for EarthCARE is ‘Hakuryu’ or ‘White Dragon’ in Japanese.

The energy request from mankind is increasing at an extraordinary pace of about 2.4% per year. So please add as much renewables as you can and PLEASE don't add fossil fuels to get energy.

Arizona is building the first solar canal in the U.S. . Solar-covered canals will generate renewable energy and save water in this notoriously dry area. This is the way to go. GO BIG ARIZONA!

We have the confirmation of the plane incident of Qatar Airways flight QR017 because of the turbulence over Turkey from Dublin Airport. 15.00 update: Qatar Airways flight QR017 from Doha landed safely as scheduled at Dublin Airport shortly before 13.00 on Sunday. Upon landing, the aircraft...

BREAKING NEWS! OMG again! A SECOND plane is hit by dangerous turbulence in just a few days. Emergency Services at Dublin Airport after passengers and crew injured by turbulence on Quatar Airways flight. 12 people were injured on the flight because of the turbulence. This is what happens...

A witness of the Singapore-bound Boeing 777-300ER flight diverted to Bangkok following the mid-air incident because of a clean air turbulance, making an emergency landing at 15:45 local time (08:45 GMT). I invite all TMC Members to watch the reported video.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bbc.com/news/articles/c8889d7x8j4o.amp You remember the Singapore-bound Boeing 777-300ER diverted to Bangkok following the mid-air incident because of a clean air turbulance, making an emergency landing at 15:45 local time (08:45 GMT) with some 211 passengers...

Actually to me this news, that China overtook the USA for what is concerning renewables, looks a little bit strange considering that the only California runs completely with renewables most of the time today. Maybe that some TMC Members can give a better explanation to this matter.

China's solar capacity jumped 52.4% in April 2024, compared to April 2023, reaching a big 670 GW. China's wind power capacity hit 460 GW, up 20.6% in April 2024, compared to April 2023. USA has about 150 GW of solar and 150 GW of wind. So currently China is overtaking the USA both in...

As I said in the quoted post brutal heatwaves ongoing simultaneously in Mexico and India. I invite all TMC Members to watch the reported video.

This is important news given to us by the ESA Earth Observation Department. . The EarthCARE Satellite will be LAUNCHED SOON🚀🛰️ The EarthCARE Satellite carries four instruments for observations of clouds and aerosols with four synergistic sensing methodologies. The instruments provide key...

Heatwave not only in Mexico but also in North India.

UNBELIEVABLE MEXICO CITY ALL TIME HIGH BEATEN AGAIN for a 24 May 34.7C today in the historic Tacubaya Observatory. Nearly 150 years of data and all time record beaten and rebeaten multiple times. As it is mentioned in the quoted post Mexico is hit by a severe heatwave in this period which has...

The heatwave hitting Mexico can also be observed by the Satellite. It is one of the worst and longest heatwaves hitting Mexico. More than 100 wildfires from Yucatan to central areas and a wide drought are the results. And temperatures could rise again in a few days.

The quoted news is confirmed by Peter Carter.

https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/mexico-heat-wave-1.7214308 The extreme heat smothering much of Mexico has already killed dozens of people, but the hottest temperatures are yet to come, officials say. "In the next 10 to 15 days, the country will experience the highest temperatures ever recorded,"...

As far as I know Mr. Trump is against EVs, Elon is the CEO of Tesla and President Biden supports EVs. So I don't understand this behavior of Elon.

In fact clouds can also act like a blanket, trapping heat on Earth by absorbing the heat released by the surface of the planet. They radiate this heat back toward Earth, warming the lower regions of the atmosphere. Whether clouds heat or cool the surface of Earth depends on the height and type...

Clouds play a crucial role in Earth's climate system by reflecting sunlight back into space, known as the albedo effect, and by trapping heat radiating from Earth's surface, part of the greenhouse effect. However, it’s complicated but the soon-to-be-launched EarthCARE mission will hopefully...

This is a video about Letzte Generation Activists blocking the traffic. To Letzte Generation Activists: PLEASE STOP BLOCKING THE TRAFFIC! It's not useful to work out the Climate Change issue. Believe me!

According to Peter Carter the hurricane season next in store for U.S. is caused by the record buildup of tropical Atlantic Ocean surface heat.

Actually you have a better understanding of the Chinese situation than me. Think that your view is good. Of course the best solution is political not military. I only asked for a UN intervention. Then the best solution is up to politics. I am an Engineer not a Politician. I am only concerned...

Think that the UN should intervene both with India and China to cut their Coal Consumption. This is the viable solution IMO.

India is burning incredibile amounts of coal RIGHT NOW! This is NOT GOOD!

Of course Letzte Generation is not a criminal organisation but they should stop blocking the traffic. This way they only make drivers VERY ANGRY and they don't help the fight to the Climate Change issue AT ALL! Furthermore they could also cause danger to the traffic.

And this is the opinion of Prof. Bill McGuir about Rock Weathering to capture CO2. JUST CUT EMISSIONS! Prof. Bill McGuir

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/article/2024/may/23/can-rock-weathering-help-tackle-climate-crisis-and-boost-farming There is an urgent need for farming to curb its greenhouse gas emissions, with farmers also under pressure to be more sustainable. One suggestion could help with both...

An hypothesis: fossil fuels are still used but the contributions of renewables is so high that the Carbon Footprint is negative and it’s like if it was 100% renewables.
