Climate Letter #1245

A new climate change assessment report for California has been released.  It warns of numerous “apocalyptic threats” if the forces causing the change are not aborted.  This post has a summary from The Guardian which covers the principal findings.  There are also some poignant comments from a native American tribe leader.

A new report has found that carbon losses from deforestation and land degradation in African woodlands has been far greater than estimated (Mongabay).  The same report also found that regrowth could occur at a surprisingly rapid rate when disturbances were absent, offering some grounds for hope if good management practices are pursued.  Researchers have learned that complete deforestation of an area makes recovery very difficult and must be avoided.

Cities and towns that once depended on rivers now have big decisions to make.  As an impact of climate change, flooding caused by extreme rainfall has for many inland locations developed into a real problem much sooner than sea level rise on coastlands.  The answer is the same—build defences or migrate to higher ground.

New clues help to explain the greatest extinction in Earth’s history.  Massive volcanic eruptions in Siberia radically changed the climate but that is not all.  They also released a family of gases that had the ability to destroy the ozone layer that protects life from damaging radiation.  (This is the same fate that we narrowly escaped in the last century by curbing emissions of the same kind of gases.)   “The scale of this extinction was so incredible that scientists have often wondered what made the Siberian Flood Basalts so much more deadly than other similar eruptions.”
