The weekly round-up on the climate crisis and data on carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere. That limiting the increase in global temperatures to within 1.5°C, as established in the 2015 Paris Agreement, is an impossible mission without the transition from fossil fuels to clean energy is certainly no longer news.It is a passage now taken for granted by studies and reports by panels of experts and scholars and it is information also acquired by governments.It is newsworthy, however, if it is an oil company that says it. Last week Shell released the “Energy security scenarios”, a new series of scenarios in which the oil and gas company imagines how the global energy system could change over the course of the century.Between the lines of the report – observe Carbon Brief who analyzed the study in depth – it is clear that staying below 1.5°C means immediately putting an end to oil and gas growth. This is certainly new considering that, in previou...

The weekly round-up on the climate crisis and data on carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere. “Act now or it will be too late.”The final part of the Sixth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), he threw yet another warning.Always the same, almost a litany.Heard, also repeated by political leaders but which does not turn into immediate actions.These are diluted, however, in the complex compromises between politics, industrial groups, energy companies and markets, without considering the economic and social repercussions of the energy transition. Climate Conferences are a mirror of these complex relationships of force:the first week to say that there isn't much time, the second - that of political negotiations - to explain that time is needed.And while we spend our lovely Sundays at home discussing washable paints, demonstration actions and urban decoration, the IPCC "Synthesis report" tells everyone that what we have before us is the last window of...

If there is a sector in which the impact of climate change is visible to the naked eye, it is that of ski areas, in which the "raw material", i.e. natural snow, is increasingly scarce, almost to the point of disappearing as the altitude drops.To try to smooth out the effects of a structural problem that evidently cannot be cured at the root, the Italian government - according to the usual logic of "aid packages" and "special funds" - continues to provide funds to private individuals in difficulty For new artificial snow systems.The executive has in fact already allocated well for this purpose 147 million of euros, in particular for the construction of water supply tanks, for the renovation of cableways and for the construction of large piles of technical snow, useful for starting the winter season early.And, while strategies for serious sustainable tourism clearly take a backseat to others 200 million non-refundable are already on the plate.A technique tha...

“A disaster announced, but we ignored the signs.” Meteorologist Luca Mercalli doesn't mince words about the flood that hit Emilia-Romagna, causing 13 victims and leaving 20,000 people homeless:«Global warming must be stopped, we are all guilty.Nobody wants to make sacrifices except the kids who fight for the climate." 500 mm of rain in a few days, as much as falls in a year in Aosta.The rivers cannot absorb such a quantity of water, the soaked soil collapses, the entire system goes into crisis. Floods in Emilia Romagna:an announced disaster and because climate change is also involved In its annual report on global average temperatures, the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) said there is a good chance that in the next five years the Earth will experiment new temperature records and global warming will exceed 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels, a threshold beyond which there could be far-reaching repercussions for health, food safety, water management an...

According to a study by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), in the next five years the Earth will experiment new temperature records and global warming will probably exceed 1.5°C compared to pre-industrial levels, a threshold beyond which there could be potentially irreversible disastrous consequences for the planet. New #StateofClimate update from WMO and @MetOffice: 66% chance that annual global surface temperature will temporarily exceed 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels for at least one of next 5 years 98% likelihood that at least one of next five years will be warmest onrecord. pic.twitter.com/30KcRT9Tht — World Meteorological Organization (@WMO) May 17, 2023 The relationship, published on May 17, found a 66% chance of exceeding the 1.5°C threshold in at least one year between 2023 and 2027 (last year for the five-year period between 2022 and 2026 the probability was 50%).For each year from 2023 to 2027, global near-surface temperatures are projected t...
