Isn’t It Time You Were Working on Climate Already? #wordpress #climatechange


My face when I first heard the Thwaites news 😱🙀 I rang in last new year with a post, “The First Climate Decade“, that included this line: “…

Climate Crisis and Refugees


Restore Our Earth

Pollution


Here you’ll establish why it’s vital to travel in an exceedingly climate-friendly approach and build contribution to world responsibility for this climate crisis.

“If we have a tendency for not taking action now, there will be 143 million climate refugees worldwide by 2050.”

Environment America to President Biden: Combatting climate change means protecting the Tongass


Our forests are the oldest tool around when it comes to tackling today’s climate crisis.   They, including Alaska’s old-growth Tongass National Forest, have been sequestering carbon since time

U.S. Cities Are Under-Counting Their CO₂ Pollution By Almost 20% .


A new national estimate suggests that urban emissions are significantly higher than previously thought, complicating efforts to reduce greenhouse pollution

At least 48 U.S. cities are under-counting their carbon dioxide pollution by nearly 20%, according to a new study that compares local disclosures against a national database that can now estimate the same information. The new analysis could create confusion about how much cities emit—and therefore how much pollution they must cut—at a time of increased attention to climate change from the White House, state capitals, and city officials.At least 48 U.S. cities are under-counting their carbon dioxide pollution by nearly 20%, according to a new study that compares local disclosures against a national database that can now estimate the same information.

The difference between the cities’ and the study authors’ estimates is consequential at a national scale—amounting to 70 million tons of CO₂, or about the output of the entire state of Massachusetts. If the difference between the 48 cities included in the study and the research estimates were extrapolated across the country, the under-counted emissions would amount to 474 million tons, or 24% more than California emitted in 2015.

Is it still possible to take action!

Lebanon Climate equation

It is still possible Lebanon have long been aware of the need to protect the natural resources. The Earth’s climate is changing. Temperatures are rising, snow and rainfall patterns are shifting. Weather patterns are changing, sea levels are rising, and weather events are becoming extremely dangerous. Most of the observed changes are linked to the rising levels of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in our atmosphere, that are caused by human activities. Climate change is affecting our lives on every continent. It is disrupting our national economies and affecting our societies. Serious actions have been made by most governments around the world, they spent considerable time and effort in recent years to develop plans to chart a safer and more sustainable future for their citizens. Taking these on board now as part of recovery planning can help the world build back better from the current crisis. Shifting to Lebanon, Whether as Lebanese or foreign as we are, such issues are probably not intended to be heard by the authorities, there are more important things in priority than climate issues. Actually, this project is mainly not considered as dangerous indication compared with what Lebanon is particularly passing through. Anyways, there are MUCH MORE easy different ways to kill lebanese people other than the fact of the world pollution and the VIP climate aspects. With respect to environment and climate control, lebanese politicians would only take advantages over actions if the issue required money in return to their own personal beneficial levels. If we could summarize what to expect from Lebanese government in aiding the environmental life or the way to make a health care reform and how could they protect climate criminals. It’s clearly with out any hesitant.. Expect nothing. What cost less gives more value to their beneficial levels. But you have to take in consideration the benefits of such tools that might allow political parties get involved in the world climate care, only if this program will allow them steal more money from the public sectors and citizens. As countries move toward rebuilding their economies after COVID-19, recovering from the pandemic by creating new plans suitable to the 21st century economy in ways that are clean, green, healthy, safe and more resilient. Lebanon is far away from the current crisis, since there’s no way for available opportunities, systematic profound, or organized shift in order to breathe again. Moreover, there is no sustainable economy that can be used to treat the Lebanese societies or even at least to work for both people and the planet.

Climate Action

It’s not about how folks narrowed down the edge of the high risk of climate war in the past decades.

Beyond time and space

Climate change is one of the biggest global threats to all living beings health. It’s a very common that many people do not know how this crisis can control their life time.
Climate change is worst issue that counts over the health life of the new generations. To be clear, if actions are taken lightly then it may save the life of some newly born babies that will suffer from hundreds of chronic diseases in their future.
droughts, fires, the death of animal and plant species, floods from rivers and lakes, and the destruction of the food chain and economic resources, especially in developing countries.
For example in the rate of rainfall lead to crop failure and increase in food prices, is thr cause of food insecurity and food deprivation for the poor, which may destroy the livelihoods, increasing migration worldwide, crimes and conflicts, imal addition it can also play a role in curbing opportunities for children and young people.
Talking about climate change from time to time is like a boosting for our humanity as well as a way to spot the fact behind the dangerous threats that also effects the world economy and kill thousands of people in poor areas that suffers and urgently require higher standards to support their needs and maintain a real local food programs especially during the covid19 infection and it’s effects on life in general.
Climate change is a limitless global challenge and combating that requires coordinated action by all countries, and many people do not know what that means, either because of unreliable sources or deliberate wrong information, which led to a series of myths about Climate change.
Heat waves, cold waves, forest fires, droughts, river floods, coastal floods, and storms are all around the world nowadays.
All studies have shown that climate effects are dangerous than Coronavirus disease and its worse than any other pandemic. Most studies shows that gas emissions and other pollutions played a role in changing the environmental life cycle.
Due to severe weather conditions The number of deaths due to is willing to increase from 3 thousand people annually between 1981- 2010, to 152 thousand people annually, during the period between 2071- 2100.
Would you imagine the future life without lights because of the high level of polluted air and environment?
Global warming is a natural process by which the atmosphere retains some of the sun’s heat, allowing the Earth to maintain the conditions necessary to host life, and without the effect of global warming, the average temperature of the planet would be -180 ° C.
The problem is that daily human activities increase the effect of global warming, which is causing the planet to warm up even further. The biggest threat to the environment and the planet’s biodiversity in the coming decades is the increase in the rates of climate change, due to the accumulation of greenhouse gases generated by humans in the atmosphere, and human population growth can overwhelm efforts to combat climate change.
If the necessary efforts are not made to combat the problem, heat waves will cause 99 percent of weather related deaths, studies show that the climate change would kill up to 152,000 people in Europe annually by 2100.
According to Unicef Approximately 785 million people lack basic water services. By 2040, 600 million children are expected to live in areas where water demand exceeds the available resources. Without action now, climate change will exacerbate the inequality that children already face, and future generations will suffer.
It’s time to take action…
