#climatewarming — Public Fediverse posts

Thoughts to my brother-in-law and his comrades who have been fighting the complex fire in the natural reserve of the high fens for over 48h now. I hope they get it under control.
Current situation looks pretty bad, and is expanding towards Germany: https://firemap.live/?lng=6.06015&lat=50.51370&zoom=10.88

#wildfire #belgium #highfens #hautefagnes #climatewarming #drought

So for decades idiots have planted pine monocultures and drained the high fens to extract peat. Now the soils are dry, the bushes are dry, the trees are dry.

2000ha gone in 2 days. This is insane.

Collapsing Mountains In Alaska Are Causing Massive Tsunamis

I'm quite happy to announce a new publication, which was done in collaboration with a visiting Italian PhD student (who collaborated in an experiment of one of our PhD students) and her original Italian team. It is always a great pleasure, when such a visit is crowned by the rapid publication of the data 🙂
The subject is quite specialised, concerning a comparison of methods to estimate the resistance to CO2 movements inside the leaf. An important subject for all kind of biomass productions, because individuals / genotypes / provenances / species with less resistance are able to increase their photosynthesis.

our publication is also specifically connected to responses of #Oaks #Trees to #Drought and #HighTemperature #Climatewarming

Happy 420! #420 #ClimateWarming 🍸😺

>>Every year, Greenland and Antarctica combined lose around 420 billion tons of ice. This is roughly the weight of all the buildings in New York City five hundred times over. All of this has gone into the oceans.<<

I had missed this #GoodNews. In the #EU wind and solar electricity have overtaken fossils in 2025 for the first time: https://ember-energy.org/latest-insights/european-electricity-review-2026/

Well, it's not quite that #Solarpunk is coming immediately, but great news nevertheless 🪁 😎

#idw Study: “Hidden” #contrails in #cirrus clouds contribute to #climatewarming

Researchers at the Institute for #Meteorology at Leipzig University have, for the first time, determined the climatic impact of contrails that form within natural cirrus clouds. Contrails account for the largest share of aviation’s climate impact beyond carbon dioxide emissions. https://idw-online.de/en/news863338

🚨 New #preprint online! 🚨

"Forecasting #bryozoan assemblage dynamics under simulated #ClimateChange" by Mira Baer et al.

We use an #IndividualBasedModel to explore potential future bryozoan assemblage dynamics. We show that successional patterns strongly depend on the duration of the growing season as well as on the spatial distribution of predation events - which are both likely to change due to #ClimateWarming...

From the original article in The Age in 2021:

Should Australia warm by 3 degrees, the number of days hotter than 35 degrees in Sydney would jump from an average of 3.1 to 11 each year, while in Melbourne the jump would be from 11 to 24. In Darwin, the average number of days hotter than 35 degrees would go from 11 to 265 — every day would be designated a heat stress day.

Altered Water Cycles:
Changes in vegetation can affect local precipitation patterns, impacting agriculture and natural water sources.

Increased Carbon Release:
Deforestation and degradation can release stored carbon, further exacerbating climate change.

That was the output on the assumption of 3 degrees warming.

We are on track of 3.1C warming.

5/
Changes in Ecosystems:
Coral reefs may face extensive bleaching, negatively affecting marine biodiversity and fishing communities.

Reduced Recreational Spaces:
As beaches erode and water quality declines, recreational water activities may diminish, impacting local businesses.

Ecosystem Changes: From Jungle to Savannah

Biodiversity Loss:
Tropical forests may be replaced by savannah ecosystems, resulting in the loss of species diversity.

Greater incidence of vector-borne diseases as habitat extends for carriers such as mosquitoes.

Economic Consequences:
Rising costs for cooling, healthcare, and disaster recovery impacting local economies.

Specific Impacts on Beaches

Beach Erosion and Loss:
Many beaches will disappear due to sea level rise, leading to economic loss in tourism sectors.

Specific Impacts on Cities

Infrastructure Stress:
Heat-related Failures: Transportation systems and energy grids may struggle due to higher temperatures.

Water Supply Risk: Reduced freshwater availability due to changes in precipitation patterns.

Public Health Risks:
Increased respiratory and cardiovascular conditions from heat and air quality deterioration.

Increased Heatwaves: Urban areas, often referred to as "heat islands," will experience intensified heat, causing health issues and increased energy demands.

Sea Level Rise: Coastal cities may face significant flooding due to melting ice caps and glaciers, as well as thermal expansion of seawater.

Extreme Weather: Increased frequency of storms, hurricanes, and heavy rainfall can lead to infrastructure damage in cities and coastal areas.

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find archived article, and the only other link on headtopics is also no longer valid.

I don't usually resort to and post AI output, but will do so in this case:

Impacts of 3 Degrees of Warming on Cities and Beaches

General Implications

A global temperature rise of 3 degrees Celsius poses severe risks to urban areas and coastal regions. The following are some major implications:

19th-century afforestation policies have predisposed mountain slopes to forest expansion under recent climate warming in the southern French Alps. The 1860 Mountain Reforestation Law, locally implemented by an 1864 decree, combined with rural depopulation and a decline in pastoral activities, significantly reduced anthropogenic pressure, facilitating natural forest regeneration in this area. These historical transformations have predisposed the landscape to continued forest expansion, with recent climate warming further amplifying this trajectory over the past four decades.

There is a report on #Hurricane #Helene and the damage and losses it caused last September.
Luckily, this can never happen again because the new government, #Murica's beloved junta, has forbidden the term #climatewarming. Biden is to blame for Helene!

Despite much recent progress, our understanding of #PlantPhenology response to #ClimateChange remains incomplete. Lu Bai et al. carried out a #Meta-analysis of plant phenology in relation to temperature changes across a range of plant species and functional groups in northern China. The results show that #ClimateWarming tended to extend the duration of #ReproductivePhenology while having no effect on the duration of #VegetativePhenology.

12.09.2024, early in the morning, on the upper right side of the tidal river Elbe

a single rose-ringed parakeet* is sitting on the roof top, chatting and calling or maybe cursing.

This is the first year and the second time this year that this species is sighted here in the countryside in the North.
