Adaptation at Altitude’s Post

As unpredictable weather patterns driven by global warming become more common, governments and communities must rethink their approach to flood management, integrating technology, community awareness and adaptive infrastructure to minimize damage. https://lnkd.in/eiqEg7Xn Rhett Ayers Butler Mongabay News The Japan Times ClimateChange Resilience Org

As global warming has become an undeniable reality, its impacts are increasingly apparent across various sectors. A notable short-term strategy for #insurers to mitigate the escalating costs linked to extreme weather events is to form effective #partnerships. Global warming is significantly affecting #hailstorms, with changes observed in their intensity, frequency, and patterns. These shifts demand strategic collaborations to manage risks and reduce financial burdens effectively. In particular, hailstorms develop with increased Intensity: warmer temperatures lead to more moisture in the atmosphere, causing #hailstones to form more frequently and grow larger. This results in more severe hailstorms, which can cause significant damage to vehicles, from #dents and shattered windows to compromised structural integrity. The increased size and frequency of hailstones lead to more extensive damage to vehicles, resulting in higher repair costs. This poses a greater financial burden on insurers who must cover these damages. In this evolving climate landscape, insurers need reliable partners to help manage and mitigate these risks. EuroGrandine stands out as a key partner, providing essential solutions to reduce costs associated with hail damage to vehicles, namely high quality #pdr services, and enhance resilience against the impacts of global warming.

Day 3: How Climate Change is Increasing Disaster Risks ✏️Climate change is accelerating the frequency and intensity of natural disasters such as floods, wildfires, and hurricanes. Today’s post explores how global warming is reshaping disaster risks and why mitigation strategies are more important than ever.📌 #ClimateChange🌦️ #DisasterRisks⛑️ #NADMOGH🦺 #preventionpays👍🏾 #staysafe🚨 #nykk🔍

🌍 Global Warming and Climate Change: A Call for Action 🔥 As global temperatures rise, the impacts of climate change are becoming increasingly evident and alarming. From severe forest fires to melting glaciers, the ripple effects on our planet are hard to ignore. 🚨 Key Consequences: 1. Tornadoes: Increased frequency and intensity due to unstable, warm air. 2. Forest Fires: Drier forests lead to more frequent and severe wildfires. 3. Eruptions: While natural, volcanic activities are influenced by climate change. 4. Deglaciation: Melting glaciers contribute to rising sea levels and loss of habitats. 5. Tsunamis: Higher sea levels heighten the risk of coastal flooding. 6. Landslides: More intense rainfall destabilizes slopes. 7. Drought: Prolonged droughts disrupt agriculture and ecosystems globally. Climate change is not a distant threat; it's happening now. Let's collectively work towards reducing our carbon footprint and fostering sustainability in our communities. 🌱 #ClimateChange #GlobalWarming #Sustainability #EnvironmentalImpact #EcoFriendly #GreenPlanet #SaveTheEarth #OYUGreen

Building resilience: constructing for climate change challenges   Climate change is no longer just an “Inconvenient Truth” but a living reality as we witness daily disasters caused by global warming. Violent storms, heavy snowfalls and unbearable heatwaves, hurricanes and cyclones, flash floods, rampant wildfires and drought are all evidence of climate change wreaking havoc on people and property.

It's easy to get caught up in the constant stream of news and information, especially when it comes to concerns about our safety and well-being. As a 59 year old, I grew up with nuclear war was a major concern However, it's interesting to note that today, nuclear threats are much lower on the list of concerns than they were 40-50 years ago Growing up in Montreal less than 90 minutes from Plattsburgh NY US Air Force base & a major launching of B52 and other bombers, a major Soviet target. Our educators via government produced movies suggest for us the get under our desks in elementary school while demonstrating the dissipated images of nuclear impact to little kids! Despite this, there will always be something that causes worry and anxiety. That's why it's important to read between the lines and not let the media, government, or big business fool us. It's crucial to ask questions, challenge the narrative, and live our lives to the fullest. Don't let fear hold you back.

ICYMI: Fascinating data-driven report from First Street on "Climate Abandonment Areas", showing that climate change is causing migration in the US. How much? "... a cumulative net loss of over 3.2 million in population between the years of 2000 and 2020 directly attributed to flooding." Drought, fires, cyclones, and extreme storms are also causing climate migration. It's long been known that GHGs would cause the climate to change and the world has done little about it, and we're just about to the 1.5 C limit that almost all nations agreed to meet, and the warming is probably going to get to 2.5-3.0 C at least. With the increased warming comes exponential change in heavy precipitation, droughts, and extreme heat (ref: IPCC AR6). This is going to get a lot worse, folks, and that's terrible for the planet and its people. What will happen is adaptation while implementing innovative tools and solutions to make the impact as bearable as possible, even while the needed push for Net Zero is slowed by greed as well as political and nationalistic forces.
