Ocean warming due to climate change may wipe out 100% of marine species in tropical and subtropical regions. #UNESCO #ClimateChange #Coralreefs #Marinebiodiversity https://lnkd.in/gjZ5bMqH

Did you know that the Arctic is warming at twice the global average rate? This rapid warming is causing significant changes in the region, including the melting of permafrost, loss of sea ice, and disruption of wildlife habitats.

World Environment Day 2024. This year's theme focuses on land restoration, desertification and drought resilience. With the world hitting record temperatures this year, there is a need to double actions from the grassroots up to meet the global climate action framework. Africa has not been left out of the impact, every terrestrial ecosystem holds its uniqueness and we cannot afford to lose species and ecosystems to a warming climate. What can you do?

Climate warming is shifting the dynamics of the world’s vast #tundra environments and making them release trapped #carbon, according to a new study supported by the Hutton and published in the journal Nature Portfolio. These changes could transform tundras – treeless landscapes in polar regions that cover around 10% of the earth’s surface – from carbon sinks into a carbon source, exacerbating the effects of #climatechange.

🌳 Reporting on the vulnerability of Tasmania’s tall eucalypt forests under a warming climate, ‘Giants Under Threat’, was released in March on the International Day of Forests. The report summarises recent studies that have found the tall eucalypt forest at Warra, within the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area, shows an unusually high sensitivity to temperature rise.

What does the waters of northwest of Malaysia and northeast of Australia have in common? Both areas are host to a variety of coral species. But with the world heating up due to global warming, what does the future hold for this crucial reef building species? Coral bleaching - where corals expel the colourful algae that live in them, exposing their white coral skeleton. If conditions continue to persist, it could lead to the death of the coral as each polyp relies on the algae's photosynthesis to supplement it's food. The Malaysian Meteorological Department (MetMalaysia) issued a Level 1 heatwave alert a few weeks ago while researchers have Great Barrier Reef has reported mass bleaching in the Southern parts. We can only hope the temperatures return to normal, and our reefs can bounce back! #naturaltranslation #coralbleaching #climatechange #resilience

Extreme heat events are ravaging the planet. On 22 July the global average temperature hit a new high of 17.16°C – beating the previous record set just one day earlier. Deadly heatwaves have hit Mexico, Italy, Spain, Morocco, Portugal and France – causing hundreds of fatalities and bringing life to a halt. Wildfires in Greece are forcing people from homes and hospitals, with firefighting efforts hindered by high winds. In Australia, the Great Barrier Reef is facing “existential threats” of extreme ocean heat – the highest recorded temperatures in 400 years. These devastating events continue to highlight the effects of human-driven global warming. Corporations and governments must play their part in prioritising the climate and reducing their impact.

🌍 The Impacts of Climate Change on Our Oceans 🌊 Climate change is driving profound changes in ocean ecosystems that are expected to intensify in the coming decades. These changes extend beyond rising temperatures—global warming affects a wide range of ocean properties, including dissolved oxygen levels and pH, which are critical to marine life and biodiversity. However, these effects are not uniform; they vary significantly across different regions. By mapping and comparing these changes, we can gain a deeper understanding of how climate change influences our oceans, enabling better-informed strategies to protect these vital ecosystems. 🔍 This visualization highlights projected changes in ocean temperature, dissolved oxygen, and pH, based on CMIP6 data from NOAA. It underscores the urgent need for climate action to mitigate these impacts.

🌪 𝐓𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐂𝐲𝐜𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬 𝐃𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚 𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐂𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐨𝐫𝐲! 🌪 As global warming intensifies, the destructive power of tropical cyclones has surged, with peak wind speeds far exceeding the current maximum category 5 scale. Experts are now calling for the introduction of a new category 6 for cyclones with wind speeds above 309 km/hour. Discover how climate change is transforming these weather systems and the implications for coastal communities and infrastructure. Read the full article to understand the urgency of updating our cyclone classification systems to better prepare for these devastating storms. #ClimateChange #TropicalCyclones #GlobalWarming #ExtremeWeather #EnvironmentalImpact #Sustainability #ClimateAction

"Flooding in the Sahara Desert?! 🌧️🏜️ It’s hard to believe, but extreme weather is reaching even the driest places on Earth. This rare event is a result of shifting climate patterns driven by global warming. Rising temperatures are altering the atmosphere, causing unexpected rainstorms in areas like the Sahara. Moisture from the Mediterranean or tropical regions sometimes gets trapped and dumped, leading to these surprising floods. It's a clear reminder of how unpredictable and interconnected our climate is For more such climate news, follow Maiti Labs credits: @dwnews via instagram #SaharaFloods #ClimateChange #GlobalWarming #NatureIsWild #DesertRain #ExtremeWeather #ClimateCrisis"
