- Climate Change could mean we see a "Katrina" every two years by 2100;Extreme Storm Surges (like Sandy) projected to increase 10-fold! http://www.usatoday.com/story/weather/2013/03/18/storm-surge-hurricane-climate-change-global-warming/1997113/ 64 comments science
- Study: If climate crisis continues unabated then northern hemisphere summers could cover nearly half of the year by 2100, making them more than twice as long as they were in the 1950s. Unlike their counterparts of 1950s, future summers will be more extreme, with heatwaves and wildfires more likely. https://www.theguardian.com/news/2021/mar/20/summers-could-last-for-half-the-year-by-2100-climate-crisis 2369 comments science
- Beyond obvious generalities like sea level rise, what exactly are some specific projected trends for climate change in various parts of the world? What should we expect every decade up to 2100 based on what we know? https://www.reddit.com/r/askscience/comments/8gu6pt/beyond_obvious_generalities_like_sea_level_rise/ 8 comments askscience
- Climate change: UN report says planet to warm by 3.1 C without greater action • Current policies could lead to 3.1 C warming by 2100 • 1.5 C target likely out of reach without climate overshoot https://www.reuters.com/business/environment/climate-set-warm-by-31-c-without-greater-action-un-report-warns-2024-10-24/ 2 comments environment
- Rapid loss of Antarctic ice after 2100 likely under current emissions, climate scientists find. "The results show that beyond 2100, the long-term impact for the regions most susceptible to sea-level rise becomes amplified." https://phys.org/news/2024-09-rapid-loss-antarctic-ice-current.html 7 comments climate
- Climate change is expected to displace millions of people through impacts like sea level rise, crop failures, and more frequent extreme weather. The authors estimate that more than two million Bangladeshis may be displaced from their homes by 2100 because of rising sea levels alone. http://ioppublishing.org/universal-migration-predicts-human-movements-climate-change/ 19 comments science
- Mild weather losses from climate change won't be shared equally. Globally, we experience ~74 mild days annually, however, we may lose 10 mild days across the globe by 2100. That doesn’t seem like much, but the average masks regional changes: in some places, the number of mild days may drop by > 100. https://www.climate.gov/news-features/featured-images/mild-weather-losses-climate-change-wont-be-shared-equally 4 comments science
- Without efforts to mitigate climate change, summers spanning nearly six months may become the new normal by 2100 in the Northern Hemisphere, according to a new study. The change would likely have far-reaching impacts on agriculture, human health and the environment, according to the study authors. https://news.agu.org/press-release/northern-hemisphere-summers-may-last-nearly-half-the-year-by-2100/ 24 comments science
- Global wildfires in 2023 released 8.6 billion tons of carbon dioxide, 16% above average. Climate change has already increased frequency of extreme wildfires by 3.3 times in Canada and 24 times in Amazonia. Current emissions trajectory could make such extreme events 6-10 times more likely by 2100. https://essd.copernicus.org/articles/16/3601/2024/ 14 comments science
