- As concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere has increased, the ocean has absorbed about 25% of total carbon emissions. However, climate change has moderated (or degraded) the oceanic CO2 sink capacity by 13% over the last two decades, driven by changes also in global temperatures and wind circulation. https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/2023GL107030 6 comments science

The likelihood of crossing the 1.5°C threshold and the 2.0°C threshold is 83% and 55%, respectively even if GHG concentration remain at today's level. https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/2022EF003250 49 comments science
- The treaty to protect the ozone layer might have a blind spot: emissions of a short-lived chemical from power plants, desalinization plants & ballast water from ships. Industrial releases of bromoform, an ozone-depleting compound that is also emitted by seaweed, are much higher than expected. https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/2023GL102894 4 comments science

- Cities worldwide are adding area by converting wetlands and shallow waters into solid land. The world’s major coastal cities added roughly 2,530 square kilometres of land — more than 40 times the size of Manhattan — to their coastlines from 2000 to 2020, reveals a survey of satellite imagery. https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/2022EF002927 40 comments science

- Global cities are sinking — and humans are partly to blame. Some coastal cities are subsiding by dozens of millimetres per year, making them even more vulnerable to sea-level rise triggered by climate change. https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/2022GL098477 19 comments science
- Satellite records show that saltwater ice on the Arctic Ocean has dwindled rapidly in the span of a few years.The Arctic’s sea ice lost around 12.5% of its volume between 2018 and 2021, mostly because the ‘multiyear’ ice that persists through the summer melt is thinning. https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/2021GL097448 2 comments science

- Household demand for air conditioning is projected to increase by up to 13% in the U.S. under a 2°C warmer world. Failure to meet this increased demand may lead to prolonged blackouts, with the average household in some states facing up to 14 days without air conditioning in a given summer. https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1029/2021EF002434 23 comments science
