Consumption and investments of wealthy individuals have had disproportionate impacts on extreme weather events Ten per cent of the world's richest individuals have a higher carbon footprint than the poorest 50 per cent Extreme climate impacts are not just the result of abstract global emissions, they are linked to wealth

A new study by Australian researchers reveals that a 4-degree Celsius rise in global temperatures could devastate the global economy, cutting GDP by 40% by 2100.

From July to December, all months except August were the second hottest on record, trailing only 2023. 

2024 is officially on track to be the hottest year in history Global temperatures from January to November have already risen 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels Heatwaves in places like Mexico, Mali, and Saudi Arabia caused thousands of deaths

Nations at the talks are trying to set new targets to cut such emissions, and figure out how much rich nations will pay to help the world with that task. 

Researchers on Tuesday said that the extent of sea ice in Antarctica reached only 17.0 million square kilometres on September 7 This marks the lowest level of Antarctic sea ice coverage since satellite records began The previous winter low of 17.1 million square km was set on the same day in 2023

In the past three days, nearly twelve flights have been cancelled, causing several passengers to report being stranded at Leh airport. 

Soaring plains temperatures have driven millions to overcrowded hill stations in Jammu & Kashmir, Uttarakhand, and Himachal Pradesh, causing massive traffic jams and environmental strain.

The flooding has hampered rescue efforts, with dozens of people still waiting to be evacated by boat or helicopter from stricken homes. Small boats crisscrossed the flooded town searching for survivors.  

The expanding glacial lakes also pose a significant risk of outburst floods which may have devastating effects on the communities living downstream.

Wildfire smoke has far-reaching impacts, affecting people who are far away from the fires themselves A broad array of disease burdens and specific risks to persons with specific conditions have been associated with floods and hurricanes Intense heat waves due to climate change can lead to an increased risk of heat strokes, especially in people aged above 80

The series of unexpected weather patterns experienced in February, culminating in concerns over a potentially scorching March, underscores the significant impact of climate change and the El Niño phenomenon on global weather systems.

In one of the first of several teams of science agencies to calculate how off-the-charts warm 2023 was, the European climate agency Copernicus said the year was 1.48 degrees Celsius (2.66 degrees Fahrenheit) above pre-industrial times. 

Due to Global Warming, glaciers are melting rapidly...the earth's temperature is increasing. The weather is changing all over the world including India. In some places there is drought and in other places unseasonal rains have made life difficult for people. Sea levels are rising every year, and all these problems have the same root... climate change. Jakarta city is the fastest sinking city in the world which has sunk 16 feet in 25 years.

Due to Global Warming, glaciers are melting rapidly... Due to these melting glaciers, the sea level has increased. If the sea level continues to rise in this manner, then by the year 2100, 5 countries will be submerged in the sea. Even though there are still 70-75 years left for these countries to be completely submerged, but gradually the effect of rising sea levels is becoming visible on these countries.

The problem of the whole world is to move forward on the path of industrial development without harming the environment. The earth's climate is paying the price of industrial development, which is harming the entire world. Climate change is a problem that is slowly being felt, but is showing fatal effects. The 28th COP meeting to discuss climate change, i.e. COP 28, is going on in UAE this year, in which 160 countries have participated this time. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has also reached Dubai to attend this meeting. Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed other countries here, in which he held some developed countries responsible for the problems being faced due to climate change. Without naming any country, he said that the entire world is paying the price for the actions of a few countries.

160 countries are discussing climate change at the COP-28 Summit in Dubai. All countries are giving suggestions on how to deal with the threat of climate change and what steps should be taken.

Study reveals that climate change events may change brain structure, function, and overall health, while calling for more research to evaluate how this may explain changes in well-being and behaviour.
