And these recent events, even just the last year, are a trailer of our climate future.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Our governor says California is experiencing climate change fast forward. The impacts are here now and happening fast. Sounds like you agree with him? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"related coverage\" tag=\"climate-change\"]I absolutely agree. California, like everywhere else on the planet, is experiencing the changing climate right now. We know that episodic droughts are natural occurrences in the state, but coupled with higher temperatures, this really puts incredible stress on agriculture and on our natural ecosystems. The warmer temperatures are drying vegetation faster and leading to longer fire seasons. And our firefighters really recognize this as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the same time, the warmer winters are allowing populations of tree-damaging insects to multiply faster, and they’re putting drought-stressed forests at greater risk. We are well on the path to a new climate normal. And that path is going to be pretty rocky in nearly every part of the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Given all of that, do we need these big U.N. reports to come faster?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think so. In the past decades, we’ve really been content to leave the climate change policy to international diplomats, our federal, and even state representatives. The science input that they get, we’ve left up to the IPCC. But it’s clear that scientific support for local planning and decision-making is necessary — and the need for this is only growing. An influx of information every seven years is not quite adequate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even the U.N. has asked the IPCC for more specific, policy-directed interim reports. We need to address these needs. And to do that, we require new kinds of partnerships between scientists and communities and new organizational infrastructure as well. This is a pretty tall order, but I know it’s one that many climate researchers are willing to support. And I expect that there are communities around the state who would be very grateful to have more regular input and a clearer vision for what their communities can expect as they make decisions about issues like land-use planning or public safety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"Hundreds of the world’s top scientists are hashing out final details of the next UN climate report, as the world is tested, again, by extreme heat, drought, flood and fires.","status":"publish","parent":0,"modified":1704846489,"stats":{"hasAudio":false,"hasVideo":false,"hasChartOrMap":false,"iframeSrcs":[],"hasGoogleForm":false,"hasGallery":false,"hasHearkenModule":false,"hasPolis":false,"paragraphCount":23,"wordCount":1027},"headData":{"title":"The Latest Global Climate Report Is Set to Publish.

California, like everywhere else on the planet, is experiencing the changing climate right now. We know that episodic droughts are natural occurrences in the state, but coupled with higher temperatures, this really puts incredible stress on agriculture and on our natural ecosystems. The warmer temperatures are drying vegetation faster and leading to longer fire seasons. And our firefighters really recognize this as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the same time, the warmer winters are allowing populations of tree-damaging insects to multiply faster, and they’re putting drought-stressed forests at greater risk. We are well on the path to a new climate normal. And that path is going to be pretty rocky in nearly every part of the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Given all of that, do we need these big U.N. reports to come faster?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think so. In the past decades, we’ve really been content to leave the climate change policy to international diplomats, our federal, and even state representatives. The science input that they get, we’ve left up to the IPCC. But it’s clear that scientific support for local planning and decision-making is necessary — and the need for this is only growing. An influx of information every seven years is not quite adequate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even the U.N. has asked the IPCC for more specific, policy-directed interim reports. We need to address these needs. And to do that, we require new kinds of partnerships between scientists and communities and new organizational infrastructure as well. This is a pretty tall order, but I know it’s one that many climate researchers are willing to support. And I expect that there are communities around the state who would be very grateful to have more regular input and a clearer vision for what their communities can expect as they make decisions about issues like land-use planning or public safety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/science/1976060/the-latest-global-climate-report-is-set-to-publish-next-month-heres-what-to-expect","authors":["11608"],"categories":["science_31","science_33","science_35","science_40","science_4450","science_3730"],"tags":["science_194","science_3253","science_1460"],"featImg":"science_1976062","label":"source_science_1976060"},"science_1951153":{"type":"posts","id":"science_1951153","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"science","id":"1951153","score":null,"sort":[1575312155000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"u-n-chief-presses-developed-countries-to-step-up-climate-change-fight","title":"U.N.

By every available measure, this is something we simply must do. …\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the words of the report itself, although “there is no documented historic precedent” for the scale of changes that would be necessary, the world has briefly achieved such rapid change at regional levels during previous times of great crisis — like, during World War II or in the midst of the energy crisis of the 1970s.

But as a planet, we’re in control of our own destinies.

As a planet, we are coursing along a trajectory that brings us north of four degrees by the end of the century. The IPCC is right that two degrees marks a world of climate catastrophe. Four degrees is twice as bad as that. And that is where we are headed, at present — a climate hell twice as hellish as the one the IPCC says, rightly, we must avoid at all costs. But the real meaning of the report is not “climate change is much worse than you think,” because anyone who knows the state of the research will find nothing surprising in it. The real meaning is, “you now have permission to freak out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As recently as a year ago, when I published \u003ca href=\"http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2017/07/climate-change-earth-too-hot-for-humans.html\">a magazine cover story\u003c/a> exploring worst-case scenarios for climate change, alarmism of this kind was considered anathema to many scientists, \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/doomsday-scenarios-are-as-harmful-as-climate-change-denial/2017/07/12/880ed002-6714-11e7-a1d7-9a32c91c6f40_story.html?noredirect=on&utm_term=.21f14fb70c92\">who believed that storytelling that focused on the scary possibilities was just as damaging to public engagement as denial.\u003c/a> There have been a few scary developments in climate research over the past year — more methane \u003ca href=\"https://www.newsweek.com/arctic-permafrost-lakes-bubbling-methane-nasa-1119624\">from Arctic lakes\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.hcn.org/issues/50.3/an-unfrozen-north\">permafrost\u003c/a> than expected, which could accelerate warming; \u003ca href=\"http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2018/07/climate-change-wildfires-heatwave-media-old-news-end-of-the-world.html\">an unprecedented heat wave, arctic wildfires, and hurricanes rolling through both of the world’s major oceans this past summer\u003c/a>.

In other words, like now but much, much worse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A lot has been written about the report and its implications.

But as a planet, we’re in control of our own destinies. That’s very good news… if we’re willing to rise to the challenge. “This is really bad, but it doesn’t have to be as bad,” says [University of Chicago geophysical sciences professor David] Archer. “The story has yet to be written.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://nymag.com/intelligencer/2018/10/un-says-climate-genocide-coming-but-its-worse-than-that.html\">UN Says Climate Genocide Is Coming.

As a planet, we are coursing along a trajectory that brings us north of four degrees by the end of the century. The IPCC is right that two degrees marks a world of climate catastrophe. Four degrees is twice as bad as that. And that is where we are headed, at present — a climate hell twice as hellish as the one the IPCC says, rightly, we must avoid at all costs. But the real meaning of the report is not “climate change is much worse than you think,” because anyone who knows the state of the research will find nothing surprising in it. The real meaning is, “you now have permission to freak out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As recently as a year ago, when I published \u003ca href=\"http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2017/07/climate-change-earth-too-hot-for-humans.html\">a magazine cover story\u003c/a> exploring worst-case scenarios for climate change, alarmism of this kind was considered anathema to many scientists, \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/doomsday-scenarios-are-as-harmful-as-climate-change-denial/2017/07/12/880ed002-6714-11e7-a1d7-9a32c91c6f40_story.html?noredirect=on&utm_term=.21f14fb70c92\">who believed that storytelling that focused on the scary possibilities was just as damaging to public engagement as denial.\u003c/a> There have been a few scary developments in climate research over the past year — more methane \u003ca href=\"https://www.newsweek.com/arctic-permafrost-lakes-bubbling-methane-nasa-1119624\">from Arctic lakes\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.hcn.org/issues/50.3/an-unfrozen-north\">permafrost\u003c/a> than expected, which could accelerate warming; \u003ca href=\"http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2018/07/climate-change-wildfires-heatwave-media-old-news-end-of-the-world.html\">an unprecedented heat wave, arctic wildfires, and hurricanes rolling through both of the world’s major oceans this past summer\u003c/a>. But by and large the consensus is the same: We are on track for four degrees of warming, more than twice as much as most scientists believe is possible to endure without inflicting climate suffering on hundreds of millions or threatening at least parts of the social and political infrastructure we call, grandly, “civilization.” The only thing that changed, this week, is that the scientists, finally, have hit the panic button.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07oe1m67eik\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SNL Weekend Update\u003c/a>\u003c/strong> (Michael Che)\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/07oe1m67eik'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/07oe1m67eik'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>Don’t get me wrong, I 100 percent believe in climate change.

And therefore … we can’t look to politics to solve it. … I think the time and energy we spend seeking a political solution would be better spent saying we need massive funding for R-and-D, massive funding for energy experimentation, massive funding for ways to make alternative fuels cheaper and thus more attractive in the marketplace. …\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dickerson: I think the question is: Are sensible measures possible in the current American political climate on this particular question, where sensible is defined as the acts that you would take to ameliorate the effects of something that the president doesn’t believe exists, or he believes that trying to combat will only hurt all of the constituencies he cares about.
