Springtij 2015 - presentatie Leo Meyer
The document summarizes key findings from the IPCC AR5 Synthesis Report on limiting global temperature increase to 2°C. It states that global GHG emissions must peak within the next 5-15 years and be 40-70% lower by 2050 compared to 2010 levels. Net zero or negative emissions are required by 2100. However, 65% of the carbon budget compatible with a 2°C goal has already been used up through 2011, leaving only a small remaining budget. Ambitious mitigation actions are needed immediately to prevent exceeding the 2°C limit.

1) The document discusses the need to rapidly transition away from fossil fuels to address climate change, citing reports showing the risks of exceeding 1.5°C of warming.
2) It argues against common myths that addressing climate change will be too expensive or difficult, pointing to examples of countries and industries making fast transitions to renewable energy.
3) The document promotes a "Carbon Law" approach to cut emissions 50% by 2030 through technological and policy solutions, as well as changes in individual behavior.
Climate Change
The document discusses the urgent threat of climate change and calls for immediate and revolutionary action to transition to a sustainable economy and address the climate crisis. It outlines the science showing rising global temperatures and warnings from climate scientists. It argues that current emissions reduction targets are insufficient and will need to be stronger, such as achieving 90% reductions by 2030. It calls for eliminating fossil fuels, prioritizing renewable energy, protecting forests, revolutionizing transport, and ensuring workers and communities are involved in the transition through public ownership and democratic control.
Plans for the Sixth Assessment Cycle
The document summarizes the history and activities of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). It outlines the IPCC's assessment reports from 1988 to the present, which have informed international agreements like the UNFCCC and Paris Agreement. The IPCC was awarded the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize for its efforts to disseminate knowledge about climate change. Current activities include special reports, the sixth assessment cycle through 2022, and outreach events to share information about the IPCC's work.
Improving scientific graphics of climate (change) data
Creating visuals of data is a critical part of our jobs as scientists. We use figures for journal publications, presentations, posters, and science communication. This week we'll discuss a framework for making better figures, particularly in the climate sciences. I will also give examples of what not to do, and how we can improve these figures moving forward. e
Synthesis Report
The document summarizes key findings from the IPCC Fifth Assessment Report. It finds that human influence has clearly warmed the climate system and further emissions will worsen risks. Impacts are already occurring on all continents and oceans. Limiting warming to 2°C will require substantial emissions reductions, but delaying action will increase challenges. Equity issues around mitigation and adaptation must also be considered.
From AR5 to AR6 - Perspectives from Working Group III by Priyadarshi Shukla
This document outlines the key assessments and reports produced by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) from its First Assessment Report (FAR) in 1990 to plans for the upcoming Sixth Assessment Cycle. It notes that past IPCC reports have informed major international agreements like the UNFCCC and Kyoto Protocol. The AR5 concluded that greenhouse gas emissions growth between 2000-2010 was larger than previous decades, stabilization will require moving away from baseline scenarios, and the 2 degree Celsius target can be achieved through existing technologies, lifestyle changes, and bringing co-benefits. The upcoming Sixth Assessment will include three working group reports and a synthesis report, as well as special reports on topics like the 1.5 degree target and land

10. Climate Change: Building our climate change vocabulary
In this lecture in climate change philosophy, we introduce some "skeletal terms" that will serve as foundations for later thinking about climate policies and solutions. We build these around "mitigation, adaptation, and geoengineering" and "the Kaya Identity."
Main findings of the Working Group III - Fifth Assessment Report
1) The document summarizes the key findings of the IPCC's Fifth Assessment Report from Working Group III on mitigating climate change.
2) It finds that total greenhouse gas emissions have continued to increase from 1970-2010, with larger increases recently, despite climate policies.
3) Carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuels contributed 78% of the increased emissions over that period. Economic and population growth are the main drivers, outpacing emission reductions from improved energy intensity.
4) Without more ambitious mitigation efforts, emissions are projected to continue rising due to population and economic growth, resulting in 3.7-4.8°C of warming by 2100 compared to pre-industrial levels.
Media workshop - Climate Change Mitigation
The document summarizes key findings from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) regarding climate change mitigation. It notes that greenhouse gas emissions growth has been larger over 2000-2010 than previous decades. Effective mitigation requires transformation of energy systems through more efficient energy use, low-carbon energy sources, improved carbon sinks, and lifestyle changes. While challenging, limiting warming to 2°C is still possible through ambitious mitigation efforts implemented early.

This document provides an overview and timeline for the IPCC Special Report on Climate Change and Land (SRCCL). Key points:
1) SRCCL is one of the IPCC's Special Reports being produced during the AR6 cycle, with approval scheduled for August 2019.
2) SRCCL emerged from a cluster of six proposals related to land use and will examine the interlinkages between climate change, desertification, land degradation, food security, and greenhouse gas fluxes.
3) The report is structured around 7 chapters that will frame the issues, examine land-climate interactions, and explore interlinkages, risks, and response options.
4) The timeline outlines important upcoming dates for
Policymakers - Key messages on climate change mitigation
1) Stabilizing atmospheric concentrations to meet climate goals like 2°C requires moving away from fossil fuels and increasing carbon sinks through activities like reforestation.
2) The window for action is closing rapidly as over 65% of the carbon budget compatible with 2°C has already been emitted.
3) While current national climate commitments move in the right direction, more ambitious action across many areas including energy efficiency, renewable energy, carbon sinks, lifestyles, and all economic sectors is needed to meet long-term temperature goals in a cost-effective way.
WGI: The Physical Science Basis - Overview Presentation, Thomas Stocker
1) Warming of the climate system is unequivocal according to observations and understanding from the IPCC.
2) The concentrations of CO2 have increased to unprecedented levels in at least the last 800,000 years.
3) Further warming is expected to increase the likelihood of severe, pervasive, and irreversible impacts for people and ecosystems according to the IPCC.
Will planting trees be enough to fight climate change
Carbon dioxide (CO2), a major greenhouse gas that contributes to climate change, continues to increase rapidly in 2019. The average atmospheric CO2 has reached 414.8 parts-per-million (ppm) in May, the highest seasonal peak recorded in 61 years using the instruments of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California San Diego (UCSD) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Mauna Loa Observatory.
Climate in Architecture Design
Climate zones are determined by temperature and rainfall. Using data on temperature and rainfall, climographs can be created to show these climate characteristics. Two example climographs are provided and the document asks how they differ and what climate zone they could represent. The Köppen Climate Classification System is then introduced as the most widely used system for classifying the world's climates based on patterns of vegetation and soils that generally coincide with climatic regions defined by temperature and rainfall.
Key lessons from “A science-based call for financial decision-makers”
1) Limiting global warming to 1.5°C instead of 2°C significantly reduces physical risks like loss of warm-water corals and frequency of ice-free Arctic summers.
2) Achieving the 1.5°C target requires halving CO2 emissions by 2030 and reaching net zero CO2 by 2050 while also removing carbon from the atmosphere. This will require transitioning energy, land, industry, and urban systems.
3) Delaying climate action will increase both physical and transition financial risks over time. Accelerating the transition to low-carbon systems is needed to limit risks but also presents major economic opportunities, especially when coordinated with COVID-19 recovery efforts.
From IPCC WGIII AR5 to AR6
The document summarizes the key reports and findings of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) from its first assessment report (FAR) in 1990 to the upcoming sixth assessment report (AR6). It notes that previous assessment reports have informed major international agreements on climate change including the UNFCCC and Kyoto Protocol. It highlights some of the main conclusions from the IPCC's fifth assessment report (AR5) including that greenhouse gas emissions growth between 2000-2010 was larger than the previous three decades and that limiting warming to 2°C will require transformation of the energy system through technologies available today as well as lifestyle and behavior changes. The presentation concludes by outlining the main products planned for the AR6 cycle including
Differences in land CO2 fluxes between global models and country GHG inventor...
1) There are large differences between global models and country GHG inventories in their estimates of land CO2 fluxes, with models showing a higher net land sink of around 5 GtCO2/year.
2) This gap is mainly due to conceptual differences in what is considered "anthropogenic". Countries include the impact of indirect human-induced environmental changes over a larger managed forest area, while models treat much of this as natural.
3) Reconciling these differences is important for the Global Stocktake to properly assess countries' collective progress towards meeting mitigation pathways. Preliminary results ex-post processing IAM results to translate them into categories consistent with country approaches shows promise.
2C World
The document discusses deriving a 2 degree Celsius global warming scenario from climate change projections in the UK Met Office Google Earth layer. It shows images from September 2050 as being representative of a 2C global temperature increase. Several regions are highlighted as they are projected to be impacted, including arid and semi-arid regions, agriculture, Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, South America, the Arctic, and Antarctica. Methane hydrate locations are also noted as potential Arctic methane feedback sources under a 2C warming scenario.
Irvine and schaefer 2021 solar geoengineering
This document discusses the political challenges of solar geoengineering. It notes that the goals of the Paris Agreement to limit warming to 1.5-2°C may be difficult to achieve based on current emission reduction commitments. While solar geoengineering could potentially help reduce climate risks, there are concerns it could undermine emissions cuts, have unpredictable impacts if halted, and lead to conflicts over responsibility for weather events and democratic decision-making around its use. Independent assessment and consideration of alternatives would be needed to avoid interests prolonging fossil fuel use or decisions being captive to certain groups.
Using data visualization for effective science (communication)
This document discusses the effective use of data visualization for science communication. It provides examples of climate change visualizations, such as Ed Hawkins' striking strip plot of global temperature anomalies over time. The document emphasizes telling stories with data and using best practices for accessibility. It also advocates for open science through sharing code, data, and growing software tools to enable transparency and reproducibility in climate research.
Andy J Climate Change And Cassava In Latin America July 2009
This document discusses the expected impacts of climate change on cassava production in Latin America. Global climate models project increases in temperatures and changes in rainfall patterns across Latin America by 2050. Modeling studies also find that suitable areas for cassava cultivation will shift, with some areas gaining suitability while others may lose it. However, developing new cassava varieties with improved drought, heat, or cold tolerance could help address changes to climatic constraints and allow for expanded cassava production. Further analysis is still needed on pest and disease impacts and post-harvest effects, but crop improvement efforts can help support adaptation to climate change.
Mitigation of Climate Change
The document discusses greenhouse gas emissions from the industry sector based on the Working Group III contribution to the IPCC Fifth Assessment Report. It states that total emissions from the industry sector in 2010 were 15.5 GtCO2eq, representing over 30% of global emissions. Emissions come from both direct sources within the industry and indirect emissions from purchased electricity and heat. The document also notes there are significant opportunities to reduce emissions in a cost-effective manner through practices like improving energy efficiency, fuel switching, material efficiency, and deploying best available technologies.
Arctic climate change through the lens of data visualization
The document discusses climate change in the Arctic through data visualization. It notes that Arctic temperatures are rising more than 3 times faster than the global average. Sea ice extent is declining at a rate of nearly 0.8 million km2 per decade. Future projections show continued sea ice loss and Arctic warming, which could influence weather patterns in mid-latitudes through impacts on jet streams and storm tracks. Improved understanding of these connections and their dependence on factors like the quasi-biennial oscillation could help constrain predictions. Data visualization is presented as an important tool for communicating climate science.

Global Warming Listening Activity
The document discusses how rapidly Arctic sea ice is disappearing due to global warming. It states that Arctic ice may completely vanish by the end of the century according to US scientists. Recent satellite images showed ice volume was at record low levels, with an area over 5 times larger than the UK already lost. The loss of ice is occurring at a rate of 8% per year in a self-perpetuating cycle that could lead to temperatures not seen in over a million years if action is not taken.

Formation of tornadoes story board higher - Use with BBC Animation
Tornadoes require certain conditions to form, particularly intense or seasonal heat. A visible cone or funnel forms within the clouds and extends downward towards the ground. While no two tornadoes are exactly alike, they share common formation traits involving heat and the development of a funnel from the clouds.
Fujita Tornado Intensity - Cartoon Storyboard
The document discusses the Fujita Tornado Intensity Scale which is used to rate the strength of tornadoes. The scale ranges from F0 to F5 with increasing numbers indicating stronger tornadoes and greater damage. Descriptions of damage for each rating on the scale are provided to help identify the strength of a tornado.
Year 7 Geography - Tornadoes
The document provides information about natural hazards, specifically tornadoes. It includes:
1) Objectives to learn where tornadoes strike most frequently, which areas are most affected, and how tornadoes are measured.
2) The United States experiences more tornadoes than any other country and identifies states like Oklahoma, Kansas, and Texas as areas that would be visited during tornado season.
3) Information on the Fujita scale, which is used to rate tornadoes from F0-F5 based on damage caused. A factsheet is created to show each level of the scale.
River Management in Toulouse - GCSE Geography Case Study
Case study for river flood defence strategies. Site is in French, suitable for most of my students as they have French as a second or first language. Google Translate may come in handy otherwise.
Geography Revision Weekend Quiz
The document appears to be about the rules and questions for "The Frog & Rosbif Pub Quiz with Landlord Podbury". It contains 5 rounds of trivia questions covering topics like music, famous places, song lyrics, careers before fame, geographical features, and countries. The questions ask about artists, locations, capital cities, bodies of water, and a geographical term used in Australia. The document does not provide any information about where Podbury is located.
Year 7 Map Skills Test - Geography
The document appears to be a geography test on map skills for students in Year 7 at the International School of Toulouse. It contains 35 multiple choice and short answer questions testing students' abilities to interpret map symbols, use scales, calculate distances, find grid references, identify locations, and describe terrain features using contour lines. Students are instructed to refer to a laminated map of Cambridge and surrounding areas as they complete the test.
Grand Prix - Sports, Leisure & Tourism IB Geography
This document discusses analyzing social, cultural, economic, and political factors that affect participation and success in Formula One Grand Prix racing. It involves creating a graph of Formula One winners by continent to identify patterns in the origins of winning constructors and drivers from less economically developed and more economically developed countries. It also looks at the global pattern of Formula One circuits based on spectators from LEDCs and MEDCs, with specific comments on circuits in the Middle East and a LEDC.
Migration - IB Geography Labour Flows
Migration between Mexico and the United States is a complex issue with many causes and effects. Poverty and lack of opportunities in Mexico push many to migrate north, where there are more jobs and higher wages in the United States. However, illegal migration across the long border is a problem that costs both countries millions to address. While migrant workers benefit the US economy through their low-cost labor, they are also seen as drain and can cause social tensions. Remittances from migrants have become an important source of income for Mexico, but migration also creates imbalances like labor shortages and changes to family structure in Mexican towns.
Nevado del ruiz 1985
The 1985 eruption of Nevado del Ruiz volcano in Colombia was made deadly due to secondary effects of the eruption. The eruption melted the ice cap atop the volcano, causing massive lahars or mudflows that buried the town of Armero, killing nearly 23,000 people. While the primary eruption was not particularly powerful, a lack of early warning and effective evacuation led to the large loss of life. Lessons from this disaster emphasized improving monitoring of volcanoes to better predict eruptions and evacuate threatened populations.
Venice case study - Information Sheet
To go side by side with the YouTube video. Not written by me, just discovered on the internet. Thanks to authors.
Venice translation sheet.
The document discusses several problems with tourism in Venice. It notes that most tourism is "bite and run" where visitors only stay briefly. This type of mass tourism overwhelms the city and its infrastructure. Locals struggle with overcrowded boats and streets, as well as disrespectful behavior from some tourists. Suggested solutions include implementing small ticket taxes to fund cleanliness, separating tourist and local boat transportation, and promoting less visited areas to spread tourists out. However, Venice must also support its declining local population and control the negative impacts of its popularity and dependence on tourism.
