- The document analyzes the extremist view on climate change and finds little scientific basis for its key claims, such as a temperature increase greater than 3°C by 2100, a significant chance of large sea level rise from melting ice sheets, and an already increased occurrence of extreme weather events due to global warming. - Most evidence supports only modest global warming around 1°C over the past century from human greenhouse gas emissions, lower than the projections of climate models. Natural factors like ocean cycles and solar activity have also influenced temperatures.

The document summarizes key climate changes and impacts for different regions in Asia based on the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report. It finds that temperatures across Asia have increased over recent decades and will continue to rise faster than the global average. Heavy precipitation events are also becoming more frequent and intense. Specific impacts highlighted include increased heat waves, declining snow and glacier cover in high mountain Asia, more frequent droughts in parts of East Asia, and rising sea levels impacting coastal and delta regions.
Climate change!
Climate change is occurring globally and affecting Greece. Average temperatures in Greece have increased by 0.4-0.6°C per decade since 1961-1990, with the largest increases observed in summer temperatures. Models project further warming of 7-10°C in Greece by 2100 under high emissions scenarios. This additional warming would exacerbate heat waves which have already increased in intensity and frequency. Related effects include altered precipitation patterns, rising sea levels, and increased risks of wildfires and natural disasters like flooding. Climate change poses serious challenges for agriculture, natural ecosystems, and communities throughout Greece.
General intro on European Climate Change and CID’s (guided by Factsheet Europe)
The document summarizes key findings from the Sixth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Working Group I on the physical science basis of climate change for the European region. It finds that temperatures are rising across Europe faster than the global average and heat waves are increasing, while cold spells are decreasing. Precipitation patterns are changing with more heavy rainfall in northern Europe in winter and drying in the Mediterranean in summer. Sea level rise and coastal flooding are increasing, and snow and ice cover is declining at high altitudes and latitudes. Specific regional impacts are also discussed, such as increased flooding in northern and western Europe but decreased flooding and increased fire risk in eastern Europe. The combination of changes poses increased risks
Regional Climate Information: Small Islands - Tropical cyclones
This document summarizes key points from the Sixth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Working Group I about the impacts of tropical cyclones on small islands. It notes that tropical cyclones can have devastating impacts through damaging winds, storm surge, and heavy rainfall, but can also provide beneficial water resources. The document discusses past trends of increased tropical cyclone intensity, higher proportion of strong storms, increased extreme sea levels, and potential slowing of storm speed. Projections indicate greater effects from tropical cyclones as temperatures increase further, including stronger storms, higher rainfall rates, increased storm surge, and potential increased lifetime. However, changes in frequency, location, and speed have low confidence in projections.
Global warming
Global warming refers to the increase in average surface temperatures on Earth since the late 19th century due to human-caused emissions of greenhouse gases. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change concludes that human activity such as burning fossil fuels has been the main driver of increased temperatures since the mid-20th century. If emissions continue at a high rate, global surface temperatures are projected to increase between 1.1 to 6.4°C by 2100. Increased temperatures are expected to cause sea level rise, more extreme weather events, and disruptions to ecosystems. While opinions vary on responses, many countries have agreed to limit greenhouse gas emissions through agreements like the Kyoto Protocol.
Introducing Asian climate change
Human activities are causing unprecedented climate change, making extreme weather events more severe. Every region is affected in multiple ways, and changes already seen will intensify with additional warming. Unless greenhouse gas emissions are rapidly reduced, limiting warming to 1.5-2°C will be impossible. Regional differences exist, even within Asia, with warming strongest over land and in the Arctic. Human influences on climate change are increasingly apparent at regional and local scales, including different parts of Asia.
High latitudes
The document summarizes key findings from the IPCC's Sixth Assessment Report regarding observed and projected climate trends in Northern Europe. It finds that annual precipitation has increased significantly in Northern Europe since the early 20th century, along with increases in heavy precipitation events. Projections estimate further increases in precipitation and pluvial flooding at global warming levels exceeding 1.5°C. Regional warming is also virtually certain to reduce snow cover duration and accumulation. Glaciers in the European Alps and Scandinavia are projected to experience reductions in ice volume.
Global warming &climate changes
Global warming &climate changesGlobal temperature measurements remote from human habitation and activity show no evidence of a warming during the last century. Such sites include “proxy” measurements such as tree rings, marine sediments and ice cores, weather balloons and satellite measurements in the lower atmosphere, and many surface sites where human influence is minimal.

IPCC 2013 report on Climate Change - The Physical Basis
"Climate Change 2013: The Physical Science Basis" is a comprehensive assessment of the physical aspects of climate change, which puts a focus on the elements that are relevant to understand past, document current, and project future climate change.
The report covers observations of changes in all components of the climate system and assess the current knowledge of various processes of the climate system.
Direct global-scale instrumental observation of the climate began in the middle of the 19th century, and reconstruction of the climate using proxies such as tree rings or the content of sediment layers extends the record much further in the past.
The present assessment uses a new set of new scenarios to explore the future impacts of climate change under a range of different possible emission pathways.

Climate change as a global challenge
The document summarizes key findings from the 5th Assessment Report (AR5) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). It discusses the IPCC's assessment of evidence that human activity is the dominant cause of observed warming since 1950. It also notes that future warming is projected to cause sea level rise, ocean acidification, and further changes to glaciers, Arctic sea ice, and oceans. While some adaptation is possible, there are limits, and increasing impacts pose growing challenges.
Climate Change Implications for South Asia
Presentation made by Vasudha Foundation Programme Manager Siddharth Chatpalliwar at the "Low Carbon Options in South Asia" workshop held in Nepal in August 2014.
climate changeftgkl
This document discusses climate and the potential impacts of climate change on human health and agriculture. It defines climate and differentiates it from weather. It then describes the various natural and human-caused factors that can influence climate on both short and long timescales. The document outlines several ways climate change may negatively impact human health, such as through increased heat waves, extreme weather events, changes in air quality, and shifting patterns of climate-sensitive diseases. It also discusses some of the uncertainties around how climate change will precisely affect agriculture and considers various climate factors that could influence crop yields.
Unit 2 weather and climate
This document discusses key concepts relating to the atmosphere and climate including the greenhouse effect, weather, climate, climatic elements such as temperature, humidity, air pressure, wind and precipitation. It also outlines the instruments used to measure these elements like thermometers, hygrometers, rain gauges, barometers, anemometers and wind vanes. Finally, it touches on climatic factors that influence climate such as distance from the ocean, relief, altitude and latitude as well as seasons, climatic change, weather maps and forecasts.
Greenhouse Gases
The document discusses whether global warming is caused by increased greenhouse gas concentrations from human activity or natural processes like variations in solar activity. It aims to identify if increased anthropogenic greenhouse gases have measurably increased temperatures and whether natural factors could also explain warming. The hypothesis is that fluctuations in the solar cycle have warmed the Earth. It will obtain temperature, greenhouse gas, and solar data to analyze annually and determine the strongest cause of temperature changes to inform potential solutions.
Global warming & Various Aspects
This document discusses global climate change and its various aspects. It provides an overview of the history and science of global warming, summarizing that increasing greenhouse gas emissions are causing the planet to warm due to human activities. Main greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide are explained in terms of their sources and impacts. The effects of global warming are expected to include continued temperature rise, more extreme weather, sea level rise, and effects on ecosystems. International agreements to address climate change like the UNFCCC and Kyoto Protocol are also summarized.

What are climate anomalies and why are they important? (BC3 Summer School _Ju...BC3 - Basque Center for Climate Change
This presentation created and addressed by Omar Bellprat (IC3 Barcelona) in the intensive three day course from the BC3, Basque Centre for Climate Change and UPV/EHU (University of the Basque Country) on Climate Change in the Uda Ikastaroak Framework.
The objective of the BC3 Summer School is to offer an updated and multidisciplinary view of the ongoing trends in climate change research. The BC3 Summer School is organized in collaboration with the University of the Basque Country and is a high quality and excellent summer course gathering leading experts in the field and students from top universities and research centres worldwide.Ccss j merrill_overview-1
The document summarizes evidence of climate change from various scientific records and climate modeling. It discusses how ice core records show a link between atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations and temperature over the past 450,000 years. It also notes that recent greenhouse gas levels far exceed those of the past. Climate models simulate past warming accurately when including human factors like increased greenhouse gases. The models predict continued accelerated warming this century if emissions are not reduced substantially. Observations also show impacts of warming already, such as sea ice and glacier melting, more extreme weather, and sea level rise.
Weather and climate revised dade and duval
This document discusses weather and climate concepts for 5th grade students. It defines weather as the condition of the atmosphere at a particular place and time, noting that weather can change rapidly. It describes how weather is determined by air temperature, barometric pressure, humidity, wind speed and direction, and precipitation. It explains how these factors are measured using tools like thermometers, barometers, hygrometers, wind vanes, and rain gauges. The document also discusses different types of clouds and precipitation and how geographical features can impact climate zones.
Std 7 weather and climate
The document summarizes the key instruments and measurements taken at a weather station. A weather station continuously measures temperature, precipitation, wind, pressure, sunshine, and cloud cover. Standard instruments are used to allow for comparisons between weather stations. Temperature is recorded using thermometers housed in a Stevenson screen, which is painted white, raised above the ground, and has louvred sides. Precipitation, wind direction and speed, pressure, and sunshine are all also measured using common instruments like raingauges, wind vanes, anemometers, barometers, and Campbell-Stokes sunshine recorders. Clouds are observed and types recorded with instruments like nephoscopes.

Key Message - The physical science basis
The document summarizes key findings from an IPCC report on physical science basis of climate change:
1) Global warming trends since the mid-20th century are unequivocal due to human emissions increasing atmospheric greenhouse gases to unprecedented levels in the last 800,000 years.
2) If emissions continue at a high rate, global temperature increases by the late 21st century will likely exceed 1.5°C from pre-industrial levels. Regional impacts will vary but include more extreme heat waves, changes to precipitation patterns, and sea level rise.
3) Limiting future climate change will require substantial reductions in greenhouse gas emissions as cumulative emissions determine long term warming. Remaining uncertainties will be reduced in future

Global temperatures have increased over the past century, with the 15 hottest years occurring since 1990. Warming is projected to continue over the coming decades and centuries according to climate models. Projections show continents warming around 50% more than oceans, with the largest temperature increases at high northern latitudes. Precipitation patterns are also changing, with some areas receiving more rain and others less. The frequency and intensity of extreme weather events like heat waves, droughts, and heavy rain are also increasing. These changes are projected to impact human and natural systems.
IPCC AR6 August 2021 report review
The IPCC report provides the following key points:
- Global warming has already reached 1.2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels and further increases are inevitable due to past emissions.
- Most regions will see increases in hot temperature extremes, heavy precipitation events, and droughts.
- Sea level rise between 50cm to over 1 meter is expected by 2100, threatening coastal and island communities.
- Further warming will depend on future emissions but 4 degrees of warming by 2100 is possible without rapid emissions reductions.
Poteplenie klimata O. Gunder_11-b
Global warming is caused primarily by human-induced increases in greenhouse gases from burning fossil fuels and deforestation. The planet's average surface temperature has risen about 1°C since 1900, with about two-thirds of the increase occurring since 1980. If emissions continue at a high rate, global temperatures could increase by 2.4-6.4°C by 2100. Impacts are already apparent and include sea level rise, extreme weather events, and species extinction. Mitigating emissions through policy changes aims to limit further warming to under 2°C.

Climate change is increasing the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events like heat waves, droughts, and heavy precipitation. As global temperatures rise, the atmosphere can hold more water vapor, increasing moisture available for storms. Observations show more extreme heat, fewer cold extremes, more intense precipitation events, and longer dry spells. Studies find the 2003 European heat wave and other events were made more likely due to human-caused climate change. Climate models project further increases in heat waves, heavy rain, and other extremes as greenhouse gases continue to rise.

This document discusses trends in extreme weather events since 1900 and presents a conundrum for policymakers. It summarizes evidence that:
1) Weather was more extreme in the first half of the 20th century compared to the second half, contradicting claims that extremes are increasing due to anthropogenic warming.
2) Many data sources show no change in frequency or severity of extreme weather over the last 100 years, against expectations of increased extremes.
3) Temperature data has been "homogenized" through adjustments that tend to increase reported warming trends, undermining claims based on this data.
4) The disconnect between historical data and predictions of increased extremes poses challenges for engineering assessments of climate policy.
Globalwarming
The document discusses global warming and findings from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Key points include:
- Direct observations show unequivocal warming of the climate system through rising air and ocean temperatures, melting ice and snow, and rising sea levels.
- Various changes have been observed on continental, regional and ocean basin scales including changes in Arctic temperatures, precipitation amounts, ocean salinity and extreme weather.
- Global temperatures are rising faster in recent decades and the warmest years on record have all occurred since 1990. Arctic warming is double the global average.
- Greenhouse gas concentrations are far above pre-industrial levels due to human activity. Most warming since 1950 is
Climate Change Effects on Dengue Fever and Chagas' Disease

New Globalwarming
The document discusses global warming and climate change based on findings from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Key points include:
- Direct observations show it is undeniable that global temperatures have increased due to human activity like greenhouse gas emissions.
- Future climate projections estimate further global warming of 1.1-6.4°C by 2100 depending on emissions levels.
- Impacts are expected to include more extreme weather, rising sea levels, and disruption to natural systems.
- The Kyoto Protocol aims to reduce greenhouse gases but the US has refused to ratify it due to concerns about economic impacts.
An Expanded Critique of Some Climate Conclusions
The document summarizes Martin P. Hoerling's response to criticisms of claims made in a New York Times Op-Ed by James E. Hansen regarding the impacts of climate change. Hoerling takes issue with several specific assertions made by Hansen, arguing they are contrary to peer-reviewed literature and climate change assessments. He provides analysis and references to studies to support his counterarguments. The overall summary is that the certainty expressed in Hansen's claims is not supported by the current scientific understanding of regional climate change projections and uncertainties.
2006 mac michael-climate-human-health
There is scientific consensus that rising greenhouse gas emissions from human activity will cause global warming and other climate changes. The IPCC projects an increase in average global temperatures by 2100 of 1.4-5.8°C. Climate change will affect human health in many ways, both beneficial and adverse. Research has focused on impacts of extreme heat, infectious diseases, and food security, but climate change may also disrupt societies and economies in ways that indirectly impact health. While some effects are already apparent, such as heat waves increasing mortality, estimating future health impacts involves uncertainty. Evidence of health risks will strengthen arguments for policies to reduce emissions and adapt to climate change impacts.
Climate change: Extreme weather events
Climate change causes droughts, more rain, flooding, increase in tropical storms, forests fires, heat waves.
Global Warming Effects On Humans
Global warming will have widespread effects on human societies and economies. It is projected to increase extreme weather events, worsen droughts and wildfires, and raise sea levels. These changes will significantly impact agriculture, causing food shortages and higher prices that put hundreds of millions at risk of hunger by 2060. Coastal communities will be vulnerable to flooding and property damage. The costs of climate change are also economic, with estimates of annual losses of 5-20% of global GDP if no action is taken. Mitigation efforts could reduce these costs substantially.

- Tornadoes in the US have not increased in frequency, intensity or damage since 1950, and may have declined slightly. Floods and hurricanes also show no increasing trends in frequency or intensity over similar periods. Globally, weather-related economic losses have decreased as a proportion of GDP since 1990 despite greater development in vulnerable areas. While human-caused climate change poses risks, the data do not support claims of increasing trends in extreme weather events attributed to climate change. Projections suggest extremes may increase in the future, but detection of impacts on weather events will be difficult for many decades.
Mani ppt
Global warming is the rise in average global temperatures due to increased greenhouse gas emissions from human activities like burning fossil fuels. Climate models project further global temperature increases between 1.1 to 6.4°C by 2100 depending on emissions levels. Effects of warming include sea level rise, more extreme weather, and species extinction. Most countries have adopted policies through the UNFCCC to reduce emissions and adapt to climate change, with a goal of limiting warming to below 2°C.
Global Warming
1. Higher temperatures from global warming threaten dangerous consequences like drought, disease, floods, and lost ecosystems.
2. The accumulation of greenhouse gases like CO2 in the atmosphere from human activities like burning fossil fuels is causing global warming by enhancing the greenhouse effect.
3. The greenhouse effect is the rise in temperature that occurs because greenhouse gases in the atmosphere trap heat from the sun, creating a warmer climate than if the Earth's atmosphere was absent.

How to explain global warming The question of Attribution
How to explain global warming?
The question of Attribution
You learned about the evidence that proves anthropogenic climate change is
taking place. Now, let’s talk about how we explain the phenomena of global
warming.
Previously, you viewed this figure from the IPCC’s assessment report, showing
various factors that contribute to climate change. The next slide will include
further detail about each forcing component.
This figure is also from the IPCC’s assessment report. LOSU means ‘level of
scientific understanding’. In this figure, two different forcing components are
shown; anthropogenic and natural forcings. It is important to remember that
not only anthropogenic forcings, natural forcings also drive climate change. For
example, glacial/Interglacial cycles we observed from the ice core samples
earlier this semester that recorded atmospheric conditions over last 450,000
years are clearly caused by natural forcings as we, homo sapiens, did not exist
that time!
In this figure, each radiative forcing is associated with a value (watts per square
meter) quantifying how much each forcing contributes to climate change. Some
forcings have a negative number (contribute to cooling), whereas others have a
positive number (contribute to warming). The total net forcing is currently a
positive value. Thus, the climate trend is currently warming.
IPCC report
As shown in the previous figure, natural forcing can change climate. The
dominant energy source to change Earth’s climate, the sun, also varies its
energy emission. This figure shows natural changes in solar irradiance from
1874 to 1988. Solar irradiance is the amount of energy per unit area received
from the Sun. In recent decades, solar activity has been measured by satellites,
while before it was estimated using a proxy variation. Without satellite
observation, energy differences were too small to detect.
Solar irradiance is higher during a period called “solar maximum”, which
appears almost every 11 years. During a solar maximum, interesting features
that appears on the Sun’s surface…

Solar luminosity
Sunspot cycle (~11 year period,
~0.1% change in radiation
output)
(continued)
…are sunspots! Sunspots are relatively dark areas on the radiating surface of the
Sun, where intense magnetic activity inhibits convection and cools the
photosphere. Luminosity is the total amount of energy emitted by the Sun.
To summarize, more sunspot appears during a period of solar maximum, when the
Sun presents more intense magnetic activity (therefore higher luminosity).
Although solar irradiance was only recently measured by satellite, sunspots
have been observed for a very long time! The first such recording was made
by Galileo Galilei in the 17th century when he created the first telescope. In
addition, there are well documented historical records that captured solar
activity by Chinese astronomers. All records combined confirm ...

1) The document summarizes key findings from the IPCC's Special Report on Managing the Risks of Extreme Events and Disasters to Advance Climate Change Adaptation (SREX) regarding trends and projections for various climate extremes including floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, heat waves, drought, and wildfires.
2) The SREX found low confidence in attributed changes to many extremes due to lack of historical trends, but projected increases in some extremes like heat waves and drought in some regions.
3) The document discusses examples of extreme events from history that challenge the notion that recent extremes are unprecedented, such as the deadly 1936 North American heat wave.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.
- These are slides of the talk given at IEEE International Conference on Software Testing Verification and Validation Workshop, ICSTW 2022.
