Episode 27: This year in Climate Change

Send a textIn this episode of the podcast, I have talked about what events occurred in 2020 and what were the temperatures recorded in each month. Christian aid report is the most detailed report of the events that occurred this year.  This was the last episode of this year. I wish everyone in advance a happy new year. Content:Temperature in JanuaryTemperature in February Temperature in MarchTemperature in AprilTemperature in MayTemperature in JuneTemperature in JulyTemperature in AugustTemperature in SeptemberTemperature in OctoberTemperature in November Temperature in December Climate Change Events:Australia: BushfiresEast Africa: Locust swarmsEurope: Windstorms Clara & AlexBay of Bengal: Cyclone AmphanUS and Central America: Atlantic HurricanesChina: FloodsIndia: FloodsJapan: Kyushu FloodsPakistan: FloodsUS: West Coast FiresRussia: Siberian heatwaveSouth Sudan: FloodsSouth America: FiresPhilippines: Typhoons Goni and VamcoVietnam: FloodsDon't Forget to Leave Feedback.

Verkhoyansk, located north of the arctic circle, recorded a temperature of 38 °C (100 °F) on 20 June. An analysis showed that, without human-induced climate change, these January-June temperatures would happen less than once in every 80,000 years.In April 2020 Northern Hemisphere sea ice volume was approximately 1,000 km3 below the 2010-2019 average, and October 2020 sea ice volume showed the lowest value in the preceding 10 years because of a second largest summer loss of 15.215 km3.In December, the WMO reported the global mean temperature for January to October 2020 was about 1.2 °C above the 1850–1900 baseline, with 2020 likely to be one of the three warmest years on record despite the normally cooling effect of La Niña. Antarctic ice in 2020 was close to or slightly above the 42-year mean.  The U.N.'s 2020 Emissions Gap Report stated that the highest-earning 1% of the global population account for more than twice the combined greenhouse gas emissions of the lowest-earning 50%. To meet the 1.5 °C goal of the Paris Agreement, the 1 percent would need to reduce their current emissions by at least a factor of 30, while the per capita emissions of the poorest 50 per cent could increase by around three times their current levels.
