A new study uses satellites to predict what California’s famous coastline could look like by 2100 California is known for golden sands and endless waves, but much of the state’s famous shoreline could vanish in the future. That’s according to a new study, which found that between 25% and 70% of California beaches might be washed away by the end of the century, leaving only cliffs or coastal infrastructure in their wake. The study used satellite data collected over the past two decades to examine California’s 1,100-mile-long coast. Researchers from the US Geological Survey (USGS) used those satellite images, combined with models of climate crisis-driven sea level rise ranging from 1.6 to 10ft, to estimate the shape and position of the state’s coastline by 2100. The amount of sea level rise...

Wind and rain bring island to a standstill but eye replacement cycle fortuitously weakens it temporarily Earlier this week, Typhoon Mawar whipped up a storm in western Micronesia as the category 4 storm came close to landfall on the island of Guam. Starting out as a tropical depression over the weekend, Mawar rapidly deepened and intensified over the following couple of days, almost reaching category 5 by Tuesday evening. Wind gusts peaked at 155mph (250km/h), briefly making Mawar a super typhoon about 100 miles south-east of the US island territory. In a stroke of luck an eyewall replacement cycle occurred overnight, hours before the then super typhoon was due to reach Guam. The cycle involves the slight degradation of the storm’s structure as a new eye develops around the old eye. Consequentially...

4 Shifts Needed to Create a Carbon-free Power System alicia.cypress… Thu, 05/25/2023 - 14:25 Avoiding the worst impacts of climate change will require a drastic shift in the global power system as the world moves from fossil fuels to carbon-free electricity. While the technologies and investments that can get us there are now available, it will be necessary to dramatically speed up efforts and do so more equitably to create a decarbonized energy system. Fossil fuels still dominate electricity production: 76% of electricity is from polluting fossil gas, coal, and other fossil fuels. These sources generate 23% of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions , and in 2022, the power sector’s emissions continued to grow by 1.8% .

The Global Warming Planet site indexes content from 200 sources worldwide. These newspapers and journals represent most regions of the world, and range from high quality news reporting to well respected science journals and organizations.
We encourage you to visit the source articles, and support the journalism that we all rely on to keep informed about these important issues of our time.
Climate Change is a wide ranging topic, and encompasses many disciplines. It affects everyone on the planet in both similar and unique ways. Our goal at Global Warming Planet is to gather current news, by the hour, from diverse regions of the world. People are talking about global warming and how it affects them in their daily lives. You'll find important journalism here on topics such as global temperatures, extreme weather, sea level rise, flooding, fires, health impacts, droughts, glaciation, polar regions and species extinction. Underlying all of these issues is the science being done by dedicated researchers worldwide. We also gather the political, legal and social justice issues that impact us nationally and regionally. This wouldn't be complete without the solutions, so we strive to provide current information on the transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy. Renewables are on a steady rise worldwide, and include exciting topics such as solar photovoltaics, wind generation both onshore and offshore, biofuels, wave action, and battery storage. Last but not least are the things we can do as individuals. To highlight a few, consider electric cars, transportation, food production, and energy efficiency and conservation of energy in our personal lives.
