Scientists Warn 2023 Continues to Break Temperature Records
Scientists Warn 2023 , Continues to Break , Temperature Records.
'Time' reports that October was officially the
hottest on record, coming in 3.1 degrees Fahrenheit
warmer than the month's pre-industrial average.
.
It is the fifth consecutive month to
break records, meaning 2023 is on track
to be the warmest year ever recorded.
.
The amount that we’re
smashing records by is shocking, Samantha Burgess, Deputy director of the
Copernicus Climate Change Service, via 'Time'.
Peter Schlosser, vice president and vice provost of the Global
Futures Laboratory at Arizona State University, warns that
increased temperature means more extreme weather events.
.
This is a clear sign that we are going
into a climate regime that will have
more impact on more people.
, Peter Schlosser, Vice president and vice provost of the Global
Futures Laboratory at Arizona State University, via 'Time'.
We better take this warning
that we actually should have
taken 50 years ago or more
and draw the right conclusions, Peter Schlosser, Vice president and vice provost of the Global
Futures Laboratory at Arizona State University, via 'Time'.
Samantha Burgess, deputy director of the Copernicus
Climate Change Service, says the current El Nino will
continue to drive warming over the coming months.
Schlosser warns that the world should expect to see
more records broken, adding that the planet has already
exceeded the 2.7 degrees cap set in the Paris agreement.
.
Burgess and other experts say that
the world's need to stop planet-warming
emissions has become urgent.
It's so much more expensive to
keep burning these fossil fuels
than it would be to stop doing it.
That’s basically what it shows, Friederike Otto, Climate scientist
at Imperial College London, via 'Time'.
And of course, you don’t see that when you just look at the records being broken and not at the people and systems that are suffering, but that — that is what matters, Friederike Otto, Climate scientist
at Imperial College London, via 'Time'
UN Issues 'Red Alert' , Regarding Global Warming , After Record Heat in 2023.
Al Jazeera reports that the United Nations' weather
agency has sounded a "red alert" regarding global
warming, citing a number of different factors.
Those factors include record-breaking levels of
greenhouse gas emissions in 2023, as well as
record-high temperatures on both land and sea.

The U.N.'s World Meteorological Organization (WMO) warns there is a "high probability" that 2024 will continue to break high-temperature records. .
The same March 19 report warned
that the world's efforts to reverse
global warming have proven to be inadequate.
Never have we been so close –
albeit on a temporary basis at
the moment – to the 1.5C lower
limit of the Paris Agreement
on climate change. , Celeste Saulo, World Meteorological Organization

The latest State of the Global
Climate report shows a planet
on the brink. Fossil fuel pollution is
sending climate chaos off the charts, Antonio Guterres, U.N. Secretary-General, via Al Jazeera.
Al Jazeera reports that the news comes as experts
and government representatives are set to meet in
Copenhagen to push for greater global climate actions. .

Two Telangana students, Nivesh Mukka and Goutham Kumar Parsi, aged 19, tragically perished in a road accident in Arizona, USA. Both studying computer science engineering at Arizona State University, they were returning home when their vehicle collided head-on with another car. The families urge Indian government assistance to repatriate their bodies. The incident underscores safety concerns for Indian students abroad.

New 'Long COVID' Study , Could Lead to Future , Treatment Options.
BBC reports that people experiencing "long COVID"
have evidence of inflammation in their blood, which could
lead to further understanding and potential treatments.
A new study in the United Kingdom found the
presence of certain proteins increases the risk
for certain symptoms, including fatigue.
Long COVID is believed to impact
millions of people around the world.
Here are some of the most common symptoms.
Shortness of breath, Extreme tiredness, Brain fog.
Other symptoms of Long COVID can include
sleeping problems, loss of smell and anxiety.
The latest study by the Imperial College
London suggests that inflammation , "could be a common feature of long COVID after
hospitalization, regardless of symptom type.".
BBC reports that the findings suggest that existing drugs
used to treat other forms of inflammation, like
rheumatoid arthritis, could be effective against Long COVID.
This work provides strong evidence
that long Covid is caused by post-viral
inflammation but shows layers of complexity, Peter Openshaw, Lead research Professor, via BBC .
We hope that our work opens the way
to the development of specific tests
and treatments for the various types
of long Covid and believe that a
'one size fits all' approach to
treatment may not work, Peter Openshaw, Lead research Professor, via BBC .
The team's findings were published
in the journal 'Nature Immunology.'

Cost of Easter Eggs Rises , As Climate Change Affects Crops.
Most of the cocoa that is used to make chocolate
is grown in West Africa where a heat wave has damaged crops and cut yields, BBC reports.
This has caused the cost of some
Easter eggs to increase by 50% or more.
According to the World Weather Attribution group, the high temperatures in West Africa "were made 10 times more likely" by human-induced climate change.
According to the World Weather Attribution group, the high temperatures in West Africa "were made 10 times more likely" by human-induced climate change.
The group's study determined that West Africa will experience severe heat waves close to every two years if action is not taken. .
El Niño was also found to have played a role, although "global warming is exacerbating those changes," BBC reports. .
Increasingly, climate change driven
by fossil fuel use is multiplying this natural
challenge in many regions. It fuels more
extreme conditions, devastates harvests,
and makes food costs higher for all. , Ben Clarke, an expert on extreme weather at the
Grantham Institute at Imperial College, via BBC.
Intense rains have also plagued West Africa,
leading to a fungal infection that rots cocoa beans. .

Lots of players who have already
announced price increases.
We are also part of that group, Martin Hug, of chocolate maker Lindt & Spruengli, via BBC
