[Slideshow] A look at Earth in 2050 if #ClimateChange isn't stopped

Story by Zeleb.es

"Many scientific reports estimate that temperatures could rise by 3°C in the next thirty years, which would cause sea levels to rise all over the world. To make us aware of the #ClimateEmergency we find ourselves in, scientists at #ClimateCentral have imagined what some iconic places on our planet could look like if we do not act."

from "Mosquito Days" by #ClimateCentral:

"Mosquitoes thrive in warm, humid weather. As our climate warms, many places are becoming more hospitable to mosquitoes—and the health risks they can carry.

"A new Climate Central analysis assessed long-term trends in mosquito days across the contiguous U.S. In this analysis, a mosquito day has both: average relative humidity of 42% or higher; and daily minimum and maximum temperatures between 50–95°F (see Methodology).

"Climate Central tallied mosquito days each year since 1979 for 242 locations across the contiguous U.S. As the U.S. has warmed over the last 43 years, the annual number of mosquito days has increased in many places."

"Between 1970 and 2022, summer temperatures rose by 2.4°F on average across nearly 230 locations — 95% of the locations the group analyzed."

"An analysis from Climate Central, a nonprofit climate science research organization, found that wildfire seasons are getting longer and more intense, especially in the West. Many parts of the East have also seen increases in fire weather days, the report finds."

Despite temperatures being a bit cooler today at the World Cup than Qatar was seeing earlier this month, they were /still/ made twice as likely by human-caused climate change.

The World Cup is warming up.

"If the 2022 World Cup had taken place in June and July as is typical, players, spectators and workers would have experienced 50–70% more hours with Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) above 86°F, and 15–23% more hours with WBGT exceeding 89.6°F than during November and December. "

I'm thrilled to have been a part of this panel discussion on #climatechange in the #TampaBay area. We discuss #publichealth #heat risks, #sealevelrise, and community responses.

As a fun fact, #HurricaneIan was bearing down on us while this was being filmed! I literally drove back to #Orlando that evening through the storm's outer bands.

Hello from Orlando, beneath remnants of #HurricaneNicole!

I'm a climate scientist from #Florida with a love for family, games, #comics and superheroes, good coffee and good books. I study and communicate the risks of human-caused climate change, especially sea level rise and hurricanes. Recently, I helped develop the #ClimateShiftIndex at #ClimateCentral, first daily estimate of human-caused climate influences available in real-time: https://www.climatecentral.org/realtime-fingerprints

Excited to be here :)
