1. Safety of the outside world and its impact on health I will try to tell you in my
presentation about the negative impact the outside world has on human
health,especialy when we do not properly treat our mother nature.Mother Earth in
our home!Beware of it!

2. “Climate skeptics have argued that global warming projections are unreliable because they
depend on faulty supercomputer models. While these criticisms are unwarranted, they
underscore the need for independent and different approaches to predicting future
warming,” says coauthor Bruno Tremblay, a professor in the department of atmospheric and
oceanic sciences at McGill University.
Until now, wide ranges in overall temperature projections have made it difficult to pinpoint
outcomes in different mitigation scenarios. For instance, if atmospheric CO2 concentrations
are doubled, the General Circulation Models (GCMs) used by the Intergovernmental Panel on
Climate Change (IPCC), predict a very likely global average temperature increase between 1.9
and 4.5 degrees C—a vast range covering moderate climate changes on the lower end, and
catastrophic ones on the other.
“Our new approach to projecting the Earth’s temperature is based on historical climate data,
rather than the theoretical relationships that are imperfectly captured by the GCMs. Our
approach allows climate sensitivity and its uncertainty to be estimated from direct
observations with few assumptions,” says coauthor Raphaël Hébert of the Alfred-Wegener-
Institut in Potsdam, Germany.
Global warming threshold
In the study, the researchers introduce the new Scaling Climate Response Function (SCRF)
model to project the Earth’s temperature until 2100. Grounded in historical data, it reduces
prediction uncertainties by about half, compared to the approach currently used by the IPCC.
In analyzing the results, the researchers found that we’ll likely cross threshold for
dangerous warming (+1.5 C) between 2027 and 2042. This is a much narrower window than
GCMs estimates of between now and 2052. On average, the researchers also found that
expected warming was a little lower, by about 10 to 15%. They also find, however, that the
“very likely warming ranges” of the SCRF were within those of the GCMs, giving the latter
support.

“Now that governments have finally decided to act on climate change, we must avoid
situations where leaders can claim that even the weakest policies can avert dangerous
consequences,” says coauthor Shaun Lovejoy, a professor in the physics department at McGill
University. “With our new climate model and its next generation improvements, there’s less
wiggle room.”
When scientists in the early 2000s developed a set of standardized scenarios to show how
accumulating greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere will affect the climate, they
were trying to create a framework for understanding how human decisions will affect the
trajectory of global warming.
The scenarios help define the possible effects on climate change—how we can limit the
worst impacts by curbing greenhouse gas emissions quickly, or suffer the horrific outcome of
unchecked fossil fuel burning.
The scientists probably didn’t think their work would trigger a sometimes polarized
discussion in their ranks about the language of climate science, but that’s exactly what
happened, and for the last several months, the debate has intensified. Some scientists say
the worst-case, high emissions scenario isn’t likely because it overestimates the amount of
fossil fuels that will be burned in the next few decades.

7. Books on Global Warming
1. This Changes Everything: Capitalism vs. The Climate
Noami Klein’s This Changes Everything: Capitalism vs. The Climate provides you with a
detailed analysis of how we need to change the economic system to stop global warming. The
book also makes a clear argument why massive civil disobedience is the only way forward to
make this change happen – in the short time we still have. It’s one of the most important and
best books on global warming ever written.
2. Six Degrees
Six Degrees is one of the best global warming books for anyone new to the topic. The book
offers you a detailed and graphic guide through the science of global warming, based on
scientific articles, computer models and information about past warm events. In each
chapter, you learn how each additional degree of warming will impact rivers, oceans, forests
and wetlands.
3. Dispatches from the Front Lines of Climate Justice
Wen Stephenson book on global warming tells stories about people taking radical action to
stop climate change. You will read tales about climate-justice organisers, tar-sand blockaders
and occupiers. You will learn what motivates these people and how the climate justice
movement is stepping into the footsteps of the great social-justice struggles of the 19th and
20th centuries.
4. The End of Ice
In this book on global warming, you follow Dhar Jamail’s journey to Alaska, Australia’s Great
Barrier Reef and the Amazon rainforest to understand the consequences of climate change
and the loss of ice on humans and nature.
5. Drawdown: A Plan to Reverse Global Warming
This is one of the best books on global warming that discusses a tangible plan to mitigate
climate change. Get inspired by 100 solutions, ranging from clean energy, innovative land use
practices, educating girls or taking CO2 out of the air.
Poems on Global Warming
8. Powered by
As 2019 comes to a close, here’s a new list of climate poems to read. Some will light a fire in
your activist belly, while others offer cathartic release. All of them offer an opportunity to
reflect on the crisis at hand and consider what it means for ourselves and each other.
1)“How to Let Go of the World” by Franny Choi
The author of two poetry collections, Franny Choi wrote this segmented prose poem for the
PEN Poetry Series. It simultaneously captures feelings of helplessness and fierce love. It’s a
must-read for anyone in need of interrogating personal feelings on the climate crisis.
2)“Particulate Matter” by Molly Fisk
Fisk, who was recently named an Academy of American Poets Laureate Fellow, currently
serves as the poet laureate of Nevada County, California. In 2018 her home state was
ravaged by the historical Camp Fire, which destroyed homes and lives. In this poem,
published on poets.org, she captures the devastating aftermath of that fire.
3)“Letter to Noah’s Wife” by Maya C. Popa
In this searching poem, Popa asks the wife of Noah: “Was it you
who gathered flowers once the earth had dried?” The poem, published on poets.org,
expresses in beautiful and haunting imagery feelings of helplessness and uncertainty.
