But since 2010, the U.S. Gulf Coast has seen a sudden burst of rapid sea level rise, with rates that scientists didn’t expect to see until late this century. At its center lie the wetlands that make up the first line of defense for New Orleans, buffering the levees & barriers behind them. The change has put the city and its nearby coastal communities at greater risk from storms

Generally, voters today appear to have little confidence in either party to respond to global warming, according to the Post-UMD poll.

Le problème tient à la perte de confiance. Dans le monde occidental, une rupture s’est creusée entre les élites et le reste de la population. La France ne fait pas exception, ce que confirment les études sociologiques
Pour susciter l’adhésion, le discours écologique doit être incarné, en premier, par les experts et les décideurs qui le portent

Cet insecte est devenu un véritable fléau en France ces dernières années. Selon certains experts, cette explosion démographique serait due au réchauffement climatique, qui favoriserait leur reproduction. Les punaises pyrrhocores sont particulièrement présentes dans les jardins et les parcs, où elles se nourrissent de graines d'arbres comme le tilleul ou le marronnier

Le phénomène est directement lié au réchauffement climatique.
Avec la hausse des températures, le métabolisme de ces insectes, qui dépend de la température extérieure, augmente aussi
À ce jour, aucune morsure de mouche noire n’a été recensée en France. Le climat est moins favorable à la prolifération de la mouche noire. Mais le pays ne restera pas à l'abri si les températures continuent de monter

The lack of funding has made it difficult for those countries to reduce their high carbon emissions and shift to clean energy, Pangestu added. This has led to tensions between developing nations and the developed world, which are pushing for more progress in climate related issues
“This debate is going to continue unless developed countries can see that this is about development and climate — not just about climate

Among them, China, India, the United States and Canada could expect higher costs as their credit scores fall by two notches under a "climate-adjusted" ratings system, the study published in the Management Science journal on Monday found.
"Our results support the idea that deferring green investments will increase costs of borrowing for nations, which will translate into higher costs of corporate debt,"

we don’t have time for a “good” approach — we need breakthroughs on a tremendous scale and speed
As a clinical psychologist, I diagnose our society as being in a state of mass delusion — the delusion of normalcy. Humans evaluate risk socially, not rationally. We are going through the motions of normal life, acting as if there was a future other than catastrophic breakdown. We are in a collective trance, sleepwalking off a cliff

Le Coccidioïde, hautement pathogène, se cache dans les sols où la température est très chaude
Des chercheurs américains sont de plus en plus inquiets en raison de l'expansion d’un champignon très virulent. À cause des changements climatiques, les cas d’infection au Coccidioïde, aussi appelé « cocci », augmentent aux États-Unis et le champignon pourrait même remonter jusqu’au Canada
