The East Antarctic Ice Sheet contains the vast majority of Earth’s glacier ice (about 52 metres sea-level equivalent), but is often viewed as less vulnerable to global warming than the West Antarctic or Greenland ice sheets. However, some regions of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet have lost mass over recent decades, prompting the need to re-evaluate its sensitivity to climate change.

Here we review the response of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet to past warm periods, synthesize current observations of change and evaluate future projections.

The U.S. Transportation Department said on Thursday it would award $6.4 billion over 5 years to states to fund projects to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

The funding, part of a $1 trillion infrastructure bill approved by Congress in November, will help states fund trail facilities for pedestrians and bicyclists and projects that support the deployment of alternative fuel vehicles.

“Transportation is the sector that contributes the most carbon emissions in the U.S.

If the internet were a country, it would be the seventh largest polluter in the world, by some estimates. While greenhouse gas emissions temporarily dipped during the pandemic, the resulting crisis also accelerated the world’s dependence on online activities, exacerbating digital pollution.
Taking action to turn digital ‘green’

Here are six ways businesses can become more digitally sustainable over time.

Assess the impact of your digital infrastructure

Begin by measuring your website’s carbon footprint by using tools such as the Website Carbon Calculator.

One crucial indicator of the level of urgency for taking climate action is the social cost of carbon dioxide (SCCO2), which represents the total welfare lost across the globe due to an extra emitted tonne of CO2, usually expressed in US dollars per tonne of CO2.

The SCCO2 has been calculated under a range of climatic and socioeconomic assumptions (Havranek et al 2015, Howard and Sterner 2017, Tol 2018), giving a wide range of best estimates.

The U.K. should eliminate almost all greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 by rapidly adopting policies that will change everything from the way people heat their homes to what they eat, an independent committee that advises the British government on climate change recommended Thursday. A report from the Committee on Climate Change said the government must adopt ambitious goals if it wants to be a leader in the fight against global warming and limit the impact of climate change.

1. US oil production exceeded expectations.

A year ago, the Energy Information Administration estimated that US crude production would increase in 2018, below 600,000 barrels. This proved to be an inadequate statement: the actual increase was about 1.6 million v / g. This is a bit ahead of the previous summit in 1970, and also a bit ahead of Russia, the second largest producer in the world, which reported that October produced a record record of approximately 11.4 million v / g.
