People in tropics could see changes in weather extremes in 20 years: Study

People in the tropics and subtropics that makes up about three-fourth of the world's population, could experience strong, rapid changes in both extreme temperatures and rainfall over the next 20 years, unless greenhouse gas emissions -- the primary driver of climate change -- are reduced dramatically, a new study has found. On the other hand, if emissions are lowered enough to meet the goals outlined in the Paris Agreement, then 20 per cent of the world's population, or around 1.5 billion people, could face risks related to extreme weather, researchers, led by those at the CICERO Center for International Climate Research, Norway, found. The Paris Agreement aims to limit the rise in global average temperature to 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. "The regions of clear rapid change in extreme precipitation relative to pre-industrial trends tend to include the mid to high northern latitudes, low-latitude (tropical) Asian countries and equatorial African countries," the ..

Climate change-fuelled weather events cost $41 bn globally since COP28

As millions of people in India grapple with blistering heat intensified by climate change, a new report on Monday said extreme weather events have caused over USD 41 billion in damages globally since the international climate talks in Dubai (COP28) in December last year. The report by the UK-based NGO Christian Aid said that four extreme weather events in the past six months -- all scientifically shown to have been made more likely and/or more intense by climate change -- killed over 2,500 people. The non-profit organisation said that insufficient progress has been made since COP28 in the UAE to move away from fossil fuels or to support lower-income countries in coping with climate disasters. As the second week of mid-year climate talks in Bonn began on Monday, it said these numbers demonstrate that the costs of the climate crisis are already being felt.
