Sulfate aerosols are injected into the atmosphere from the combustion of fossil fuels and the eruption of volcanoes like Mt. Pinatubo. Recent theory suggests that sulfate aerosols may lower the Earth's temperature by reflecting away solar radiation (negative radiative forcing) because they...

May 2024 is warmest May on record. Now according to Copernicus the 365-day Global Temperature Deviation is 1.63°C. One month ago it was 1.61°C. Wish to point out that according to Berkeley Earth such a value was 1.65°C one month ago.

Ocean Acidity increased with respect to the preindustrial period. As a consequence the pH lowered from 8.2 to 8.1 over the preindustrial era as a result of an increase in atmospheric CO2 concentrations. As above said this corresponds to an increase in oceanic acidity of about 30%.

The lowering of pH caused by the Ocean Acidification issue impairs the senses of reef fishes and reduces their survival, and might similarly impact commercially targeted fishes that produce most of the seafood eaten by humans. Although adaptation, parental effects, and evolution can mitigate...

Wish to point out that the Ocean Acidification issue DOES NOT cause coral bleaching, as sometimes we read, but instead causes the dissolution of the calcium structure that makes up the coral because of the consumption of carbonate ions (CO3__) as above said. Coral bleaching is provoked from...

Shellfish and corals rely on carbonate ions in the water to build their skeletons and shells. Higher levels of CO2 in the water column causes less carbonate ions in the ocean because of the Ocean Acidification issue, and as a result, shellfish and corals have thinner shells, slower growth rates...

In the 200-plus years since the industrial revolution began, the concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere has increased due to human actions. During this time, the pH of surface ocean waters has fallen by 0.1 pH units. This might not sound like much, but the pH scale is...

In this pic the Chemical formula representing the Ocean Acidification issue is represented. As it can be seen when CO2 interacts with water H2O calcium carbonate ions CO3 are absorbed and an acid 2HCO3 is produced, which makes the ocean acidity increase.

As I said in a previous post Aereosols increase the ALBEDO (reflectivity) of clouds and help to reduce the Energy Imbalance produced by the GHE. So it's true that the slashing of pollution (Aereosols) contribute to raise the Temperature of the Oceans. In fact the ESA EarthCARE Satellite has...

I applied to attend the 3-days training course of the Climate Reality Project which will take place in Rome (Italy) at the end of June, and my application has been accepted. Former Vice President and Nobel Laureate Al Gore will intervene at the training course in Rome.

https://www.accuweather.com/en/weather-forecasts/mexicos-severe-heat-drought-have-eyes-for-us/1654651 A tremendous dome of heat and drought has been affecting a large part of Mexico from the winter through the spring, and AccuWeather meteorologists warn that some of that will build northward...

As it can be seen in the reported graph the 2024 Global Sea Surface Temperature (SST) (Red line) is always above the 2023 Global Sea Surface temperature (Yellow line). Not Good!

The ESA EarthCARE Satellite has spread its solar wing, and is generating power. The EarthCARE Satellite has started his Mission! GO BIG EarthCARE!

The heatwave that hit India is continuing and Temperatures are increasing in India. Delhi temperature hits 52.9°C, shattering India's national record.

Agree with you also because I saw in the article above that in China there is a Clean Energy boom.
