The complexities of climate change and its associated jargon can prove difficult to digest. TheCable’s climate facts will help demystify these concepts through easy-to-understand and straight-to-the-point explanations.
Here are some to keep at the tip of your fingers:
- UNEP said this figure, representing about triple the current number, may increase by 800 percent to reach 1.6 billion by mid-century if green house gas (GHG) emissions are not reduced.
- The United Nations (UN) says global-mean sea level has risen rapidly in the last 3,000 years.
- The organisation noted that global-mean sea level is rising and accelerating due to human-induced global warming… driven by the melting of land ice and the expansion of seawater as it warms.
