On February 28, 2022, Working Group II released their contribution to the IPCC's 6th Assessment Report on climate change. The report, entitled "Impacts, Adaptation, and Vulnerability" is a comprehensive summary of the how climate change is affecting human society and the ecosystem.

Climate change is normal, sea ice is actually increasing, and there are fewer global fires. Seems like the science doesn't support the doomsday narrative we hear from media outlets... or does it? Whenever you hear something that sounds surprising or seems to contradict another piece of information, it's up to us to dig deeper and find the truth.

Why does a rise of just a few degrees in Earth's global surface temperature have such devastating consequences? To answer that, we need to understand that Earth is a complex system made up of many smaller subsystems that are interacting with each other all the time.

Every year, the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) holds a formal Conference of the Parties (COP), in which representatives from each country gather to discuss how to tackle of climate change. This year is the 26th meeting and climate experts are saying it will be one of our last chances to take action and work together to save our planet.

In 2021, the Nobel Prize in Physics was given to climate scientists for the first time in history! The prize was split among three scientists: Dr. Syukuro Manabe, a pioneer of climate modeling; Dr. Klaus Hasselmann, who created models that linked weather, climate, and human activity; and Dr. Giorgio Parisi, a theoretical physicist best known for solving the spin glass problem.

For many of us, achieving individual net-zero emissions is simply impossible without sweeping energy reform and more efficient technologies. Until then, buying carbon offsets is perhaps the simplest way to reduce your carbon footprint- and for less than the price of a cup of coffee per day!
