COP26
Glasgow Climate Pact
In recent years, man-made global warming, changes in ocean currents, and changes in air pressure are considered to be the causes of extreme weather.
A RCP is a greenhouse gas concentration (not emissions) trajectory adopted by the IPCC.
CO2(ppm) | RF(W/m^2) | |
---|---|---|
RCP2.6 | 490 | 2.6 |
RCP4.5 | 650 | 4.5 |
RCP6.0 | 850 | 6.0 |
RCP8.5 | 1370 | 8.5 |
High pressure in the upper atmosphere traps heat near the ground, forming a heat wave.
Cause
Details
Conjecture has it that more cold extremes over the mid-latitude continents should occur due to global warming and the impacts of Arctic sea ice loss. A Northern Hemisphere temperature signal termed the "Warm Arctic, Cold Continent" pattern has thus been surmised.
An adaptation pathway is a decision-making strategy that is made up of a sequence of manageable steps or decision-points over time. Characteristics of the strategy are: Each decision-point is triggered by some change (environmental or social)
Urban Resilience
Urban resilience is the capacity of a city’s systems, businesses, institutions, communities, and individuals to survive, adapt, and grow, no matter what chronic stresses and acute shocks they experience.
Engineering Method -> Adaption
There may be more than one correct answer.
Question:
Choose the imcorrect statements:
(A)TaiCCAT consists of six-step process.
(B)The hot/heat wave forms in low pressure environment.
(C)A RCP is a greenhouse gas concentration (equals to CO2 emissions).
(D)"Warm Arctic, Cold Continents” trend pattern is due to sea ice loss.
(E)In adaption pathway, each decision-point is triggered by some change (environmental or social).
Ans: (B)(C)
