Megadroughts are droughts which last for 30 years in time instead of the typical drought which is 10 years. ]]> 2021-02-09 10:08:35 UTC https://padlet.com/janclausdiblasio1/laopy4zs107wa1km/wish/1181295164 Arctic emiliacaprazli https://padlet.com/janclausdiblasio1/laopy4zs107wa1km/wish/1184147822 As temperatures continue to rise globally, (we are already at 1.02 degrees Celsius warmer than the 1951-1980 baseline), the arctic tundras will start to be taken over by forests. This means that habitats will be damaged, biodiversity will be lost and species that need this environment will have less space to live on, and competition will increase. ]]> 2021-02-09 19:11:16 UTC https://padlet.com/janclausdiblasio1/laopy4zs107wa1km/wish/1184147822 Amazon Rainforest, Codajás - State of Amazonas, Brazil SerenaMoscarella https://padlet.com/janclausdiblasio1/laopy4zs107wa1km/wish/1184667571 Amazon rainforest: I chose an image of people, insects, and other fauna and species as I am concerned about the loss of biodiversity in the rainforest due to the fact that "Temperatures Will Continue to Rise" (NASA). This is worrying because it may increase or decrease the length of climatological spring (or any season) and in the Amazon this may over shoot the carrying capacity of its ecosystems.]]> 2021-02-09 20:59:53 UTC https://padlet.com/janclausdiblasio1/laopy4zs107wa1km/wish/1184667571 Russia https://padlet.com/janclausdiblasio1/laopy4zs107wa1km/wish/1184827091 In places that traditionally maintain frost until well into spring, with global warming this may change. When compared with March and April 1st of the 1950-51 season, frost free mornings have crept gradually further north into colder regions. This means longer growing seasons, warmer weather, and changes to the local ecosystems and life patterns. ]]> 2021-02-09 21:46:17 UTC https://padlet.com/janclausdiblasio1/laopy4zs107wa1km/wish/1184827091 Bangladesh https://padlet.com/janclausdiblasio1/laopy4zs107wa1km/wish/1185735717 2021-02-10 05:56:14 UTC https://padlet.com/janclausdiblasio1/laopy4zs107wa1km/wish/1185735717 Bangladesh 21altedo1 https://padlet.com/janclausdiblasio1/laopy4zs107wa1km/wish/1185776873 Monsoon floods are affecting nearly one-third of the Bengali population, thousands of which have fallen victim of water-born diseases. Bangladesh also hosts about a million Rohingya refugees. Part of the flooding in Bangladesh is caused by its many rivers of which sea level is prone to rise. SERVIR satellites are to help assess the situation better.

Since 2011 due to climate change, Somalia has had only one rainy season. The main causes of the droughts are instability, conflict, and climate change. The drought (together with conflict) is also one of the causes of famine. Since as the NASA report says, heatwaves and temperature will continue to rise during the summers, this might become an even bigger problem. Before, really intense heat days would occur every 20 years minimum, now they might occur every 2 years.]]> 2021-02-12 09:43:59 UTC https://padlet.com/janclausdiblasio1/laopy4zs107wa1km/wish/1195752448 Morocco https://padlet.com/janclausdiblasio1/laopy4zs107wa1km/wish/1195764040 the predominant climate concern in Morocco is the impact on limited and declining water resources. Due to the increase in population growth, water demand is expected to increase. Water resources are expected to decline due to increased drought conditions. Moroccos climate is as vaired as its topography (the atlas mountains in the center, plateus in the east, Rif mountains in the north and desert in the south). With temp. rising, thsi reduces stream flows and water availability overall. Increase frequency of intense rainfall events lead to reduced surface water quality due to concentrations of pollutants.]]> 2021-02-12 09:48:30 UTC https://padlet.com/janclausdiblasio1/laopy4zs107wa1km/wish/1195764040 New Orleans, LA, USA https://padlet.com/janclausdiblasio1/laopy4zs107wa1km/wish/1196377624 I chose an image of a hurricane because the intensity, frequency and duration of North Atlantic hurricanes, as well as the frequency of the strongest hurricanes, have all increased. Contributions of human and natural causes to these increases are still uncertain.

Earth is becoming effected in climate terms everywhere, but in every country it's different because of the circumstances. The population, the size, the law, etc. Sarajevo is a small city in a small country that was once part of Yugoslavia. It is surrounded by mountains, fresh air, and yearly, during cold weather, there is a lot of smog coming from mountains, but about four years ago there was a terrifying smog that was not naturally caused. I personally go every year, multiple times, through different seasons and I have noticed a huge difference between last summer and this summer. Last summer, it was extremely hot and this summer, there were very few sunny days. Last winter it was freezing come, to the point where I cried and this christmas, a simple jacket was enough and it barely snowed. One year, there war a meter of snow, where the whole city was blocked to exit their locations. ]]> 2021-02-12 13:40:54 UTC https://padlet.com/janclausdiblasio1/laopy4zs107wa1km/wish/1196380833 Papua New Guinea 21ouiben https://padlet.com/janclausdiblasio1/laopy4zs107wa1km/wish/1196434064
Increasing temperatures in relations with diminishing fresh water sources and consistent droughts, affect the agricultural processes at the cornerstone of the Papua New Guinean economy and the population's livelihood. By 2030, the country's temperature will have increased by up to 1.1° Celsius (33.98° Fahrenheit) per year.

Average winter temperatures in Hokkaido have increased by 1.3ºC over the last century, and the number of days with cold temperatures have decreased along  with frost frequency and the amount of snowfall. The frequency and intensity of extreme weather events, such as heavy rain, has increased, as well as the number of days with no rain. Temperature is expected to increase 2-3ºC over the next 100 years for all of Japan. This means that there is/will be an increase in heatwave intensity and heat stress, putting vulnerable populations, such as the elderly, at risk. There is also an increase in likelihood of infectious and vector and waterborne diseases, allergies and allergy-related diseases, cost of living and protection from more extreme weather events, and demand for water supply (1.2-3.2%).]]> 2021-02-13 09:38:48 UTC https://padlet.com/janclausdiblasio1/laopy4zs107wa1km/wish/1199001755 Philippines aurorabelardi https://padlet.com/janclausdiblasio1/laopy4zs107wa1km/wish/1201216288 Hurricanes form when warm moist air over water begins to rise, which them gets replaced by cooler air and it begins to grow into larger clouds until it will start rotating due to the Coriolis effect.
