Sea Level Rise Effect on Mumbai of 1.5m rise

Mumbai, land at risk from 1.5m sea rise

• We are looking more and more unlikely to prevent global heating.

• Scientists are predicting the melting of the ice covering Greenland with a subsequent sea level rise of 7m.

• This rise does not factor in sea rise from the melting of Antarctica and other ice.

• Already many properties are likely to flood when a high tide is combined with high local rainfall.

What were a hundred year rainfall events are now ten year events.

Mumbai, land at risk with 1.0m sea rise

• The frequency of high rainfall events will increase with global heating and more and more severe hurricanes are predicted because of warmer seas.

• Low coastal areas will be subjected to severe storm surges.

• Would you buy a property likely to be inundated in twenty years, fifty years, a hundred years? Many wouldn't. Even the perception of possible inundation will greatly affect property values. Some properties will become more expensive to insure or become impossible to insure

• When certain properties are in less demand their value falls.

• Would you buy a property with a value that is likely to fall?

• The view of Mumbai above shows areas likely to be inundated by a 1.5m and a 1.0m sea level rise.

• Property above a 10m rise will become highly sought after and will greatly increase in value.

Melting arctic ice fuels climate change and extreme weather events | DW News

Global climate change is perhaps most clearly visible at the cold top and bottom of the globe.

The arctic has been warming up for years - and now, the warnings of experts and scientists are clear for everyone to see - the poles are melting. As the differences in temperature between the poles and the equator reduce, the jetstream winds, which move weather around the globe - are slowing down. The result - extreme weather. High- and low pressure systems remain at the same spot for longer, creating floods and droughts.

NZ rated 'insufficient' on climate action, again (excerpt): Stuff

methane is a worse greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide

New Zealand abandoned policies that would have made a difference,

like electrifying the Government fleet, notes the report.

"New Zealand won’t be carbon neutral by 2050 without much stronger policies, says an independent analysis by Climate Action Tracker.

The non-profit highlighted a lack of active policies for cutting methane, spurring electric vehicles and boosting renewable energy.

Despite capping emissions, reforming the Emissions Trading

methane

Scheme, and passing the Zero Carbon Act, the Government is well off track for meeting a climate goal of curbing heating below 2 degrees Celsius, let alone 1.5C (the goal of the Zero Carbon Act), the analysis says.

Our target under the Paris Agreement is rated “insufficient” – the same as last year. Climate Action Tracker says if all countries followed our example, the world would reach 3C hotter than pre-industrial levels.

New Zealand joins Australia, the European Union, Mexico and others in the insufficient group. India and the Philippines are among the small group rated compliant with a 2C goal or better.

On the positive side, a combination of new Government policies and lockdown brought New Zealand’s expected emissions in 2030 down 8-17 per cent from where they were headed last year, and the 2020 projections down 14-23 per cent."

Climate Action Tracker: Paris Agreement Compatible Sectoral Benchmarks, August 2020

Decarbonisation is needed

"Executive summary

While national emission trends are a useful tool for measuring government progress towards meeting the Paris Agreement 1.5 ̊C temperature limit at a global level, each government will have to address its own sectors, each with their own, different baseline.

What should government sectoral benchmarks be? Will they meet the global carbon budget?

The Climate Action Tracker has defined and analysed a global-level series of Paris Agreement-compatible benchmarks, across four major sectors: Power, Transport, Industry, and Buildings.

Within each sector, we define benchmarks for several separate but complementary indicators.

We have also drilled down to present the benchmarks in these sectors for seven individual countries: Brazil, China, EU, India, Indonesia, South Africa, and the US, taking into account the current technical and infrastructure circumstances in each country.

We have developed the benchmarks for both 2030 and 2050, with additional temporal resolution depending on the approach and indicator. The data from this work has been added to the Climate Action Tracker interactive data portal https://climateactiontracker.org/data-portal.

We have identified the following key lessons:

Decarbonisation by 2050: the Paris Agreement requires the world to decarbonise by2050: on average, all sectors need to decarbonise in this time frame, albeit at slightly different rates.

In this report, we have identified the potential for such rapid
decarbonisation across all sectors.

Differences shrink: in terms of timing, benchmarks differ between countries and sectors,because they all start from a different base. But ultimately, governments must pursue all options in all sectors, and sometimes this will require support between countries."

....................

"Progress by 2030 is important: decarbonisation by 2050 alone is not sufficient; to keep carbon budgets within reach, progress must ramp up well before 2030.

Decarbonisation

Power sector is relatively advanced: the power sector is already making quite some progress in decarbonising, and it should continue to be a government priority, especially in avoiding new infrastructure incompatible with the Paris Agreement, such as coal-fired power plants.

Industry, transport, buildings need to advance significantly: these sectors are not yet moving as quickly as is necessary, and efforts to meet 2030 benchmarks must significantly ramp up.

In many countries, much of the building stock that will exist in 2050 is yet to be built

All new buildings from now on in all countries need to be of a high standard and equipped with heating and cooling technologies that either are or can be zero emissions.
