Cold waves show that the planet is not warming
This myth is due in part to the confusion that exists between meteorology, which refers to what happens in the atmosphere in the short term, and climatology.#RSE6#UNAM#Prepa2
Stopping climate change will worsen our quality of life
This statement does not make much sense if we take into account that climate change is already having negative consequences on our lives and that, if we do not stop it, they will get worse. #RSE6#UNAM#Prepa2
Currently the World Health Organization coordinates a global research agenda to find scientific evidence of the damage caused by climate change. For example, the ability of some fungi (Candida auris). #Prepa2#RSE6#UNAM
Fighting climate change can wait
It is legitimate to doubt about the order of urgency of the great problems that concern us as a species, but the truth is that the climate emergency cannot wait, since we are already suffering its effects.#RSE6#UNAM#Prepa2
Overpopulation is the biggest problem
This statement must be qualified. It is true that there are many of us and this has an obvious environmental impact, but it also happens that around 10% of humanity (the richest people) emits about 50% of greenhouse gas. #RSE6#UNAM#Prepa2
This is a false dichotomy that is in line with the above. The planet is, for the moment, our only home, and there will be no possible economy if we do not take care of it. The problem is that the current economic system works on the false premise. #RSE6#Prepa2#UNAM
The falling cost of renewable energy
There's a good reason so many countries now say they plan to have net zero emissions: The falling cost of renewables is completely changing the calculus of decarbonization.#Prepa2#RSE6#UNAM
The crucial climate conference
In November 2021, world leaders will meet in Glasgow, Scotland, to work on the successor to the landmark 2015 Paris Agreement.
Paris was important because it was the first time that virtually every nation in the world came together. #RSE6#UNAM
Decreased snow cover
Data on climate change from satellite observations reveal that the amount of snow cover in spring in the Northern Hemisphere has decreased over the past five decades and that snow is melting sooner. #Prepa2#RSE6#UNAM
More and more, we can see how climate change is present in our day to day. The radical change in temperatures, the lengthening of the seasons, extreme meteorological phenomena ... Human beings are the cause and the solution to this problem. #Prepa2#RSE6#UNAM
