Why #climate researchers are taking the temperature of mountain #snow
As climate change fuels increasingly erratic #weather, #scientists need a better read on #snowpack temperature to understand when water will reach reservoirs—and when it threatens to flood them. technologyreview.com/2025/05/1

MIT Technology Review · Why climate researchers are taking the temperature of mountain snowBy James Temple

You and I already know this, of course. But by sharing it widely, perhaps we can start convincing others of the urgent need for system change.

A few excerpts from the article...
_______________________________

In a new analysis, the world’s wealthiest 10% are reported to have caused two-thirds of observed global warming since 1990.

Researchers also noted that emissions from the richest 10% in major economies, such as the United States and China, caused a two to threefold increase in dangerous heat conditions across vulnerable tropical areas.

These hotspots include Southeast Asia, southern Africa, and other regions with limited resources to handle amplified environmental stress.

Take a look at the graphic below.

Although it's from a different study, this clearly illustrates the gross disparity between responsibility for dangerous global heating – borne by the richest 10% – and the pitiful lack of resources held by the bottom 50%, crippling their ability to deal with the terrible losses they face.
