Uncommon Facts about Climate Change

Climate Change is well known around the world, but some of its facts are lesser-known. Here are some of them:


1. According to the alarming climate models made by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, most of the planet’s ice cover would melt by the end of the century and trigger a cascade of irreversible consequences, including flooding strong enough to engulf entire cities. Imagine that!

2. The study of changes in climate throughout Earth’s history is called Paleoclimatology. Paleoclimatology shows evidence to determine that current warming is occurring about 10 times faster than the post-ice age warming.


3. Climate change, all over the world, is causing the loss of billions of dollars due to extreme weather events.


4. There has been an increase in the number of people exposed to heatwaves by approx. 125 million since 2000.
