Climate Change

The recent strengthening of Hurricane Melissa due to climate change underscores the increasing severity of extreme weather events, which are becoming more frequent and intense as global temperatures rise. This is compounded by the instability of major carbon sinks, such as those in the Arctic, which are crucial for mitigating climate change but are now threatened by warming temperatures. Additionally, the global governance and policy response remains inadequate, as highlighted by the stalled climate finance efforts and ongoing emissions. These factors collectively exacerbate the risk of feedback loops that could lead to irreversible climate impacts, such as ecosystem collapse and severe socio-economic disruptions.
