Mitigation and Adaptation | Solutions – Climate Change: Vital …
2024年1月30日 · Responding to climate change involves two possible approaches: reducing and stabilizing the levels of heat-trapping greenhouse gases in the atmosphere (“mitigation”) and adapting to the climate change already in the pipeline (“adaptation”).
NASA Drought Research Shows Value of Both Climate Mitigation …
2021年9月28日 · Switching to cleaner energy sources and reducing greenhouse warming-driven ice melt are examples of mitigation to sea level rise. Rather than representing competing options, adaptation and mitigation can both be used to address climate impacts. This new research shows how the two can complement each other when it comes to drought.
What Is Climate Change? | Facts - Climate Change: Vital Signs of …
Climate change is a long-term change in the average weather patterns that have come to define Earth’s local, regional and global climates. These changes have a broad range of observed effects that are synonymous with the term.

2021年5月24日 · NASA will design a new set of Earth-focused missions to provide key information to guide efforts related to climate change, disaster mitigation, fighting forest fires, and improving real-time agricultural processes.
Effects | Facts – Climate Change: Vital Signs of the Planet
"The magnitude and rate of climate change and associated risks depend strongly on near-term mitigation and adaptation actions, and projected adverse impacts and related losses and damages escalate with every increment of global warming."
Just 5 questions: Hacking the planet - Climate Change: Vital Signs …
2014年4月14日 · It’s different from “mitigation” efforts, where people try to reduce emissions of [heat-trapping] greenhouse gases, or preserve natural carbon-dioxide storage or removal mechanisms like forests. It’s also distinct from “adaptation,” which involves dealing with the impacts of climate change.

Climate change and the rise and fall of civilizations
2014年1月20日 · • Climate change (drought in particular) has been at least partly responsible for the rise and fall of many ancient civilizations. • Our way of life depends on a stable climate. Faced with a changing climate, we must learn the lessons of past collapsed civilizations and adapt.
Climate Change Can Put More Insects at Risk for Extinction
2022年11月10日 · New NASA research models are shedding light on how insect populations may respond to severe changes in temperature that are likely climate change. In a study recently published in Nature Climate Change, scientists found that 65% of the insect populations they examined could go extinct over the next century.
