Photo by @edkashi @viiphoto Workers load recently cut sugarcane onto a truck near the town of Viejo in Chinandega, Nicaragua on Jan. 6, 2015. Climate change is making the lives of sugarcane workers in Central America more perilous as temperatures rise and droughts increase. Over 20,000 men and women who worked in the cane fields have died from Chronic Kidney Disease of unknown origin (CKDu) in the past 10 years alone. Dehydration and severe heat exposure are believed to be the leading causes of CKDu, so the changing climate has the potential to make any already-bad situation worse. This is a perfect example of how the world’s most vulnerable people are also the most exposed to the effects of climate change. #climatchange #everydayclimatechange #climatechangeisreal #climate #globalwarming National Geographic(@natgeo)張貼的相片 於 2016 年 5月 月 22 10:43上午 PDT 張貼
Photo by @BrianSkerry. A curious Whitecoat Harp Seal pup playfully rolls over in Canada’s Gulf of St. Lawrence. No more than 12 days old, the pup will soon embark on his first swim in the frigid waters of the Arctic. Harp seals are very social, and noisy, animals, often forming large colonies on the frozen tundra of Canada, while spending the majority of their time beneath the surface. Though these seals are hunted commercially for their fur, the loss of sea ice due to climate change is having an even more dramatic impact on this species.

Photo by James Whitlow Delano @jameswhitlowdelano for @everydayclimatechange Looking out, through the smog, across the Forbidden City from Jingshan. The Air Quality Index (AQI) for this day for PM 2.5 for particulate matter was 188. AQI's have exceeded 500 recently, and the government issued firor the second time in history a smog red alert this week, for climate change-inducing greenhouse gases. Last year the central government gave a directive to Hebei Province, which wraps around Beijing like a collar, to close selected factories that employ coal-fired blast furnaces and to consolidate steel operations in an effort to improve air quality in the capital city area. Apparently, the desired effect is still aspirational. A 2013 Bloomberg article said that people in northern China may die five years earlier the expect because of diseases caused by air pollution because of the use of coal for winter heating of homes. #climatechange #globalwarming #china #coal #smog #airpollution #greenhousegases #health #Beijing Everyday Climate Change(@everydayclimatechange)張貼的相片 於 2015 年 12月 月 21 8:30上午 PST 張貼

碩士班時研究國際政治與民眾參與,平時關心生態環境與文化資產,經常撰寫國內外環境議題專文。2007年起追蹤氣候變遷與能源議題,並經營NGO對抗暖化行動資訊網。前台達電子文教基金會氣候與能源專員,現任職於工研院。
每年全球生產數百萬噸牡蠣,牠們不僅僅是舌尖美食,也是海洋裡低調的生態工程師。世界各地正掀起「牡蠣革命」,透過牡蠣的自然行為促進環境永續,像是英國大規模復育牡蠣、法國把牡蠣殼做成低碳建材、台灣則將牡蠣殼轉為機能纖維。
春暖花開乍聽美好,但在氣候變遷惡化的當下,春季瀰漫空中的花粉帶來濃度更高、分布更廣、數量更多的過敏原,在其他同樣由氣候變遷造成的各項因子作用下,放大作用成倍加劇了花粉期間過敏人的惡夢。
自 1950 年代以來,由於全球暖化、過度捕撈、污染、沿海開發等因素,世界上的珊瑚礁已經減少一半。珊瑚礁急遽減少促使人們採取各種措施來保護剩餘的珊瑚礁,一個恢復這些脆弱棲息地的創新方法,就是利用聲音的力量。
