The year 2020 was a mere a prelude to a looming climate crisis.

What we face will be more frequent and powerful hurricanes and flooding, more intense wildfires and more prolonged heat waves, along with long-term climate change projections (e.g., sea-level rise and coastal morphology).

摘要

The year 2020 was a mere a prelude to a looming climate crisis. In 2020, tropical storms in the Atlantic Ocean outnumbered the number of letters in the Latin Alphabet and we moved to the use of the Greek Alphabet, Alpha, Beta, …, all the way through Iota, with 30 named storms in total, 13 of which progressed into hurricanes; Wildfires in California burned more than 4 million acres, and the two largest wildfires in Colorado’s history occurred simultaneously. What we face will be more frequent and powerful hurricanes and flooding, more intense wildfires and more prolonged heat waves, along with long-term climate change projections (e.g., sea-level rise and coastal morphology). More coordinated, comprehensive climate actions and adaptation are needed to enhance community resilience.
