A 50% rise in the level of CO2 could reduce rainfall in the Amazon more than deforestation
Publicado em 03 de julho de 2021
A 50% rise in the level of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere could reduce rainfall in the Amazon as much as or even more than substitution of the entire forest by pasture. The rise in CO2 would reduce the amount of water vapor emitted by the forest, leading to a 12% annual drop in the volume of rainfall, while total deforestation would reduce rainfall by 9%.
These estimates are presented in a study published in Biogeosciences by scientists affiliated with the National Space Research [...]

Experiments simulate possible impact of climate change on crabs
Publicado em 15 junho 2021Albeit very small, with a carapace width of only 3 cm, the Atlantic mangrove fiddler crab Leptuca thayeri can be a great help to scientists seeking to understand more about the effects of global climate change. In a study published in the journal Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science, Brazilian researchers supported by São Paulo Research Foundation – FAPESP show how the ocean warming and acidification forecast by the end of the century could affect the lifecycle of these [...]ver notícia -
Most cities in São Paulo state have low potential capacity to adapt to climate change
Publicado em 08 junho 2021Most cities in São Paulo state (Brazil) have low potential capacity to adapt to climate change in terms of the ability to formulate public policy that facilitates the revamping of their housing and transportation systems, for example, to account for the impact of climate change. This is the main conclusion of a study conducted by researchers at the University of São Paulo (USP) in partnership with colleagues at the University of Campinas (UNICAMP) and the Federal University [...]ver notícia
