Climate Facts: Ocean-based solutions can reduce greenhouse emissions by 35%

The complexities of climate change and its associated jargon can prove difficult to digest.

TheCable’s quick climate facts will help demystify these concepts through easy-to-understand and straight-to-the-point explanations.

Here are some to keep at the tip of your fingers:

• A study by Climate Central says human-caused environmental change has intensified Atlantic hurricanes over the past six years.

• The report said climate change increased the severity of winds formed in the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season by 9 to 28 miles per hour due to warmer-than-average ocean temperatures.

• The United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP) says human induced methane emissions are responsible for about one-third of the planet’s current warming.

• UNEP said reducing these emissions is the fastest, most cost-effective way to slow global warming.

• A study by Ocean Panel found that ocean-based climate solutions can lower annual greenhouse gas emissions by 35 percent in 2050.
