Met Office: A review of the UK’s climate in 2022 - Carbon Brief
https://www.carbonbrief.org/met-office-a-review-of-the-uks-climate-in-2022/

The year of 2022 will be remembered for the passing of two significant milestones – a daily maximum temperature of more than 40C and a national average temperature over the year of more than 10C.

In this review, we unpack the UK’s climate of 2022 and show that both these notable records were highly unlikely to have occurred without the influence of human-caused climate change.

Projekty Jána Skaličana sa venujú klimatickej kríze a majú často kolaboratívny charakter. Aktuálne je doktorandom na katedre Fotografie a nových médií, ale v tvorbe premýšľa nielen nad možnosťami fotografického zobrazenia, ale aj presahov do iných médií. Skaličan je ďalším tohtoročným laureátom Ceny Oskára Čepana, s ktorým robila rozhovor Ivana Hrončeková.

Climate change could cost Germany €900 billion – DW – 03/06/2023

In a paper entitled "Costs of Climate Change Impacts in Germany", the Institute for Ecological Economy Research (IÖW), the Society for Economic Structures Research (GWS) and Prognos AG ran through various scenarios for the period 2022 to 2050, which differed in their severity depending on the extent of global warming.

In the best case of "weak climate change," costs of €280 billion would amount during the time period. However, that figure could range up to €900 billion euros in less favorable scenarios.

According to the models, the average annual costs of extreme events such as heat and floods in Germany would increase by between 1.5 to 5 times per year by 2050.

That could represent a decrease in GDP of 0.6%-1.8% in the year 2050.

More than 170tn plastic particles afloat in oceans, say scientists | Plastics | The Guardian

“Cleanup is futile if we continue to produce plastic at the current rate, and we have heard about recycling for too long while the plastic industry simultaneously rejects any commitments to buy recycled material or design for recyclability. It’s time to address the plastic problem at the source

What we learned about the climate system in 2022
Beyond all the hype and all the anxiety about climate policymaking, the upbeat newsmaking about energy transitions and the growing dread of civilisational collapse, what have we learned about the climate system in the last year? Here are some key obser-vations drawn from research and data published in 2022.
