Our new scenario (2.6°C; Figures ​ Figures2 2 and ​ and3) 3) is intended to demonstrate probable effects on sea ice and therefore emperor penguins by 2100 if governments act now to control GHG emissions by 2050. This optimistic scenario reflects the current window of opportunity, demonstrating that even with immediate positive action, inherent lags in the climate system will continue to have impacts into the future once carbon neutrality is reached. The 2.6°C scenario developed here assumes that CO 2 emissions are in accord with RCP 8.5 scenarios until 2050 for which emissions are in closest agreement with historical total cumulative CO 2 emissions and is the best match until the mid‐century under current and stated policies (Schwalm et al., 2020a) (Section 2). To consider a longer time horizon under this new scenario, we extended the sea ice projections from 2050 to 2100 by assuming that sea ice decline will pause for the next 50years due to the lagged responses of sea ice to GHG emissions (Section 2). Indeed, Ridley and Hewitt ( 2014) showed that minimum extents of Antarctic sea ice lags behind peak concentrations of CO 2 by ~20years, followed by a 30year pause in sea ice decline, while atmospheric concentrations of CO 2 would return to preindustrial levels. Veronica’s 86th birthday is approaching. She is cantankerous and feisty. She lives in an old mansion. A woman, Eileen comes in to help around the house. A hired Gardner keeps the grounds in fine condition. Veronica has been friendless most of her long life and has no known relatives. She is very wealthy and is wondering to whom she will leave her riches. Her days are spent doing crossword puzzles, reading, and watching TV.

She can be found either collecting litter from the beach (‘people who litter the countryside should be shot’), trying to locate her glasses (‘someone must have moved them’) or shouting instructions to her assistant, Eileen (‘Eileen, door!’).The community earth system model: A framework for collaborative research. Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society, 94( 9), 1339–1360. 10.1175/BAMS-D-12-00121.1 Veronica, for all her cranky sullenness, is extremely likable. She is stubborn, feisty, and does not suffer fools gladly. I felt such affection for her, almost instantaneously. And over the course of the narrative, Prior skillfully allows the reader to know Veronica deeply and understand the reasons for her gruff exterior. Veronica’s life story is quite poignant, and it is no wonder she has built such walls around her icy heart. How the Penquins Saved Veronica is just the uplifting sort of read I needed this week. It���s sweet and touching — don’t miss it! The truth is that she's unsure what to do with her wealthy once she dies and even through she's asked her day carer Eileen to seek if she has any living relatives, Veronica lives quite an isolated life.

She shows up, and we are treated to a delightful story about an old woman who still has a few things to learn, a grandson she had just recently learned about, three scientists who also have a few things to learn, and an orphaned penguin named Pip, in addition to his entire colony of Adelie penguins. Fiercely independent and impeccably dressed, Veronica has lived an incredible 87 years. Most of them alone, in her huge house by the sea. But with the arrival of brave and resilient Daisy into her life, Veronica finds she has a renewed thirst for adventure - and that they both share a passion for penguins!The impact of extreme events at regional scales is complex (Figure ​ (Figure5), 5), and the regional population dynamics differ among extreme scenarios when projected sea ice losses are large (4.3°C Scenario) and the frequency of extreme events is proportional to sea ice loss. For example, in the Ross Sea, emperor penguin habitat is projected to be unsuitable 10years earlier (around ~2050) when sea ice‐dependent extreme events are included (Figure S2). As such, emperor penguins disperse to other regions, and regional increases are projected in the Indian Ocean and western Pacific Ocean, and the Amundsen Sea and Bellingshausen Sea. However, since none of these regions provide sustainable habitat, movements amongst colonies results in large global population declines (Figure S2; Figures ​ Figures4 4 and ​ and5 5). If the frequency of extreme events is set to a constant historical frequency and affects only reproduction, on average across the five climate scenarios and six decades (2050−2100), the global population medians with extreme events decrease by ~12% relative to the median without extreme events. This percentage decrease is larger when the extreme events affect both reproduction and survival: 18%. For example, under the 1.5°C Scenario, by 2100, 170,000 breeding pairs are projected without extreme events, while 150,226 and 136,507 breeding pairs are projected if extreme events affect only reproduction, or both reproduction and survival respectively.

The most captivating aspect of the book is undoubtedly the penguins. Is there anyone on this planet who doesn't adore penguins? I thought so. Every penguin-related element is incorporated into the narrative, making it genuinely intriguing. However, the same can be said about any well-produced documentaries about these fascinating creatures.

Her reading obsession continued throughout her teenage years when she studied both English Language and English Literature at college. To diagnose uncertainties related to natural climate variability—a noise from unforced variability generated internally within the climate system (e.g., weather) or associated with external forces to the climate system (e.g., volcanoes)—require multiple climate ensemble members from a single AOGCM. We also wanted to use emission scenarios specifically designed to assess the Paris Climate Agreement targets. Large ensembles and simulations with specialized Paris Target scenario emissions scenarios are not typically available from CMIP AOGCMs but have been performed for the Community Earth System Model, version 1 (CESM1). Therefore, we use results exclusively from the CESM1 as discussed further below. Furthermore, the book touches upon significant themes such as anti-religious sentiments, climate change, pollution, animal extinction, drug abuse, marriage, prisoners of war during World War II, orphaned children, and the pervasive loneliness experienced, particularly in old age.

In the worlds’ present state, the story seemed surreal. It was set in a time when people were going about their daily lives, going to work, and travelling. It seems a long time ago. Even though it will put her in the spotlight, just when she thought she would soon fade into the wings.
