Photo by @edkashi @viiphoto Workers load recently cut sugarcane onto a truck near the town of Viejo in Chinandega, Nicaragua on Jan. 6, 2015. Climate change is making the lives of sugarcane workers in Central America more perilous as temperatures rise and droughts increase. Over 20,000 men and women who worked in the cane fields have died from Chronic Kidney Disease of unknown origin (CKDu) in the past 10 years alone. Dehydration and severe heat exposure are believed to be the leading causes of CKDu, so the changing climate has the potential to make any already-bad situation worse. This is a perfect example of how the world’s most vulnerable people are also the most exposed to the effects of climate change. #climatchange #everydayclimatechange #climatechangeisreal #climate #globalwarming National Geographic(@natgeo)張貼的相片 於 2016 年 5月 月 22 10:43上午 PDT 張貼
Photo by @BrianSkerry. A curious Whitecoat Harp Seal pup playfully rolls over in Canada’s Gulf of St. Lawrence. No more than 12 days old, the pup will soon embark on his first swim in the frigid waters of the Arctic. Harp seals are very social, and noisy, animals, often forming large colonies on the frozen tundra of Canada, while spending the majority of their time beneath the surface. Though these seals are hunted commercially for their fur, the loss of sea ice due to climate change is having an even more dramatic impact on this species.

Photo by James Whitlow Delano @jameswhitlowdelano for @everydayclimatechange Looking out, through the smog, across the Forbidden City from Jingshan. The Air Quality Index (AQI) for this day for PM 2.5 for particulate matter was 188. AQI's have exceeded 500 recently, and the government issued firor the second time in history a smog red alert this week, for climate change-inducing greenhouse gases. Last year the central government gave a directive to Hebei Province, which wraps around Beijing like a collar, to close selected factories that employ coal-fired blast furnaces and to consolidate steel operations in an effort to improve air quality in the capital city area. Apparently, the desired effect is still aspirational. A 2013 Bloomberg article said that people in northern China may die five years earlier the expect because of diseases caused by air pollution because of the use of coal for winter heating of homes. #climatechange #globalwarming #china #coal #smog #airpollution #greenhousegases #health #Beijing Everyday Climate Change(@everydayclimatechange)張貼的相片 於 2015 年 12月 月 21 8:30上午 PST 張貼

碩士班時研究國際政治與民眾參與,平時關心生態環境與文化資產,經常撰寫國內外環境議題專文。2007年起追蹤氣候變遷與能源議題,並經營NGO對抗暖化行動資訊網。前台達電子文教基金會氣候與能源專員,現任職於工研院。
氣候變遷加上高度都市化,巴西城市中的蠍子快速繁殖,每年通報的螫傷案超過20萬件。其中,小孩、長輩是最危險的族群。專家呼籲從日常預防做起,醫療單位目前靠血清來救命,政府則開始推動防治措施。
夏季似乎變得越來越長,日本許多企業開始提倡,一年不再只有四季,應該在夏、秋之際新增「猛暑」,改成一年五季。「猛暑日」是日本氣象廳在2007年新增的預報用語,意指當日最高氣溫超過35℃,民眾需要留意中暑,原本應該是新概念,現在卻成了夏季的常態。光是今(2025)年8月,東京都的猛暑日就達到18天,更一度連續10天出現「猛暑日」,刷新最長的連續紀錄。回顧日本過去8月最高平均氣溫,1975年到2003年間還會在30℃以下,但這5年都落在31.6-34.4℃,足見近年日本夏季有多炎熱。
在台灣,大家都是吃米長大的,但是我們很少會關注稻米中的砷含量。水稻栽種過程中會吸收土壤中的砷,而最近有研究發現,在全球暖化下,稻米中的砷含量可能會變得比以往還要多。另有抽驗調查發現,美國市售米的砷濃度高於嬰幼兒建議上限值,引發關注。
