Roger Highfield, Science Director, discusses a new study which says the world’s “safe” climate limit may be closer to 1°C—not 1.5°C—as ice loss accelerates and irreversible sea level rise looms.
A major ocean current that regulates global temperatures – and gives the UK mild winters – is weakening due to climate change. Science Director Roger Highfield describes a new study which suggests it may avoid collapse this century, thanks to powerful winds that whip around Antarctica.
As climate scientists worry that the Earth may tip beyond a point of irreversible climate change, new research suggests that even the simplest computer model is vulnerable to such tipping points. Roger Highfield, Science Director, reports.
