Of the worlds top scientists from 66 countries. the report warns that the global average temperature rise could reach or exceed 1.5 degrees celsius in the next 20 years — ten years sooner than expected. it said rising temperatures will cause more frequent, extreme weather events across the globe and warned that irreversible changes are already ongoing in melting ice sheets, rising sea levels and increasing acidification. but the report also stated that climate change could be slowed down, with...

That there is going to be some rise in sea level whatever we do, maybe half a metre by the end of the century if emissions are brought under control, or one metre if they are not and that would be really devastating for millions of people on coastlines around the world. but they cant rule out a far bigger rise approaching two metres if the polar ice sheets collapse. the great ice sheets are already adding to the level of the sea, but this process may suddenly accelerate. scientists arent sure, b...

We do, maybe half a metre by the end of the century if emissions are brought under control, or one metre if they are not and that would be really devastating for millions of people on coastlines around the world. but they cant rule out a far bigger rise approaching two metres if the polar ice sheets collapse. the great ice sheets are already adding to the level of the sea, but this process may suddenly accelerate. scientists arent sure, but the implications would be disastrous. india is now in t...

And 195 countries agree with him, as they have all signed off on the findings. in short, greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuel burning and deforestation are choking the planet, and putting billions of people at immediate risk. the report warns that the global average temperature rise could reach or exceed 1.5 degrees celsius in the next 20 years — ten years sooner than expected. it said rising temperatures will cause more frequent, extreme weather events across the globe. and warned that i...

If emissions are brought under control, or one metre if they are not and that would be really devastating for millions of people on coastlines around the world. but they cant rule out a far bigger rise approaching two metres if the polar ice sheets collapse. the great ice sheets are already adding to the level of the sea, but this process may suddenly accelerate. scientists arent sure, but the implications would be disastrous. india is now in the grip of flooding. high seas would make it worse. ...

Every little bit of global warming makes the consequences worse so if we reach net zero emissions and stabilise global temperatures and stop them from continuing to rise, and we will stop things getting worse for changes in extreme weather but there is no going back. and the other exception to this is that sea level rising will continue for centuries or even thousands of years even if we manage to stabilise global temperatures and so there are very long—term consequences from our actions that ...

We just dont know how much. the scientists say that the level of the oceans is bound to go up, almost whatever we do, maybe by half a metre or so by the end of the century, if emissions are brought under control, but maybe by a metre if they arent. and of course, that would be devastating for millions of people living on coastlines around the world. but they also cant rule out a much larger rise, approaching two metres. it all depends whether the polar ice sheets start collapsing. the great ice ...

Off the windows. this problems only going to get worse with climate change. were going to have, i fear, more and more heatwaves and theyre going to be worse and worse, so thats why i think it makes sense to shade your windows now, start learning how to adapt. but some changes will be far tougher to deal with. the oceans will keep rising, we just dont know how much. the scientists are warning that theres going to be some rise in sea level really whatever we do. maybe half a metre by the end of th...

Hello, and welcome to the programme. global warming is accelerating, and human influence is unequivically to blame — thats the warning from a damning new report from the un and its secretary general. antonio guteres says the evidence can not be denied: greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuel burning and deforestation are choking the planet and putting billions of people at immediate risk. its the most comprehensive climate change study ever and is produced by hundreds of the worlds top scien...
