Putting it too optimistically? we think putting it too optimistically? - think the mountain and polar glaciers, the smaller glaciers and also arctic sea ice could somehow reversible changes. so if we limit warming and eventually reduce temperatures further, those could regrow and restore to some degree. the ice sheets are much slower to respond, so greenland and antarctica will keep responding for hundreds, if not thousands of years and combined with the warming of the ocean, which makes it expa...

The report warns that the global average temperature rise could reach or exceed 1.5 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 rapid and sustained emission reductions. our science e...

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 scientists from 66 countries. the report warns that the global average temperature rise could reach or exceed 1.5 celsius in the next 20 years — ten years sooner than expected. it said rising temperatures will cause more frequent, extreme weather events ac...

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. the science has never been so clear that we can head off the worst of climate change, but not all of it, so we urgently need to get ready. david shukman, bbc news. and its becoming increasingly cle...

Have the glaciers of the mountains and the polar regions and we have the great ice sheets of greenland and antarctica. the mountains and polar glaziers are particularly sensitive and we have already committed to further melting over the next decade, to hundreds of years. we�*re also going to see more ice loss from the greenland ice sheet over this century. and for the antarctic ice sheet, there is a wide range of possibilities if we limit greenhouse gas emissions. we may be fortunate and have ...

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 the century if emissions are brought under control, or a metre if they arent. 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 ...

Area of expertise is the oceans and sea—level change, in fact he spent three years investigating this, haven�*t you? so it would be remiss of me not to find out more about that. what did you find exactly? that is right, we have over 200 authors in the whole report. we have looked at 111,000 scientific studies over three years and i work on ice sheets and sea—level rise, as you say. we don�*t do new research, we assess the robustness of the evidence. forthe assess the robustness of the ev...
