1.5°C vs 2°C Global Warming
Kevin Trenberth
Former Coordinating Lead Author of the IPCC
It is crucial to limit and slow down global warming, and this cannot be emphasised enough. Every small increase in temperature is accompanied by a corresponding increase in hot extremes, severe storms, droughts, rising oceans etc. Join Kevin, as he talks us through the importance of rates of change vs one-off climate events, along with the differences the planet will see at 1.5 vs 2 degrees of warming.

It is clear climate change is having an impact on the planet, every year climate events seem to get bigger and last longer. An IPCC report highlighted the importance of attempting to limit warming to 1.5 degrees vs 2 degrees. With every incremental increase in temperatures, we see increased hot extremes, more extreme storms, worsening droughts, rising oceans, loss of species, food shortages, health risks and increased poverty and displacement. It is imperative that everyone on the planet attempts to limit and slow down the rate of warming.
Key learning objectives:
Understand the difference between rates of change vs one-off climate events
Outline how different 1.5°C vs 2°C warming looks

Scientific Evidence of Climate Change
In this video, Kevin explains how global warming has been observed and measured from a scientific perspective. He looks at rising global temperatures caused by increased CO2 levels and how Earth’s energy imbalance has risen over time. He then explains how global warming has been observed through rising ocean temperatures and sea levels, as well as through changes in the land and the ice.

Global Response to the Climate Crisis
The climate crisis is the biggest challenge humanity has ever faced. So you would expect the reaction to reflect this, right? Wrong. So far, the global response has been underwhelming. Join Kevin Trenberth in this video as he outlines what steps have been taken to mitigate climate change and whether or not they have been successful.
