in different regions – rich compared to poor? How wealthy a country is influences how well it can adapt to a changing climate? 20 minutes Groupwork Tell the students that the most crucial step to limit the negative impacts of climate change is to make big and quick reductions in global greenhouse gas emissions

everything right! • Need for speed, for model development and application. E.g. do global climate models need to be non-hydrostatic? • Need to span full range of uncertainty/risk. Model uncertainty a bigger factor for climate than weather? Is the concept of an ensemble of each centre’s ‘best’ climate

also did some extra courses on radar systems. What skills are needed for your job? You definitely need to be a good team player and problem solver. Combining creativity with technical know-how can be a big bonus too – it really helps if you can look at a challenge and think creatively about potential

extremes will increase at a greater rate than global mean temperature increases. Higher temperature extremes mean that there is a bigger risk of regions becoming difficult for humans to live and work in.  At 2 °C average warming above pre-industrial levels, the number of people living in areas affected

. Worryingly one in six (16%) motorists say they, at best, check their oil level only every six months and a similar number (17%) check their coolant level at this long interval – two key DIY steps that could have a big impact on whether or not your car breaks down and can lead to very costly repairs

ensure there’s enough to go around by being mindful of the amount of water we use while ensuring we stay hydrated and safe. “By making just small changes indoors or in the garden you can have a big impact on our water consumption. Our Water’s Worth Saving campaign has a host of helpful top-tips showing

, resulting in more accurate temperature forecasts, more accurate predictions of rain, hail and snow, and more accurate weather symbols.   “It’s taken big scientific investment to get to this stage, so it’s an important milestone for the Met Office, and there are more exciting developments to come. We’re

around 4000 active participants with a database approaching three million records. Judith Garforth added: “With a changing climate it is vital to continue collecting phenological records. The gap between 1948 and 1999 when we had no UK phenology recording scheme coincides with a big change in mean spring
