on the broader effects of climate change initiatives, enabling decision makers to explain how climate change action can not only help with reducing the physical impacts from global warming but can help achieve wider benefits such as improving air quality, health and wellbeing and boosting employment

: Science Report, (Murphy et al, 2018). For RCP8.5, it is clear that the PPE-15 models tend to sample the warmer end of the future response range projected by the probabilistic approach and CMIP5-13 models sample the mid-range and colder end – with some limited overlap in the middle. This is consistent

at the University of Exeter said: “AmazonFACE will help us meet the COP26 goals by giving scientists crucial information on how fast carbon dioxide would be removed from the air by the Amazon forest in future. This is critical for calculating the carbon budget for limiting global warming to 1.5°C. We

early on the 29th spread northwards, to become slow-moving over the north, turning more showery during the afternoon; though remaining cloudy for most, it was another unseasonably warm day with Kew Gardens (London) reaching 22.9 °C. An area of rain over East Anglia and the south-east cleared after

to build a more resilient food system? Box 1: CASE STUDY - Severe drought in Liaoning, July and August 2014 In July and August 2014, seven provinces in North China experienced a severe drought. For some areas, it was the most serious drought since 1951 (Wang and He, 2015). Northeast China had considerably

developed over the Bay of Biscay to the south. Particularly warm tropical air and very cold polar air collided, forcing warm air to rise creating an area of low pressure. A big difference in temperature between the warm and cold air helped to cause a rapid ascent and a particularly low pressure system

of Science Simon Vosper leads the scientific work on weather modelling, which is the basis of forecasting.  He said: “Summer is famously tricky for weather forecasting in the UK. A lack of global drivers compared to winter, coupled with the potential for small-scale impactful weather, means that it can

of the meteorological advice his staff could provide, the director of the Meteorological Office, W Napier Shaw, acted quickly. In just over a month he had completed initial negotiations with the war office and arranged for the establishment of the Meteorological Field Service as a section of the Royal

for five emission scenarios (RCP2.6, RCP4.5, RCP6.0, RCP8.5 and SRESA1B) and five global warming levels (GWL1.5, GWL2.0, GWL2.5, GWL3.0, GWL4.0). • Global (60km) projections - a set of 28 climate futures at 60km grid resolution, showing how the 21 st Century climate may evolve under two emissions scenarios

as they escaped the biting insects of the lowlands. He talks about the incredible sight when a relic, which was encased in ice, is found.   Lars Pilø said: “It doesn’t look old: the ice acts as a time machine.” Some pieces date back 6000 years, when temperatures were higher in a period following
