Climate tipping points: how close are they and what to do about them?

Speaker: David Armstrong McKay (University of Sussex)

We are living in an alarming period of global warming. The series will show how past changes in greenhouse gases impacted our planet’s global climate, hydrological cycles, ice cover, and marine and terrestrial ecosystems. It will explore how understanding our geological past can contribute to potential physical and social solutions to mitigate extreme future events.
