Philip Sutton will discuss what needs to be done to create a safe climate future and the time scale in which we must act. We must begin with taking a look at the climate science. The loss of the Arctic ice (due to be completely gone in each autumn within 10 years) will create catastrophic climate conditions. That will liberate many times more greenhouse gas from the permafrost than the use of fossil fuel has injected into the air so far. That will remove the Himalayan ice that provides summer water flow that billions of people in East and South Asia depend on to grow food. That will melt the Greenland ice sheet and probably cause the break up of the West Antartic ice sheet causing metres of sea rise over this century. That will destroy the Amazon and turn it into savannah grassland and that will destroy the Barrier Reef. We must recognise a central reality. The earth is already too hot. There is already too much CO2 in the air. However it is possible to now just show global warming. Acting together, people around the world can reverse the warming. Hear about about steps necessary and possible to create a safe climate.
