A new report by the Grantham Institute sets out how 35 countries are planning their adaptation to worsening climate impacts, and finds that adaptation efforts are not keeping pace with the scale and urgency of emerging risks.

Climate change is in some ways not that complicated. Lets park our political views at the door for a little bit, and be prepared to believe both the science, and the evidence of our own eyes. You could start by visiting your local glacier. If there is not a glacier readily to hand, we can help. We visited the Hopper Glacier in Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan on your behalf.

In this blog we interview Lt. General Russel Honoré, who led the federal response to Hurricane Katrina 20 years ago. While many local, state and federal leaders in charge during Katrina emerged with badly damaged reputations, Honoré became famous for getting stuff done and not mincing his words. Since retiring in 2008 he has taken that no-nonsense approach into environmental advocacy in Louisiana.

In this mini-series, we investigate some of the impacts of climate change that are having a worldwide impact, and which therefore have the potential to generate a worldwide response.

In this second blog in the series, we look at glaciers.

In this mini-series, we investigate some of the impacts of climate change that are having a worldwide impact, and which therefore have the potential to generate a worldwide response.

In this first article we consider heatwaves and related extreme weather.

On Earth Day 2025 - we celebrate the work of citizen scientists from Nova Scotia to the River Wye

From time to time we feel the need to go back to the science for a reminder of the urgency of the cliamte change. Here is a summary of three recent important scientific reports.

In this blog we pick out three decarbonisation trends, one good, one bad, one interesting, from researcher Nat Bullard’s annual presentation.

“The climate emergency is here for the Earth’s tallest mountain, 70 years on from its first ascent, with two thirds of the Hindu-Kush Himalaya glaciers projected to vanish by the end of the century.”

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change ‘IPCC’ released its Sixth Assessment Summary Report on 20 March 2023. This is a key scientific baseline, consensus and internationally respected building block which needs to form the basis for all climate actions that governments take towards mitigation and adaptation on climate change.

In Part 2 of a three-part series, we look at the initial response to the recent IEA & IPCC reports from governments, and some of the wider implications for financial institutions.

In this first of a three-part series, we look at the way in which the publication in the summer of 2021 of two reports, from the IAE and the IPCC, has fundamentally changed the ground rules for fossil fuel investment.

In this blog, we define terms like scientific consensus and scientific theory, and examine the level of consensus regarding man-made climate change among climate scientists.

How do we predict our climate’s future and what do those predictions say?

How has the climate of our planet changed over the last 4.5 billion years and what does that tell us about the changes we see today?

Part 3 of our Climate Science Series looks at how the climate regulates itself through feedback loops, and how it could spiral out of control by passing tipping points

Part 2 of our Climate Science series explains how humans have impacted the climate up until now

A summary of a presentation by Dr Nilufer Oral on “Climate Change and Protecting the Oceans: A Tale of Two Regime’s”.

This is the first of a series of blog posts that will give you a basic introduction to the science of climate change.
