Dr Vicky Pope is a climate modeller from the Met Office. Here she is speaking about future climate change.
Highlights include
- a 1 degree warming will lead to irreversible changes in marine ecosystems
- a 2 degree warming will lead to the irreversible loss of the Greenland ice sheet and over longer timescales to a 7m rise in sea levels
- a 3 degree warming will lead to the loss of the Amazon rainforest.
Today she has an article in the Guardian in which she says
