Hunger At The 2°C Dinner Table
How 2°C redraws the map of hunger from the fields of Malawi to the checkout in Tesco, why it is arriving 20 years earlier than the IPCC said it would, and why starvation toll is still a policy choice.
Climate Uncovered
The science of climate change is highly complex. Most scientific data papers are difficult for the public and policymakers to decipher. Climate Uncovered provides Data-Driven Insights, Explores the Latest Research and translates Climate Science.

Disruptive Climate Futures - The physics, the feedbacks, the levers and the implications of possible responses
The Measurement Trap: Why Hiding Behind 20-Year Averages Will Turn 1.5°C into a Crime Scene
International courts have declared that passing 1.5°C triggers legal liability—but our insistence on historic averages means we won’t legally recognise the crime until after the damage is irreversible
Methane - CO₂’s troublesome little brother that packs a punch.
Methane is a powerful greenhouse gas but is short lived. This makes it a strong warming driver but also a fast acting brake if emissions are cut. A natural feedback lurks in the permafrost though.
The 3 levers that could stabilise the climate
Decarbonisation, Carbon Dioxide Removal and Solar Geoengineering all have the potential to reduce the Earth’s Energy Imbalance. Will we need all three to stabilise the climate?

The physics, the feedbacks, the implications and the responses to our changing climate.
How much is Climate Change to blame for Extreme Weather?
The science of Extreme Weather Attribution is used to assign a climate change contribution to the seasonal climate as well as individual weather events, but how does it work?
Coastal Protection: How much Sea Level Rise is it sensible to plan for?
Sea level rise may hit more slowly than heatwaves, but it is relentless and unstoppable. Building defences is costly and takes time, so what level of protection should Governments plan for?
The Barents Sea - Architect of the Ice Age and potential AMOC Backstop
Two recent papers show the importance of the Barents Seaway in sustaining the AMOC today as well as helping to shape the evolution of the ice age through the mid-Pleistocene Transition.
The Planetary Domino Effect - Global Climate Teleconnections & Feedback Cascades
How breaking climate buffers, teleconnections, and feedbacks are synchronising into a self-amplifying domino effect that threatens to permanently push global temperatures past 1.5°C
