How Climate Change drives Conflict | feat. @zentouroClimateAdam2022-04-07 | Climate change is a threat multiplier. It makes all those other things we care about worse. And in 2022 one of the things at the front of our minds - thanks to the Russian invasion of Ukraine - is war. Could climate change really trigger conflict? What is the latest we understand about how global warming and global wars could feed off each other?
Thanks to Miriam - of course Hurricane photo from NASA Goddard Space Flight CenterWere NOT about to pass the 1.5 degree climate change limitClimateAdam2023-05-27 | The world is getting hotter and the headlines are scary. So does climate change mean the world is about to pass the 1.5 degree limit set by the Paris Climate Agreement? And what would passing this limit even mean? Rather than showing that it's game over, increasing extreme weather and sea level rise would indicate that it's never been so urgent to stop climate change - it's never been so urgent to stop punching ourselves in the face.

So could this kind of pandemic actually happen? Could global warming see Pedro Pascal running for his life from the undead? And what are the other disease threats that climate change could trigger? From malaria, to new pandemics, to zombie viruses - the truth is worth a hard-hitting TV series of its own.

These catastrophes, made worse by climate change, had devastating impacts, but they also revealed vital lessons. Will we learn from 2022's extreme weather, as climate change continues to turbo change our disasters?

(artificial intelligence) will change everything we do. And climate change and energy are two of the biggest things that we do. From understanding climate change, to developing new energy tech, and even building better climate policy, A.I. could mean huge amounts in our fight to stop global warming. But A.I. isn't a silver bullet, and there are a host of risks to relying to heavily on machine learning to tackle our problems for us.

The USA recently even tried (and failed) to have the words removed from the latest IPCC report (AR6 WGII). This policy is: "Loss & Damage".
Also called "Climate Reparations", Loss & Damage is a way of seeking climate justice in the face of disasters, and will be a major talking point at this year's climate negotiations - COP27 in Egypt. So what is Loss & Damage, why is it so important for climate action, and why have countries been arguing about it for so long?

Richer countries have already burned way more than their fair share, and are continuing to do so, even as we get closer and closer to blowing our budget.How Drought led to UKs Flash FloodsClimateAdam2022-08-24 | Climate change amplifies disasters - whether that's heatwaves or downpours or droughts. But we forget that these extreme weather events interact with each other, amplifying each other when they arrive. And so we end up being surprised when unusually hot, dry weather can lead to devastating flash floods, like we've seen recently in the UK.
My mum for stopping asking me questions and letting me finish filming Flood photo by johndalWhat on Earth is up with Heatwaves?ClimateAdam2022-08-04 | Extreme heat and wildfires are battering the entire globe - one of the most obvious symptoms that climate change is here, today. Europe has roasted, while the UK topped 40 degrees Celsius for the first time in history. Meanwhile wildfires rage across the planet.
So why is global warming turbo charging extreme heat just so much? Why is only a 'small' amount of climate change causing heatwaves to sometimes become hundreds or thousands of times more likely? And what can we do protect ourselves, as heat waves continue to heat up?

It turns out that stopping climate change would have some huge benefits. But - surprisingly - it'd be worth the UK getting to net zero, even if no-one else bothers and all that climate change still happens.

Over the past decades, scientists from James Hansen to Charles Keeling to Exxon have raised the alarm in every way you could think of. I look back at these climate change warnings, and see how they hold up today.

Not only does it lower emissions, but it saves us money and even saves lives. It's always been a win-win-win, but with the Russian invasion of Ukraine, insulating our homes better has never been so important. So do groups like Insulate Britain have a point? And how can we actually insulate our homes better in the fight against global warming?

In fact, some parts of the world may have even - temporarily - crossed the 35°C wet bulb temperature threshold - conditions that our bodies simply can't handle.
