Since the dawn of the industrial age, our planet has warmed. Recent warming is widespread, rapid and intensifying. The ten hottest years on record have all occurred in the last decade. This past year (2023) was the hottest year by far at 1.34°C to 1.48°C warmer than the preindustrial average and among the warmest years in at least 100,000 years. At present rates of greenhouse gas emissions, it will only be a few years before the 2015 Paris Agreement’s 1.5°C goal is surpassed.
In this talk, Dr. Robert J. Allen, Full Professor of Climatology at UC Riverside, discusses how and why our climate is changing and what we need to do to avert the climate catastrophe.

WoW! Not a single comment 😲
Thank you for the lecture👍
Excellent presentation, straight down the line, no fluff.
Really disappointed by the audience questions at the end. Have these people just been sleep walking through the last two decades?
On point!!
There is no catastrophe. There is just climate.
Pure propaganda nonsense! These are WEATHER disasters! It is amazing to me that these frauds and crooks that call themselves Climate Scientists and experts, can't tell the difference between "climate" and "weather". Climate is NOT weather and weather is not climate and anyone who claims to see the effects of climate change in any weather event or series of events is a liar and a fraud. Weather is governed by the Sun and climate is governed by the internal temperature of our planet and neither can tell us anything whatsoever about the other!
There is no climate threat and millions of years of history prove that we have an extremely steady and stable climate, without which, we wouldn't exist and there would be no higher life forms in the universe!
That said, weather will always be a threat because we can't predict it…
