The significance of 1.5°C of warming

One concept which confounds many people in discussions around climate change and global warning, is that a rise of 1.5°C could be significant. I’ve never known a single day in my life where there’s not been greater variation than that, let alone then talking about seasonal variations in temperatures. So it’s no wonder that an average increase of a paltry 1.5°C leading to disaster is a difficult concept to come to grips with. Let’s explore how much it could really mean.

Methane and Global Warming

When we discuss climate change, most of our focus is on carbon dioxide or CO2 emissions. But today, we’re talking about methane, a greenhouse gas 80 times more potent than carbon dioxide. So, why don’t we hear more about it?
