How do we know humans are responsible for #climatechange?

IPCC’s Sixth Assessment Report shows that the dominant role of humans in driving recent climate change is clear. This is based on a synthesis of information from multiple lines of evidence.

Not to be alarmist but…this is what’s called a six-sigma event, now unfolding in Antarctica.

Otherwise known as a once-in-7.5-million-year event.

Hang onto your hats.

Important for students in all year groups to watch this and understand how small actions, such as taking public transport instead of driving and reduce-reuse-recycling can help. https://t.co/gMIlpBZKr0
