People are changing the atmosphere and the ocean by burning fossil fuels, and drastically changing the way land is used through urban development, deforestation, farming and pollution. These changes result in major impacts to the environment.
We have already experienced 1oC of warming since pre-industrial levels (roughly defined as before 1850). Without major global action we are on course for further significant warming of the climate.
The UKESM team has developed interactive resources and taken part in public science events to share our knowledge in climate change and Earth system modelling.
