Global warming of just a few degrees can cause widespread changes across the globe, state the Royal Society, demonstrating why climate action is so important and...
In a short guide explaining the science behind climate change, the Royal Society describes scientists as being “very confident” that the earth will continue to warm...
Ocean acidification, which can be caused be rising CO2 emissions, is likely to cause as yet unknown impacts on the marine ecosystem and the food chain,...
Sea level rise is being driven by warming oceans, melting mountain glaciers and the loss of the Greenland and Arctic ice sheets, the Royal Society explains...
