"Climate change: the IPCC has served its purpose, so do we still need it?" https://theconversation.com/climate-change-the-ipcc-has-served-its-purpose-so-do-we-still-need-it-183550 (A summary of the webinar below.) ---------------- Video from the webinar: "Do we need climate change's IPCC?" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9vqF4hU9uk ------------------------- Details: Webinar: Do we need climate change's IPCC? Was held on Thursday 12 May, 1400-1500 UK time For the UK Alliance for Disaster Research Speakers: Lisa Schipper, University of Oxford Mark Pelling, King's College London Silke Beck, Technical University of Munich Chair: Sonja Ayeb-Karlsson, University College London Organised by: Ilan Kelman, University College London After more than three decades, six assessment reports, and numerous special reports, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) continues to tell us what we know already: Humanity is changing the Earth's climate rapidly and substantively--and we could stop it if we want to. Do thousands of scientists really need to spend the hundreds of thousands of hours to repeat this same message across reams of reports? Or is it time to say "thank you" in order to shift this effort to original science and actual action? This webinar's panel discusses these questions to tell us "Do we need climate change's IPCC?" ######################################################################## To unsubscribe from the RURALCLIMATECHANGE list, click the following link: https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/WA-JISC.exe?SUBED1=RURALCLIMATECHANGE&A=1 This message was issued to members of www.jiscmail.ac.uk/RURALCLIMATECHANGE, a mailing list hosted by www.jiscmail.ac.uk, terms & conditions are available at https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/policyandsecurity/
