The Science of Climate Change

By Terry Abbiss

That Climate Change is real now; is accepted by most people, and in this talk, Terry hopes to explain some of the physics that underpin Climate Change (no equations but several graphs!). He will also discuss some of the chemical and other measurements that have enabled the calculation of temperatures over tens of thousands of years and the incredible measurement of actual carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere from many thousands of years ago. He hopes that a better understanding of Climate Change science will help all of us in the future when we really do have to accept limitations on our use of fossil fuel energy.
