The BBC suggested in a recent broadcast that the Earth has not warmed significantly over the past two decades, which is contrary to predictions from climate models. Were the scientists wrong? Watch the following video before discussing the questions that follow.
- Is Global Mean Surface Temperature (GMST) a good sole indicator for climate change? What other indicators/metrics could we use?
- How will a warming ocean effect arctic sea ice and the Greenland ice sheet? How will the reduction of ice effect future climate change and ocean currents? Why? (Check out other discussions on the blog).
- Were scientists in error about the rate of climate change? If so, do we have more time to develop green technologies for a sustainable economy, like graphene supercapacitors in the video below?
- Is there any similarity between how oceans store and release heat, and how graphene supercapitors store and release electricity?
