By 2050 25% of UK homes at risk of flooding. This story has missed the main headlines today, but improved modelling and revised impacts of CC lead to a major increase in areas flagged at risk from flooding. It’s due to better diagnosis - AND - climate change. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

When Earth's temperature breaches +1.5/+2C depends on our emission choices and on the T during the pre-industrial era. Due to changes in the way we have measured ocean T through time (tinyurl.com/3trsfbrj) pre-industrial T is uncertain. Palaeoclimate offers a way to reduce this uncertainty (1/2) 🧪⚒️🌊
