I wanted to promote a great journal for science for kids.
Frontier for Young Minds aims to engage school pupils in the science review activity. Practicing scientists/experts can write (or re-write) their latest research, accessible for kids. This is then reviewed by school children to check you’ve mastered it!

See our Climate Collection here – based around latest IPCC FAQs

We can’t adapt our way out of climate change – needed, but not sufficient. Without mitigation, adaptation will hit limits.

Likewise we can’t just buy our way out of responsibility by compensating for damage. Again – necessary but not sufficient. We really must stop making the damage worse

It all feels toothless without action on emissions – a bit like agreeing accident damages with a victim while you’re still hitting them on the head with a hammer. “Don’t worry we’ll use a smaller hammer”

Reflections on COP27 – still undecided how disappointed I am – interested in thoughts

The mitigation side was a disaster, but loss and damage is a big step forward. Not my expertise, but this is maybe worth more than I thought? It’s definitely a conceptual leap – but only time will tell how seriously the pledges to it are kept

I’ve been working with some of the kids here for a year or so – it is so energising to see the enthusiasm for the environment and the hope for the future. It’s why we do the job – we want a world our kids can inherit without them resenting what we did to it

Huge thanks to the school for all the support. Mrs Whalley is a fab head 😊 who enables so much positive action in the school. Great support from Fiona, Alison and many others too.

Our climate is changing _now_ - it’s not just an issue for future generations or people far away – it is affecting everyone, everywhere, right now. These stripes use local climate data – specific to Exminster. Our stripes are a unique fingerprint!

A great talking point for awareness in the local community

As always urgent, deep and rapid emissions reductions _NOW_ reduce all the above risks and challenges

Also important to note the discussion is not binary – there are lots of different aspects of o/s. Particularly the magnitude and duration are really important considerations. It’s not just o/s or not. Higher and longer overshoot increase challenges in both impacts and recovery

IPCC SR15 mainly explored the former – due to it’s focus on 1.5 then different ways to get to 1.5 matter and o/s leads to greater impacts. AR6 WGIII also consider higher categories – e.g. C3/4 vs C2 class. It is always beneficial to come down again if you do exceed a level
