Show Notes

The Royal Meteorological Society just released the 9th climate science briefing paper on “Global Carbon Budgets”. Caroline Coch sits down with Prof Pierre Friedlingstein, Chair in Mathematical Modelling of the Climate System at the University of Exeter to discuss the concept of carbon budgets, how they are calculated and what uncertainties exist. Read the paper in full here.

The Society's Climate Science Communication Group have produced a series of Climate Science Briefing Papers with the aim to clearly and concisely explain important aspects of climate science. The briefing papers can be found here: https://www.rmets.org/publications/briefing-papers

Our programmes are broad and diverse, with many activities accessible not only to members but also to the general public and the wider meteorological and climate community. For more information on our charitable activities and events visit www.rmets.org.
