What does Earth look like beyond 1.5 degrees
Is today's warming extreme, or has Earth seen more extreme temperatures in the past? How do scientists figure out what the temperature was like before thermometers (and humans!) existed? What can we learn from past climates about future warming pathways?
2024 has seen many temperature records. But Earth's climate has a very long history and witnessed some serious heatwaves (and ice ages, for that matter!) before. By digging into the past, we can see that today's warming trend is the latest chapter in a long and dramatic story. Using modern analytical techniques geologists are able to accurately reconstruct the past temperatures and put the current warming into a new perspective. In this talk Martin Ziegler will walk us through the Earth's climate history. We explore the causes of past climate trends and aberrations and discuss what this means for the warming in the pipeline.
This edition of Science & Cocktails is part of the Warming Up Festival.
This event is an initiative by the Dutch Institute for Emergent Phenomena (DIEP) with the support of the University of Amsterdam. Science & Cocktails Amsterdam is presented in cooperation with Paradiso Amsterdam.
