“What we are seeing are things like extreme heat waves, levels of temperature change in Antarctica that we had never seen and we did not expect to see. We are seeing that the ice is removed at a pace that we would never have guessed 20 years ago and, suddenly, we are seeing this in front of our eyes. We need to find out. We have to solve what it means for the rest of the plan. The changes in the ocean.

Climate scientists gathered at the Royal Society in London to listen to how the collapse of ice shelves, record ice and powerful storms develop faster than expected and could cause effects throughout the world.
