Matthew Turnbull, Head of the School of Biological Sciences, recently shared this with the whole College of Science.
Kia ora koutou,
A viewpoint article, “World Scientists’ Warning of a Climate Emergency”, was recently published in BioScience.
https://doi.org/10.1093/biosci/biz088
The short article includes key indicators of climate change and key steps for humanity to take to lessen the effects. More than 11,000 scientists are signatories on the paper.
Thanks Nick – sombre reading that I’ve pushed out on Twitter too. I see there are 20 scientists from UC who are signatories.
