Climate scientist, professor of Physics of the Oceans in Potsdam. Dad. Opinions my own.
Born at 317 ppm CO2.

Stefan Rahmstorf is a German oceanographer and climatologist. Since 2000, he has been a Professor of Physics of the Oceans at Potsdam University. He studied physical oceanography at Bangor University and received his Ph.D. in oceanography from Victoria University of Wellington (1990). His work focuses on the role of ocean currents in climate change. He was one of the lead authors of the IPCC Fourth Assessment Report. .. more

I do.

Personally I am more worried about the human suffering it will bring. But those who have the power to speed up climate policies are perhaps more impressed by lost dollars.

Wir werden sehr bald die 1,5-Grad-Grenze durchbrechen, auf die sich alle Staaten geeinigt haben. Aber es gibt Hoffnung: weltweit wachsen die Lösungen wie Erneuerbare, Elektromobilität und Wärmepumpen exponentiell!
Es ist ein Wettlauf gegen die Zeit, die #Erderhitzung zu stoppen.
