SUMMARY:Queen's Lecture 2019
DESCRIPTION:Professorin Corinne Le Quéré: „The interactions between cli
 mate change and the carbon cycle and the future we choose“ This year wil
 l be remembered as the year the world woke up to the climate crisis – an
 d it’s about time! Climate change is unfolding as predicted by scientist
 s repeatedly and consistently over the past thirty years at least. We can 
 now see the changes with our own eyes\, and the impacts look a lot scarier
  in reality than on paper. But just how did we get here\, and what comes n
 ext? This lecture will present the scientific basis for climate change thr
 ough the lenses of the natural carbon cycle. It will show how emissions of
  carbon dioxide (CO2) from human activities have caused the planet to warm
 \, and have set in motion a train of changes in the natural carbon cycle. 
 Every year\, the land and ocean natural carbon reservoirs\, the so-called 
 carbon ‘sinks’\, absorb 55% on average of the CO2 emissions we release
  in the atmosphere from burning fossil fuels\, deforestation\, and other a
 ctivities. The carbon sinks slow down the rate of climate change\, but the
 y themselves respond to a changing climate\, by leaving more CO2 in the at
 mosphere. The latest evidence on trends in emissions and carbon sinks of t
 he past 60 years\, reveals the limits of our understanding and the challen
 ges we face to develop a planetary monitoring system that can keep track o
 f the rapidly changing carbon cycle. The lecture will incorporate in the s
 cience of climate change and how it interacts with the carbon cycle\, with
  the evolving relationship between scientists and society during the past 
 decades. It will detail the growing momentum of global political leadershi
 p emerging to tackle climate change\, the challenges that we face\, and of
 fer reflections on ways to bring about the future we choose. Corinne Le Qu
 éré is Royal Society Research Professor of Climate Change Science at the
  University of East Anglia. She is a member of the UK Committee on Climate
  Change and in France chair of the related Le Haut Conseil pour le climat.
