To below the 1. 5 degrees celsius . When we produced our landmark report five years ago, we said it was possible within the Laws Of Physics and chemistry, and the biggest obstacle to keeping within the limit was actually on the social and institutional side. We, i think, now need to move to the position, we have to look very hard at whether we will be pushing against technical and economic barriers in terms of limiting warming to1. 5. It is not absolutely impossible, but the chances are diminishing. And, really, its hanging on a thread at the moment. Right. Isnt that a tactful way of saying, im not in a position to be conclusive about this, but as far as im concerned, as an experienced scientist, it is simply not going to happen . The average Temperature Rise is going to go appreciably beyond 1. 5. Yeah, ipcc s job is to assess the literature that we have out there already, and we havent got quite the literature yet to absolutely write off the 1. 5 limit. And we need to be very careful

Thanks for the invite. It is great to have you in this studio. Lets start with a blunt first question. Is it time for the International Community to junk this idea that theres any possibility of limiting worldwide Temperature Rise to below the 1. 5 degrees celsius .

a recent poll of international climate scientists pointed to growing despair. are we humans bungling our chance to avert disaster? jim skea, welcome to hardtalk. thanks for the invite. it is great to have you in this studio. let s start with a blunt first question. is it time for the international community to junk this idea that there s any possibility of limiting worldwide temperature rise to below the 1.5 degrees celsius? when we produced our landmark report five years ago, we said it was possible within the laws of physics and chemistry, and the biggest obstacle to keeping within the limit was actually on the social and institutional side. we, i think, now need to move to the position, we have to look very hard at whether we will be pushing against technical and economic barriers in terms of limiting warming to1.5. it is not absolutely impossible, but the chances are diminishing. and, really, it s hanging on a thread at the moment. right. isn t that a tactful way of sayin
The Prime Minister insisted that they appear separately. And you can see some of her logic. She used the opportunity to kick lumps out of her opponents when they couldnt retort. You have diane abbott who cant add up sitting around the cabinet table. John mcdonnell, who is a marxist. Nicola sturgeon, who wants to break our country up. And tim farron who wants to bring us back into the eu, the direct opposite of what the british people want. The audience though gave her a pretty rough time. Refusing to answer peoples questions, refusing to talk toJeremy Corbyn. A Prime Minister and potential future Prime Minister doesnt understand the difference between a Learning Disability and the Mental Health condition. I had called an election. For the good of the Conservative Party, you have called a General Election for the good of the Conservative Party and it will backfire on you. Including on brexit. Do you really think you have any real leverage with brussels . An area where she has a rather w
