On a regional scale, global warming exceeded the Paris agreement’s upper climate target in the northern hemisphere.
The climate ‘flickered’ between wet and dry, before finally drying out for good.
These are some of the most complex and important pieces of software ever written.
The result shows climate change education in schools must become more holistic and empowering, and children should be allowed to shape the future they will inherit.
