In this brief presentation Professor Rahmstorf explains the most important facts and data on global warming, including from the 2021 IPCC report. Rahmstorf is a leading climate scientist and winner of the American Geophysical Union’s Climate Communication Prize.
The study “Increasing heat and rainfall extremes now far outside the historical climate” found that the climate warmed 0.25C during the last decade, resulting in increased rainfall and heat extremes. Abstract Over the last decade, the world warmed by 0.25 °C, in-line with the roughly linear trend since the 1970s. Here we present updated analyses showing…
Keynote speech at gridXdays – the conference on energy, sustainability and technology presented by gridX – from climate scientist and communicator, Stefan Rahmstorf. At the current rate we will pass 1.5 °C warming before 2040, but with decisive action we can still prevent this.
Climate scientist Stefan Rahmstorf speaks on climate tipping points.

Past sea level rise is not captured by models yet, in particular the response from ice sheets in Antarctica due to global warming. Projections therefore can often be regarded to potentially underestimate future sea level rise. For example, Overpeck et al. (2006), and Hansen (2007) suggest possibilities which could eventually lead to a nonlinear response…
Peter Sinclair interviewed Dr Rahmstorf in Reykjavik, 2013.
The Climate State staff interviewed Stefan Rahmstorf, Head of Earth System Analysis, at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK). Robert Bristow: To get CO2 emissions under control – do you think some form of geoengineering (i.e CO2 scrubbing) will be desirable? Stefan Rahmstorf: The term geoengineering or climate engineering, encompasses a wide range…
