The world climate meeting in Copenhagen in December may be our last chance to avoid this scenario, and find some soft landing. Even so, scientists, who once talked about sea level rise in centimetres, are now predicting a 4 to 7 metre sea rise this century, in the lifetimes of our children and grandchildren. Even this scenario - a 7-metre sea rise - will swamp Shanghai, Bangkok, Miami, Dacca, Trieste, Venice, Mombassa, Lincolnshire, Brugge, Rotterdam, Amsterdam, Bremen, Gdansk and thousands of other coastal towns.

Scientists are baffled by what they’re seeing on the Sun’s surface – nothing at all. And this lack of activity could have a major impact on global warming. David Whitehouse investigates

Could the Sun play a greater role in recent climate change than has been believed? Climatologists had dismissed the idea and some solar scientists have been reticent about it because of its connections with those who those who deny climate change. But now the speculation has grown louder because of what is happening to our Sun. No living scientist has seen it behave this way. There are no sunspots.

There is recent research suggesting that solar variability can have a very strong regional climatic influence on Earth – in fact stronger than any man-made greenhouse effect across vast swathes of the Earth. And that could rewrite the rules.
