DESCRIPTION:This talk draws on findings from applying novel empirical appr
 oaches to understanding climate change and its impacts in the past\, prese
 nt\, and future.The talk will highlight the impact major ‘natural’ cha
 nges in global climate have had on the five largest mass extinctions over 
 the last 500 million years\, and will explain modelling of recent CO2 emis
 sions and concentrations which confirm the impact of human activity\, with
  a focus on UK CO2 emissions over the period 1860 - 2016. The role of majo
 r policy interventions which have reduced the UK’s per capita annual emi
 ssions below any level since 1860 when the UK was the 'workshop of the wor
 ld’ will be investigated. \n\nProfessor Sir David Hendry\, INET Oxford a
 nd Climate Econometrics\, will illustrate how to investigate the costs of 
 ‘mis-forecasting’ extreme climate events by studying the economic impa
 cts of inaccuracies in hurricane forecasts and will discuss empirical evid
 ence on local climate impacts of emissions and what influences climate-cha
 nge scepticism. Future climate is illustrated by projecting the impacts of
  1.5°C versus 2°C on temperature and sea-level rise.\n\nThe talk will be
  followed by a drinks reception\, all welcome.\nSpeakers:\nProf Sir David 
 Hendry (INET Oxford\, University of Oxford)
