On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
This lecture explains why net anthropogenic CO2 emissions need to be reduced to zero to halt the rise in global temperature, putting paid to the once-popular idea of “contraction and convergence” to a “sustainable” per-capita CO2 emission rate. We’ll also discuss how other climate pollutants behave, including methane, nitrous oxide and aerosols, and why the concept of “CO2-equivalent emissions”, although deeply embedded in almost all climate policy discussions, can be misleading.
