<span style="font-size:12.0pt">1. Climate scientists have used forcing scenarios to predict general change. Response theory offers a more sensitive way yielding more detail about</span>

<span style="font-size:12.0pt">2. Organizations representing about half of the global health force have signed an open letter to world leaders pleading for a green recovery from the coronavirus crisis. Specifically, fossil fuel subsidies could be better employed,
and a recovery which addresses the climate crisis would have great public health gains.

<span style="font-size:12.0pt">3. By mid-century the rate of change in deep ocean habitats could be seven times faster than it currently is, even with significant cuts in global greenhouse gas emissions. “Our results suggest that deep sea biodiversity is likely
to be at greater risk because they are adapted to much more stable thermal environments.” Species which depend on one another will be dislocated, leading to population crashes.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">
