Royal Society Meetings report

 

In October 2011, a Royal Society Discussion meeting, organised by project members Dan Lunt and Richard Pancost, explored the relationship between warm climates of the past, and future climates.  Gavin Foster and Paul Pearson, also members of the project, gave keynote addresses.

The meeting was very well attended, and included some lively questioning and debate.  The Discussion meeting was followed by a Royal Society Kavli meeting, which brought together the international community involved in reconstructing past CO2.  As a result of this meeting, and partly funded by the Descent into the Icehouse project, Lunt, Foster and Pancost will be writing a Review paper aimed at reconciling past CO2 and temperature estimates with results from climate models.
