“Climate change affects not only the temperature, but the temperature changes every size in our climate system,” Thomas Stocker was convinced of in 2008 at the conference “Challange Climate Change” of the Academia Engelberg Foundation. Here you find more about this topic.

The former member of the IPCC was co-creating the current Swiss Climate Report “Brennpunkt Kilma SChweiz “. Headed by ProClim, the Forum for Climate and Global Change Akademieder Natural Sciences Switzerland (SCNAT), a network of 115 climate scientists and experts developed some statements based on scientific procedures.

One of the statements explains, that the Swiss climate warms up twice as fast as the global average. If you want to learn more about the climate report, follow the link to the website of ProClim. http://www.naturwissenschaften.ch/organisations/proclim/activities/brennpunkt
