Summary/Abstract: There have always been changes in the Earth’s climate, but industrialisation and the human factor have accelerated the pace of change enormously. At present, warming is happening at a rapid pace, and we cannot accurately assess the consequences. In climate research, there is now a large amount of data, climate information, and several physical-mathematical models that can be used to elaborate future climate scenarios. Climate scientist Blanka Bartók talked about what is causing the current rapid change and what we can expect in the coming decades, how our climate might change, how reliable climate models are, and how we can adapt to these changes. The researcher says we need to take a sober approach. We are not on the brink of a climatic catastrophe, but we are in real trouble with our environment.
