A central topic will be teleconnections in the climate system, i.e. how a change in climate in one part of the globe (e.g. temperatures in the Atlantic or shrinking sea ice cover in the Arctic) can influence climate on other parts of the globe (e.g. Eurasian winter temperatures), and how we can use this information to improve regional climate prediction and therefore regional climate service.

Nonetheless, the chart does a good job of demonstrating just how hard it is to get people to accept immediate sacrifices in order to protect long - term climate stability: they are not fully exposed to the risks, and they have ample opportunity to fob them off on others, so as to avoid making changes in how they live their own lives and how the political and economic systems in their states operate.

That is the nature of negative feedback systems, of which our climate is a prime example (note that «negative feedback» includes the Planck Response — in essence, the Stefan - Boltzmann response — and does not contradict the concept of «positive feedbacks» as amplifiers of CO2 - mediated temperature change, where «positive» is used to denote feedbacks other than the Planck Response).
