the world meteorological organization says temperatures on the antarctic peninsula have risen by almostr the past 50 years. meanwhile, in the arctic, more worrying data in 2020, with the second lowest extent of summer sea ice since satellite monitoring began over 40 years ago. followed by a record late start to its annual refreeze. but if news of heat records sounds familiar, they came in a year that because of covid lockdowns, we saw a record drop in carbon emissions — the very thing which is blamed for playing a major role in causing temperatures to warm. we can talk now to dr emily shugborough, cambridge university's chief climate scientist. emily, we spoke on this programme at the end of 2019, actually, about carbon emissions, and it seemed impossible that we would get a drop, but that is what has happened in 2020, but put it into context for me, how significant and sustainable is that? well, it is probably no surprise that as a consequence of the global lockdowns that we have seen around the world, emissions are likely to be somewhat lower this year, may be about 7% lower. but that
