Wake Up, Freak Out – then Get a Grip

It’s much, much later than you think
Tipping point ahead.

This really isn’t about polar bears any more. At this very moment, the fate of civilization itself hangs in the balance.

It turns out that the way we have been calculating the future impacts of climate change up to now has been missing a really important piece of the picture. It seems we are now dangerously close to the tipping point in the world's climate system; this is the point of no return, after which truly catastrophic changes become inevitable.

it's called Climate change for a reason. Global warming was a rather young and naive term. It's said Climate Destabalization would be a better term.

This video is great. It needs more views!

@david222444 your perspective on science is fascinating. In particular it is intriguingly at odds with the conception of science one will read about in almost any account of science anywhere, which make it all about evidence and largely dismisses the hope for 'proof', instead favouring theories which are backed up by evidence and not disproven.

As for CO2, there are VERY STRONG reasons to expect it to affect the climate, given its well-established physical properties - very odd if it doesn't.

[david222444]

@0olong Concensus and evidence means nothing in Science. Only proof matters and there is no scientific proof that co2 has any effect on the climate. Evidence points to past warming caused by the grand solar maximum which caused the liberation of co2 from the Oceans.

@david222444 yeah, it's comical how almost all climate scientists fall for scientific theories. Those crazy scientists! Telling us we should believe things just because all the available evidence points towards them being true, even though they can't PROVE anything!

[david222444]

@0olong Yes it is hilarius that dopes like you can so easily be led up the garden path by such a stupid theory which still cannot be proven and never will be proven. Go look up the calvin cycle you clown.

@david222444 you accuse this of being simplistic and then follow that up with 'Atmospheric co2 enrichment benefits all life on our cooling Planet'? That's pretty funny.

[david222444]

This is so simplistic as to be laughable. The world's climate cannot be compared to a chemical titration's end point. Do not be taken in by this propaganda. Atmospheric co2 enrichment benefits all life on our cooling Planet. Remember dillution and negative feedbacks not mentioned in this one sided scaremongering video.

used this in a presentation on world issues, to secondary school pupils... I'm proud to say it moved them, and that is credit to the amazing-ness of this video.

@rubbleofempires it's been viewed another 214,000 times on Vimeo - not counting the separate views for the many different translations! It's not doing too badly. But yes, it still deserves a much wider audience...

A really wonderful example of climate change communication. Well done Leo!

"this (is) creepy and disturbing"

I think that is the point
