Climate Emergency Forum discusses the critical issue of climate tipping points, emphasizing their interconnected nature and potential to cause irreversible changes in the Earth's climate system.
This video was recorded on August 13th, 2024, and published on August 21st, 2024, and represents the opinions of the discussion participants.
The discussion highlights that tipping points are not isolated events but are linked elements that, once crossed, can lead to cascading effects impacting both ecological systems and human societies. Examples include the melting of ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica, the destabilization of the Amazon rainforest, and changes in the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation. The urgency of limiting global warming to prevent these tipping points is underscored, with recent studies suggesting that even a 1.5°C rise in global temperatures could trigger multiple tipping points.
The dialogue also references various reports and studies that have explored the science behind these tipping points, including a report by the University of Exeter for COP28. This report assessed both negative and positive tipping points in the Earth's system and society, examining the cryosphere, biosphere, and oceanic and atmospheric circulation. The discussion highlights the importance of understanding these interactions and potential cascades to effectively manage the risks associated with climate change.
Concern is expressed over the rapid changes observed in the Arctic, including the significant reduction in sea ice and the emission of methane from thawing permafrost. These changes are seen as indicators of approaching tipping points, with the Arctic being a major source of amplifying feedbacks. The dialogue stresses the need for urgent action and policy changes to address these challenges, emphasizing that maintaining current levels of heating could commit multiple parts of the climate system to pass tipping points.
Finally, the discussion touches on the concept of "flickering," where parts of the climate system exhibit unstable behavior near tipping points, and the role of human agency in addressing climate change. The speakers advocate for increased adoption of renewable energy technologies and emphasize the importance of public perception and communication in fostering understanding and action on climate issues.

I totally agree with what so many people have commented on. We have already passed tipping points. The ship has left the port. We had three events all considered thousand year storms in South Florida in a period of 14 months.. I have never seen anything like it and I have lived here 24 years which of course is a small period of time in the grand scheme of things. However, it is now our rainy season and we’re not getting rain. We have had 37 days which is the record of heat alerts and to have that in South Florida is not easy to do . Everything is messed up. The climate will continue to destabilize. I don’t talk about this to anyone because people look at me like I’m from Jupiter. As far as I see things we’re done.

With those extreme high SSTs still persisting even after El Nino has faded could just mean weve crossed a major tipping point in the ocean system and Ocean Heat is now constantly released into the atmosphere (at an ever increasing rate).

Thank you for providing up to date information on the situation and presenting reality as it is. Several interacting control loops makes an extremely complex system making it almost, if not impossible to predict how stability will be reached.

Humans have overstepped long-term population sustainability locally as many environmental degradation impacts have indicated for at least 30k years as we began killing off megafauna. The rate has obviously sky-rocketed, in the last 50 years as locally has become globally. The biggest fallacy is that we could have done anything differently. Those who take the most the quickest were always going to get ahead and drive this forward. Nothing will change. Our future is already written. Maybe we are in the position to witness the "high point" climax of humanity's story, or perhaps the end?

The solution is simple imo: stop putting the economy first!

The reckoning in terms of tipping points already committed to is already here, so if we don't put the brakes on immediately then we are just making the outcomes worse. How many millions or billions have to die before we face the obvious? BTW I don't think we should include technological solutions in the answer, at least not CCS, because they would be too little too late and are being used as a sticking plaster for doing nothing to reduce emissions.

Love the canoe analogy. Yes, they are unstable but they are also quite efficient. Put a nervous person in a canoe and the world will fall in upon them when they panic and over adjust. They will end up in the water, if they continue to panic they are done for unless they are wearing a life jacket. Even then if they panic they will likely die. Is this a tipping point? People allow themselves to give up and become panicked to the point of depression, anxiety, unstable acts or just give up hope? There are a lot of people out here ready and willing to move humanity and the planet forward. Perhaps wallowing in the fear is unhealthy? Yes, there are many issues but how does this help?

With our current emissions trend & (irreversible?) self-reinforcing feedbacks, we are not gonna prevent the tipping points ahead. So we just don't know the timescale for when one or other of their sudden dramatic effects will kick in.. Clearly in our current scenario, taking full account of risk management & precautionary principles, geoengineering options should rapidly be properly scientifically tried & tested, because we may be forced to implement their use (whether we like it or not) if pitched into a runaway greenhouse-hothouse effect.

@hascleavrahmbenyoseph7186 15 дней назад

As far as I can tell, almost everyone understands that we're at a critical point with man-made climate change, and yet almost nobody is addressing a rational way to stop the climate change problem. Our behavior is the problem, and yet most of the solutions that people talk about are really just a continuation of our wrongful treatment of our environment. Creating two or three new energy infrastructures will only double, or maybe triple, the amount of damage we are doing to our environment... But there is one way. We can correct our behavior by first correcting our sick behavior model. Our behavior model is our profit model, 'profit equals income minus expenses'. In order to maximize profit businesses must minimize expenses by ignoring the damages that they cause to the environment, and they must fire as many employees as they can to keep labor expenses as low as possible. I think that the only way to rescue our environment is by creating a new and healthier behavior model. I recommend this new profit model: Profit equals protecting and enriching the environment, and sharing the sustenance that it provides for all of us. The new profit model requires us to create millions of new jobs that will come under the heading "Caretakers of the Environment". Caretakers will have many specialized categories: 1. Collecting pollution that is already in the environment 2. Collecting pollution before it gets into the environment 3. Dealing with all of the waste in such ways that are good for the environment, and or good for the production of products. 4. Economically incentivizing families with two or fewer children 5. Designing new ways of producing products so that those products last for a long time and don't have to be replaced every two years. There will be many more types of Caretaker jobs. Every company and government will have Caretaker jobs, and everybody will be schooled, from elementary school through university about how to be caretakers of the environment. Profit = protecting and enriching the environment, and sharing the sustenance that it Provides for all of us. This profit model works because it changes the meaning of expenses. It says our profit is the environment and our only major expense is ignoring our obligation to protect and enrich our environment. It may already be too late to save our environment, but it is never too late to try.

@@christinechandler1662 You may already be aware, but the human population could go to 0 tomorrow and the planet would still heat up for at least 1000 years due to all the CO2 already present in the atmosphere. On the flip side, I believe it's technically possible to manage our current population even at our current numbers, if (and yes, it's a big if) we used sustainable energy sources to power it (and made other sacrifices, like diet, travel, and other reductions in our massively consumptive lifestyles). As a result, many scientists (to my awareness) are aiming for the latter. I know it's not likely to happen of course. At the same time, it's hard to imagine any successful way to enforce global population limits. That said, demographics in major countries are seeing a decline in population today (some in horrifyingly advanced stages actually; check wikipedia for fertility rates by country). Turns out if you want to limit the world's population, just jam everyone into cities, no further policy required :)

@dianewallace6064 22 дня назад

That said. I have seen Paul's maps of Emissions from Copernicus mapping and it does show methane emissions from many wetland locations below a certain altitude. I'm not sure if those methane emissions are at the altitude where the climate scientists are studying the Carbon isotope ratios.

@ClimateEmergencyForum 22 дня назад

The comment raises an interesting point about the differentiation of methane emissions from various sources using carbon isotope ratios. Methane emissions from wetlands and other natural sources can indeed have different isotopic signatures compared to those from anthropogenic sources like fossil fuels. The Copernicus Sentinel satellites, particularly Sentinel-5P, have been instrumental in mapping methane emissions globally. These satellites can detect methane emissions from various sources, including wetlands, but the spatial resolution might not always allow for precise attribution of emissions to specific sources or altitudes[1][3][7]. In terms of altitude, the emissions detected by satellites are generally from the lower atmosphere, where they are most concentrated. The isotopic analysis of methane, which can help distinguish between different sources, typically requires ground-based or airborne measurements, as these provide the precision needed to analyze the isotopic composition. Therefore, while satellite data is excellent for identifying and quantifying methane emissions on a broad scale, detailed isotopic studies are usually conducted with supplementary ground-based data. Discussing the carbon isotope ratios in the context of methane emissions could indeed provide valuable insights into the sources and dynamics of these emissions, helping to better understand the contributions of natural versus anthropogenic sources to global methane levels.

Thanks for keeping us informed about what is happening to the planet. I would guess, given the exponential acceleration of changes in the planet's climate system towards human inhabitability, it it is becoming more likely that humans will go completely extinct, along with most of the complex life on earth, for a long period of time, geologically speaking. Nate Hagens show , referenced below, is very good, but it has a substantial focus on how humans (who, in his scenario) would survive, would create a society that does not repeat our mistakes. I think he needs to pivot towards preventing extinction. If there are no humans , there will be no human society. An ecologist he interviewed a couple of weeks ago, Corey Bradshaw, commented that sentience, as we think of it, may be an evolutionary "one off"" - if this incredibly diverse and complex biosphere is reduced to slime mold, that when the climate finally drifts back to being habitable for complex life, sentience may never evolve again as life becomes more complex in new and different forms. That would be a truly profound loss, if millions of years from now, at the tenth extinction, there was no consciousness, no awareness, no feeling, no affection. We are a wonderful terrible species.

What are you guys talking about? We're already way past hitting those tipping points (I.e. self-reinforcing feedback loops). Especially when that Canadian mega-fire produced more CO2 than three years of all human activity in Canada. Or the Paradise fire in California, that put as much CO2 into the atmosphere as was saved from 12 years of CA's emissions laws 🤣🤣🤣(Source: David Wallace Wells). I went with Dr. Guy McPherson's more radical secondary research, years ago. The only thing he's wrong about is his conclusion that human beings are going extinct within a decade. Western Civilization maybe, but not humans. WWII served as a perfect example that human beings are like cockroaches: We can endure a lot of hardship, and still survive (The Holocaust, Allied POW's held by the Japanese, etc.).

@StressRUs 17 дней назад

The biggest and most important climate "tipping point", which is our global heat transfer system (aka the hydrological system) has become overwhelmed by the heat energy equivalent of 20 Hiroshima yield nuclear bomb blasts per second (Eliot Jacobson), where each one releases 63 trillion BTUs. We can see the overwhelm in the 1.2 trillion tons of melting global ice (C3S) annually, 3.3 billion tons per day, the 321 million cubic miles of oceans heating to 70 degF in midlatitudes, the 1 trillion tons of water vapor evaporating from the surface daily, and the consequencial increasing precipitation/flooding obvious in the news daily. So, we are way, way past this existential tipping point for global cooling.

Thank you for this video, even if it reminds me of the probably incorrect saying "Nero fiddles while Rome burned." The most positive take I got from this is that Earth will continue, of course, and eventually stabilize itself in a much different form. The concern of the possible next president of the USA is in the near-term effects on coastal real estate, while the president of Russia doubtless salivates over short-term agricultural possibilities. The power structures behind these two individuals seem to guarantee the inevitability of your predictions, and media will soothe us as we pass on, with I suppose a final burst of media outrage.

Planet Earth is plunging into an Ice Age.

@ClimateEmergencyForum 20 дней назад

The comment suggesting that "Planet Earth is plunging into an Ice Age" can be addressed and corrected with current scientific understanding: ### Current Climate Context 1. **Interglacial Period**: Earth is currently in an interglacial period known as the Holocene, which began about 11,500 years ago. Interglacial periods are characterized by warmer global temperatures and the retreat of ice sheets[2][3]. 2. **Glacial-Interglacial Cycles**: These cycles are driven by variations in Earth's orbit and axial tilt, known as Milankovitch cycles. While Earth is technically in an ice age (the Quaternary glaciation), we are in a warm phase within this ice age[4][6]. 3. **Impact of Greenhouse Gases**: The accumulation of anthropogenic greenhouse gases, such as CO2, is delaying the onset of the next glacial period. Current scientific consensus suggests that human-induced climate change is leading to global warming, not cooling[3][6]. ### Misconceptions About an Imminent Ice Age 1. **No Immediate Ice Age**: There is no scientific evidence to support the claim that Earth is on the brink of entering a new glacial period imminently. In fact, increased greenhouse gas concentrations are expected to prevent the onset of a new ice age for tens of thousands of years[1][6]. 2. **Abrupt Climate Change**: While Earth's climate has experienced rapid changes in the past, such as the Younger Dryas event, these are not indicative of an impending ice age. Current climate models project continued warming due to human activities[7]. ### Conclusion The idea that Earth is plunging into an ice age contradicts the current understanding of climate science. Instead, the focus is on addressing the impacts of global warming and mitigating greenhouse gas emissions to stabilize the climate. It is important to rely on scientific evidence and consensus when discussing climate trends and predictions.

I read something interesting last month.

It’s weird how I had not even thought about that: that we will STILL need to eliminate human caused carbon emissions, OR ELSE! I guess most ppl might be thinking the way I was, that it’s gonna tip, or not, so since we know now that it indeed IS going to tip, maybe there’s nothing that can be done, but that is not true. For the people and animals who may survive, we still need to get emissions to zero STAT! I feel dumb, but yeah, that surprised me that it had now dawned on me. Life is seemingly about survival tho and most of us work for corporations, and the corps are not doing the right things, so by working for them we’re supporting them, and can’t stop or we can’t pay our rent.

Sure, methane release is a huge problem increasing the Greenhouse effect, but water vapor is the primary GHG and amplifies the effect of the other GHGs, including CO2, methane, etc. 950 gts of CO2 are in the atmosphere already, with 40 more gts accumulating annually, but the amount of water vapor at any one time is 10-14 trillion tons, so about 14 times more water vapor by weight.

But I went to the Netherlands and heard just as much annoying mowing machines on my walk as I do in the u.s. grass and shrubs did exist before these machines. There are ways to cut grass and shrubs with manpower which increases employment for all the idle young men too. Plus try native plants instead of grass. Plus coastal cities should outlaw docking and fueling of superyachts. They use the diesel equivalent of 500 million carseach year. Superyacht owners will just buy off the local politicians if we try to change things though.

The million pound question I have guys. I am investing absolutely everything into a deep adaptation plan. but working out if hothouse earth or local amoc collapse induced Ice age is my fate in the south west of the UK? The Amoc is tipping. the real questions are, can the run away hothouse prevent the ice cap growth during a collapsed amoc, or im I certain to face the devastating reduction in thermal input from the amoc collapse? My climate resillience plans are a form of judo that uses the enemies strength against itself. in this instance that means that solar thermal is my energy backbone... but if AMOC Collapse happens and causes a mini ice age in the UK, my plans will probably freeze to death :(

@ClimateEmergencyForum 22 дня назад

Your question touches on a complex and critical issue involving the potential impacts of climate change on the South West of the UK, particularly concerning the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) and the concept of "Hothouse Earth." ### AMOC Collapse vs. Hothouse Earth 1. **AMOC Collapse**: The AMOC plays a crucial role in regulating the climate of Europe, including the UK. A collapse could lead to significant cooling in the region, akin to a mini ice age, with potential temperature drops of 4°C to 10°C in Europe[2][5]. This would severely impact agriculture and could lead to harsher winters[2]. 2. **Hothouse Earth**: This scenario involves runaway global warming, potentially leading to a long-term stabilization of global temperatures 4-5°C higher than pre-industrial levels[8]. Such warming could prevent the growth of ice caps even if the AMOC collapses, but the regional effects in the UK could still include cooling due to the loss of warm water currents[2]. ### Balancing Risks Given the uncertainty and potential for both scenarios to unfold, your resilience plan should consider both possibilities: - **Diversification of Energy Sources**: While solar thermal is a good backbone, consider incorporating other renewable energy sources like wind or biomass that might be less affected by temperature fluctuations. - **Insulation and Heating**: Enhance the insulation of your property and explore alternative heating methods that do not rely solely on solar thermal energy. - **Agricultural Adaptation**: If you are involved in agriculture, consider crops that are resilient to both colder and warmer conditions, and explore water management strategies to cope with potential changes in precipitation. - **Community Engagement**: Work with local communities to develop shared resources and strategies for resilience, such as community gardens or shared renewable energy projects. ### Conclusion While it's challenging to predict which scenario might dominate, preparing for both outcomes by diversifying your strategies and building community resilience can provide a more robust defense against the uncertain future. The scientific community continues to study these phenomena, and staying informed will be crucial as new data and models emerge.

How is widespread EV adoption a good thing? The scaling up of heavy metals mining and the toxic products (and byproducts) associated with battery manufacturing will hardly help with pollution. Then, what about the disposal of these materials after their end of service life? Can we build enough nuclear power facilities fast enough to replace the fossil fuel power generating capacity needed to satisfy the increasing need for electricity to charge the batteries? We know now natural gas as a "bridge fuel" is BS.

@ClimateEmergencyForum 21 день назад

The comment raises valid concerns about the environmental and logistical challenges associated with widespread electric vehicle (EV) adoption. Here are some points to consider: ### Environmental Impact of EV Batteries 1. **Mining and Manufacturing**: It's true that the production of EV batteries involves mining for metals like lithium, cobalt, and nickel, which can have significant environmental and social impacts. However, advancements in battery technology and recycling are helping to mitigate these effects. For example, efforts are being made to reduce reliance on cobalt and improve the efficiency of mining operations[1][2]. 2. **Battery Recycling and Reuse**: The recycling of EV batteries is a growing industry, with technologies being developed to recover valuable materials and reduce waste. This not only addresses disposal concerns but also reduces the need for new mining[1][2]. Additionally, "second life" applications for used batteries, such as energy storage systems, extend their usefulness beyond their initial vehicle service[4]. ### Energy Infrastructure and Transition 1. **Electricity Demand**: The transition to EVs will indeed increase electricity demand. However, this can be managed through a combination of renewable energy sources, grid improvements, and energy storage solutions. The integration of renewable energy with flexible nuclear power and other technologies can help meet the increased demand sustainably[6][7]. 2. **Nuclear Power**: Building new nuclear facilities is a long-term process, but they can provide a stable and low-carbon energy source to complement renewables. Innovations in nuclear technology, such as small modular reactors, offer potential for more flexible and quicker deployment[7]. 3. **Natural Gas as a Bridge Fuel**: The criticism of natural gas as a "bridge fuel" highlights the need for a more direct transition to renewable energy sources. While natural gas has lower emissions than coal, it still contributes to greenhouse gas emissions and should be phased out in favor of cleaner alternatives. Note that while natural gas does produce less CO2 when burned compared to coal, the climate benefits are undermined by methane leaks throughout its lifecycle. To truly capitalize on the potential environmental benefits of natural gas, it is crucial to minimize methane emissions through improved infrastructure, technology, and regulatory measures. This would help ensure that natural gas can serve as a more sustainable energy source during the transition to renewable energy. ### Conclusion While there are challenges associated with EV adoption, including environmental impacts and energy infrastructure needs, these are being actively addressed through technological innovation and policy measures. The shift to EVs is part of a broader transition to a more sustainable and low-carbon future, with ongoing efforts to improve the lifecycle management of batteries and integrate renewable energy sources into the grid.

Here are some additional policies and actions that can be pursued: ### Government Policies 1. **Renewable Energy Incentives**: Governments can provide subsidies and tax incentives for solar, wind, and other renewable energy sources to encourage their adoption. 2. **Carbon Pricing**: Implement carbon taxes or cap-and-trade systems to incentivize reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. 3. **Public Transportation Investment**: Expand and improve public transportation infrastructure to reduce reliance on personal vehicles. 4. **Building Efficiency Standards**: Enforce stricter energy efficiency standards for new buildings and provide incentives for retrofitting existing structures. 5. **Support for Sustainable Agriculture**: Promote sustainable farming practices and support local food systems to reduce emissions from agriculture. 6. **Waste Management Policies**: Implement policies to reduce waste, increase recycling rates, and promote composting. ### Individual Actions 1. **Energy Efficiency**: Use energy-efficient appliances and LED lighting, and consider smart thermostats to optimize energy use. 2. **Sustainable Transportation**: Walk, cycle, carpool, or use public transportation whenever possible. Consider electric or hybrid vehicles for personal use. 3. **Dietary Changes**: Reduce meat consumption and support sustainable farming practices by choosing locally sourced and organic foods. 4. **Conscious Consumerism**: Buy durable goods, support companies with sustainable practices, and avoid single-use plastics. 5. **Water Conservation**: Implement water-saving techniques at home, such as low-flow fixtures and mindful water use. 6. **Community Engagement**: Participate in local environmental initiatives and advocate for sustainable policies in your community. 7. **Education and Awareness**: Stay informed about climate issues and share knowledge with others to foster a culture of sustainability. By combining policy initiatives with individual actions, we can make significant strides in reducing carbon emissions and mitigating climate change.

It would also be useful to try to better quantify what happens to general productivity during hot summer months especially in the global south. It's not just a matter of more people dying by some small % point. Economic Productivity of all sorts are also impacted, including diminished productivity of farm animals who will suffer a great deal more than people who can always shelter in air conditioned enclosures.

I have been searching for fifty-five years that space falls are described in Mythology, the same subject that Halley, Newton, and Whiston introduced to science. And now with the proof of The Younger Dryas Impacts Theory / Fact, I think y'all should at least understand our past. Just look at a graph of the temperature fluctuations at the end of The Pleistocene, if you discount space falls, it is hard to take this seriously. The next to last big one was 4.3ka, The Burckle Crater Mega Tsunami. Next, people will want Apophis to intersect, you know, the universal flying serpent that represents comets and superbolides, The World Encompassing Serpent that Thor, with his flying meteoric hammer, fishes for with a Bull's Head that represents the radiant of our newest meteor stream, The Halloween Fireballs (Taurids) that we still dress as the dead for!
