18:35 | Climate impact scholar Johan Rockström offers the most up-to-date scientific assessment of the state of the planet and explains what must be done to preserve Earth’s resilience to human pressure.
11:59 | Arctic air is warming, causing scientists to worry that melting arctic ice and snow could also lead to a sudden permafrost thaw and release of carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) that forms a climate tipping point.
5:56 | The Amazon rainforest absorbs huge amount of CO2 and helps to cool the world, but recent studies have shown the rainforest is approaching a tipping point.
13:45 | Human activity hasn’t just lowered the amount of CO2 the Amazon region can store, it’s also kicked off numerous other feedback loops that are now tipping out of control.
3:34 | How close are we to a climate tipping point?
10:23 | For those fighting climate change, it can often feel like a fight to get clear facts on the situation. So I’m here to put straight some common myths you might have come across on the way!
12:12 | The summer of 2020 saw record breaking heatwaves across the Arctic region. Those warm temperatures also caused the thawing of permafrost and sediment on the seabed allowing the release of very high concentrations of methane. Have we now reached the tipping point?
7:45 | Johan Rockström shows how nine out of the 15 big biophysical systems that regulate the climate are at risk of reaching tipping points, which could make Earth uninhabitable for humanity.
34:23 | Dr. Daniel Cziczo explains how CO2 buildup affects Earth’s atmosphere, and how the present CO2 human-caused accumulation differs from the natural heating cycles over eons.
18:31 | Klimaforsker Sebastian Mernild og klimakunstner Jens Galschiøt forklarer konsekvenserne af det omtalte ”tipping point”. Også: lokalt bidrag til de internationale klimastrejker.
Stefan Rahmstorf spoke about Arctic Tipping Points in a Plenary Session during the #ArcticCircle2019 Assembly.
5:09 | If we stop emitting greenhouse gases is that the end of global warming? Not if we’ve passed a point of no return – a planetary tipping point. And if we’re not careful, things could end up even more messy than my skateboarding.
10:34 | Wake up, Freak Out – Then Get a Grip. A short animated film by Leo Murray. In Danish.
14:02 | A methane burst from the East Siberian Arctic Shelf could happen at any time and needs only a trigger. That’s the conclusion of the world’s leading research scientist in that region – Natalia Shakhova.
11:28 | Stefan Rahmstorf talks about the premise behind the paper “Why the right climate target was agreed in Paris”.
2:21 | Stefan Rahmstorf and Michael E. Mann talk about tipping points and the science of climate change.
39:10 | Economic Perspectives on Pricing Environmental Risk.
