  • Global warming is bringing Earth’s climate system toward dangerous tipping points, with devastating consequences for ecosystems and people.
    But rapid change goes both ways. Can positive tipping points help rebalance the planet?

    No technology will save us as long as we depend on exponential growth. Videos like this give people the false hope that someone is doing something about this when they're not. Tipping points have already been tipped. This isn't a problem to be fixed, but a predicament to be faced.

    Although the world leaders have high expectations to cut greenhouse emissions. The ignorance of public and industrial players to take action may disappointed our efforts to protect the earth. Hence, education plays important role to make more people aware the dangerous of climate disasters.

    3:20 mins in, why did you show the figures, then adjust these down... does that people have become less interested recently?
    If so, the amount of fake news out there wouldn't make it surprising.

    Your solution of various band aids will not reduce the cause. Economic growth feeds on overpopulation which seems to be the main lesson taught in economics throughout universities world wide. Governments and companies thrive on more humans. Instant gratification creates consumers to focus on the here and now and ignore future problems. Hence will will not sort this mess out whilst greed demands more from our limited resources.

      The worlds economic system is a scaled up version of “every man for himself”. No one is in charge. Going against the system is punished by being marginalised, commercially unsuccessful, voted out or starving. Even if all the green technology was ready to go (far from the case) I think we would just use it to grow and consume more. This is already the case with the rollout of wind, PV, EVs etc. Despite these, fossil fuel consumption, CO2 and global temperatures just keep climbing without any sign of tailing off.
      Having studied the trends for at least the last 25 years I’m quite pessimistic about a solution being possible.

    Father of "Climate Change Science", Dr. James Hansen, in testimony in front of US Congress, made it clear nuclear power must be part of solution, but this video leaves that out. Why?
