    5:10 ....to just not mention coral reefs - tipping at 1.5K
    21:50 I don't feel that is clear here: IPCC said **the weakening strongly impact...** -> the collapse is an add on top
    ....so - we have to expect raising 'strong impact' during this century ...from now on or so.

    Let me put it another way, this is like the data coming from a Formula 1 car that saying the motor is about to blow if you keep driving at maximum speed. Pit to driver "slow down or you wont finish the race". Slowing down does not mean in 20 laps time, it is now today but thats not what is happening. I'm not a scientist or a maths genius, I monitor the noise from scientist and observe how far out the modelling is on climate and in which direction. Does anyone disagree that the climate models tend to be too conservative?
    Pit to driver ''the engine is probably in a worst state than we think, you need to come in to conserve the car". The real tipping point is what we as individual do now today.
    Options.
    1) Carry on as we are, blown engine likely out come.
    2) Hope we enter a cycle of the Eath that is a cooling phase, pit stop to fix engine possible.
    3) Change driver, force required as he and it is usually a he is not listening.
    4) Crew down tools until the driver listens.
    Really for me there is only one option that has any chance of success that's option 4)
    Collectively stop paying taxes, bring governments to their senses.
    Enjoyed the video👍

    The oceans barely matter in the short to medium term. The ocean has so much momentum that it is difficult to change. The atmosphere however, has relatively little inertia. When the arctic ice melts, the northern hemisphere’s polar cell reverses in November. Bye bye northern hemisphere’s weather patterns.

    This sort of presentation of a Phd thesis (maybe good) is good for an advanced academic climate science degree, but is not so good for motivating people to change the climate crisis the world is in. If one of the aims is to encourage change, invite the public to take action to ensure the government of the day takes action to meet or necessarily speed changes towards full mitigation of carbon burning (statistically speaking) then it falls far short. The sorts of outcomes and consequences in the latter case must include the consequences for life on the planet, including human life. The term 'uncertainty' should also be taken to mean uncertainty about the continuation of society around the globe post 2060, and what the reality on the ground for those experiencing such catastrophic change actually is. Thank you

    When it comes to tipping points this is what the IPCC (Special Report on implications of 1.5C or more warming, Chapter 3) says:“there is little evidence for a tipping point in the transition from perennial to seasonal ice cover. No evidence has been found for irreversibility or tipping points, suggesting that year-round sea ice will return given a suitable climate”. The IPCC also do not believe the melting of the arctic permafrost will cause a tipping point in the release of warming methane gas “the carbon released to the atmosphere from thawing permafrost is projected to be restricted to 0.09-0.19 Gt C yr-1 at 2°C of global warming and to 0.08-0.16 Gt C yr-1 at 1.5°C, which does not indicate a tipping point”.
    The Earth's climate is a multi input thermodynamic system and will conform to Le Chatelier's Principle.

      It's called Milankovitch cycles, and our current cycle would have the earth enter another ice age, but instead the planet is warming faster than it ever has in its entire history. You aren't wrong, want to avoid an ice age, cause global climate change with green house gasses. Worked for us this cycle.
