/[ A must hear telling of a serious revision of the economic impact of 
climate change ]/
*Prof. Steve Keen presents: “What Economists Don’t Know about Climate 
Science Can Kill Us”*
Extinction Rebellion (XR) UK
  Streamed Mar 25, 2024
Infuriated at how those in our financial system insist on stubbornly 
investing in the exact opposite of what everyone on Earth—including 
them—needs to ensure stable planetary systems?

Join us next Monday for an illuminating presentation + Q&A as 
self-proclaimed "economic heretic", Prof. Steve Keen, delves into his 
latest report with Carbon Tracker and his astonishing findings of just 
how little economists understand of accepted climate science.

He will outline how this ignorance informs wildly unfeasible economic 
policies which, if left unaddressed, will further hasten us towards 
climate and biodiversity breakdown and the resultant economic and 
societal collapse.

This presentation will followed by a Q&A.

*Global Tipping Points Status: Nearing Earth System Tipping Points 
demand a Societal Transformation*
Paul Beckwith

Apr 11, 2024
While COP28 occurred in Dubai, UAE near the end of last year, a landmark 
paper on the present status of Global Tipping Points was released.

This video here is my first one on this group and report led by Timothy 
Lenton and the University of Exeter.

The report goes into great detail on the myriad of Earth System tipping 
points and how they can fall like cascading dominos, vicious feedbacks, 
or a “House of Cards”. There is tremendous urgency since many of these 
thresholds for negative tipping points are fast approaching, and Early 
Warning Signals show that some have likely already been crossed.

To counter these negative tipping points (also known to scientists as 
positive feedbacks) we need human caused positive tipping points (also 
known to scientists as negative feedbacks).

Humans really are in a tug-of-war to remain on this planet in the form 
of a viable civilization: at the moment we are failing miserably, and 
act like there is no tomorrow.

“Global Tipping Points is led by Professor Tim Lenton from the 
University of Exeter’s Global Systems Institute with the support of more 
than 200 researchers from over 90 organisations in 26 countries.

The Global Tipping Points Report was launched at COP28 on 6 December 
2023. The report is an authoritative assessment of the risks and 
opportunities of both negative and positive tipping points in the Earth 
system and society.

Foreword by Dr. Andrew Steer, President & CEO at Bezos Earth Fund.”

“Harmful tipping points in the natural world pose some of the gravest 
threats faced by humanity. Their triggering will severely damage our 
planet’s life-support systems and threaten the stability of our societies.

For example, the collapse of the Atlantic Ocean’s great overturning 
circulation combined with global warming could cause half of the global 
area for growing wheat and maize to be lost.

Five major tipping points are already at risk of being crossed due to 
warming right now and three more are threatened in the 2030s as the 
world exceeds 1.5°C global warming. The full damage caused by negative 
tipping points will be far greater than their initial impact. The 
effects will cascade through
globalised social and economic systems, and could exceed the ability of 
some countries to adapt. Negative tipping points show that the threat 
posed by the climate and ecological crisis is far
more severe than is commonly understood and is of a magnitude never 
before faced by humanity.

Currently, there is no adequate global governance at the scale of the 
threats posed by negative tipping points. The world is on a disastrous 
trajectory. Crossing one harmful tipping point
could trigger others, causing a domino effect of accelerating and 
unmanageable change to our life-support systems. Preventing this – and 
doing so equitably – should become the core goal and logic
of a new global governance framework. Prevention is only possible if 
societies and economic systems are transformed to rapidly reduce 
emissions and restore nature.

The current approach of linear incremental change favoured by many 
decision makers is no longer an option. Existing governance institutions 
and decision-making approaches need to adapt to
facilitate transformational change.

Crucial to achieving this transformational change are positive tipping 
point opportunities, where desirable changes in society become 
self-propelling. Concerted actions can create the enabling conditions 
for triggering rapid and large-scale transformation. Human history is 
flush with examples of abrupt social and technological change. Recent 
examples include the exponential increases in renewable electricity, the 
global reach of environmental justice movements, and the accelerating 
rollout of electric vehicles. Negative tipping point threats could be 
mitigated
if there was a vast effort to trigger other positive tipping point 
opportunities.

Unfortunately, in the time lag during which appropriate governance and 
action might be realised, negative tipping points could still be 
triggered. This means that societies must urgently
be made more resilient to minimise the vast and unequal harms. 
Critically, more resilient societies are also needed to ensure that 
collective focus on triggering positive tipping point opportunities
can be sustained even through a negative tipping event. This resiliency 
can be achieved with ‘no regrets’ actions that anyway make societies 
more sustainable, equitable and prosperous.

The existence of tipping points means that ‘business as usual’ is now 
over. Rapid changes to nature and society are occurring, and more are 
coming. If we don’t revise our governance approach, these changes could 
overwhelm societies…

/[The news archive - Amy Goodman knew... ]/
/*April 13, 2012 */

    April 13, 2012: In the Spokane, Washington Spokesman-Review,
    "Democracy Now" host Amy Goodman observes: "The Pentagon knows it.
    The world’s largest insurers know it. Now, governments may be
    overthrown because of it. It is climate change, and it is real.
    According to the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric
    Administration, last month was the hottest March on record for the
    United States since 1895, when records were first kept, with average
    temperatures of 8.6 degrees above average. More than 15,000 March
    high-temperature records were broken nationally. Drought, wildfires,
    tornadoes and other extreme weather events are already plaguing the
    country."
