<i>[ A must hear telling of a serious revision of the economic
impact of climate change ]</i><br>
<b>Prof. Steve Keen presents: “What Economists Don’t Know about
Climate Science Can Kill Us”</b><br>
Extinction Rebellion (XR) UK<br>
Streamed Mar 25, 2024<br>
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?<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
This presentation will followed by a Q&A.<br>

<b>Global Tipping Points Status: Nearing Earth System Tipping Points
demand a Societal Transformation</b><br>
Paul Beckwith
<p>Apr 11, 2024<br>
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.<br>
<br>
This video here is my first one on this group and report led by
Timothy Lenton and the University of Exeter. <br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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). <br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>

“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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
Foreword by Dr. Andrew Steer, President & CEO at Bezos Earth
Fund.”<br>

“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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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<br>
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<br>
more severe than is commonly understood and is of a magnitude
never before faced by humanity.<br>
<br>
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<br>
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<br>
of a new global governance framework. Prevention is only possible
if societies and economic systems are transformed to rapidly
reduce emissions and restore nature.<br>
<br>
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<br>
facilitate transformational change.<br>
<br>
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<br>
if there was a vast effort to trigger other positive tipping point
opportunities.<br>
<br>
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<br>
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<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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…<br>

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."<br>
