Tipping Points

Dr. James Hansen shares in this video various tipping points we need to be aware of concerning climate change and the ever-warming world. Dr. Hansen is a notable expert in global warming and climatology. He knows what he is talking about and he speaks to the public in terms that we can all understand.

It's important to know the tipping points, where climate change becomes irreversible, or severe and out of control, or when ecosystems face failure. If we know the generalities of these tipping points, we can work to avoid them. Tipping points are the guidelines to let us know how we are doing. If we pass too many of them, we face living (or dying) in a radically different world, one that is not pretty, nor fun to live in.
