Could Climate Change cause an Ocean Tipping Point... Soon..? ClimateAdam 2023-08-08 | The huge ocean current known as the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC - not the Gulf Stream!) shifts vast amount of water around the world. But scientists fear that by heating the planet and melting the Greenland ice-sheet, we're already slowing it down, with the risk that it could collapse - a potential tipping point with huge consequences around the world. And a new study (published in 2023) has tried to pin down what could happen, when. So what do we actually known about this current, does it have anything to do with the Gulf Stream, and is there anything we can do to protect ourselves?Support ClimateAdam on patreon: http://patreon.com/climateadam#ClimateChange #gulfstream #climatecrisis twitter: http://www.twitter.com/ClimateAdamfacebook: facebook.com/ClimateAdaminstagram: http://instagram.com/climate_adam==MORE INFO==The Study: nature.com/articles/s41467-023-39810-w#Sec7revkin.substack.com/p/behind-hot-headlines-climate-collapse-22-05-06#%C2%A7to-avoid-running-amoc-track-trends-not-studies axios.com/2023/07/25/gulf-stream-collapse-atlantic-ocean-circulation nature.com/articles/s43016-019-0011-3 realclimate.org/index.php/archives/2023/07/what-is-happening-in-the-atlantic-ocean-to-the-amoc theguardian.com/environment/2023/jul/25/gulf-stream-could-collapse-as-early-as-2025-study-suggests?CMP=share_btn_twtwitter.com/EleanorFrajka/status/1683917521735368704 twitter.com/rahmstorf/status/1684940865498742784 blogs.reading.ac.uk/weather-and-climate-at-reading/2022/has-the-atlantic-ocean-circulation-been-in-long-term-decline nature.com/articles/s43017-022-00263-2 bbc.com/news/science-environment-66289494 theconversation.com/the-gulf-stream-will-not-collapse-in-2025-what-the-alarmist-headlines-got-wrong-210773 Difference between AMOC and Gulf Stream: twitter.com/EpocProject/status/1684468246903132160 ==THANKS==Input from Dr Laura Jackson and Professor Eleanor Frajka-Williams – twitter.com/EleanorFrajka Water thrown by Melis Mielchen==CREDITS==Geoengineering visuals from Heinrich-Böll-StiftungPerpetual Ocean by NASA GoddardBuoy footage by NOAASST simulation from MAGS VideosAMOC simulation: NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center Scientific Visualization Studio The Blue Marble Next Generation data is courtesy of Reto Stockli (NASA/GSFC) and NASA's Earth Observatory.Heating planet by NASA's Scientific Visualization Studio

Can Coral Reefs survive Climate Change? ClimateAdam 2024-08-23 | Coral reefs are in hot water... literally. Climate change is ramping up temperatures, causing increasing bleaching of reefs across the world. On top of that, these unique, vital ecosystems are facing threats from plastic pollution, ocean acidification, and overfishing. And new research shows just how in danger the Great Barrier Reef is. But there are solutions to protect reefs from global warming - helping them adapt to a warming world and removing the threats they face. But if we don't stop climate change as soon as possible, we may live to see the end of coral reefs.Support ClimateAdam on patreon: http://patreon.com/climateadam#ClimateChange #greatbarrierreef #coralreef twitter: http://www.twitter.com/ClimateAdaminstagram: http://instagram.com/climate_adam==MORE INFO==My video for @DWPlanetA youtube.com/watch?v=2CrkeFERaZo The new study on great barrier reef nature.com/articles/s41586-024-07672-x News & Views (from an external researcher) discussing study: nature.com/articles/d41586-024-02329-1?WT.ec_id=NATURE-20240808&sap-outbound-id=B88306D76D18FBB17887652E05D02D0FF0487041 Some positive news on restoring reefs: sciencedaily.com/releases/2024/03/240308123248.htm Recovery (and pause in recovery) of great barrier reef: https://www.aims.gov.au/information-centre/news-and-stories/pause-recent-coral-recovery-much-great-barrier-reef 2023 / 2024 status of Great Barrier Reef https://www.aims.gov.au/monitoring-great-barrier-reef/gbr-condition-summary-2023-24 Loss of thermal refugia for world’s reefs researchgate.net/publication/358315105_Future_loss_of_local-scale_thermal_refugia_in_coral_reef_ecosystems Survey finding three quarters of reefs affected icriforum.org/gbr-bleaching-2024 Coral reef recovery vs bleaching https://www.aims.gov.au/information-centre/news-and-stories/great-barrier-reef-reviving-or-dying-heres-whats-happening-beyond-headlines ==CREDITS==Boulder coral photo from Philippe BourjonAdapting reefs clips from World Economic Forum & NOAA SanctuariesBleaching photo from Stop Adani

How deadly heatwaves are blown up by climate change ClimateAdam 2024-06-27 | Across the world people are sweltering under the extreme heat of heat waves - whether under the heat dome in North America or the deadly heat that threatened Hajj pilgrims in Mecca. These weather disasters may not look as scary as devastating floods, wildfires and droughts, but they are silent killers - threatening the most vulnerable in our societies. And now research is shedding light on just how deadly heat waves can be, and how climate change is pouring fuel on the fire.

Climate Scientist responds to Sabine Hossenfelder on Climate Sensitivity ClimateAdam 2024-02-02 | How hot will our planet actually get? Climate scientists try to answer this question by evaluating the "climate sensitivity". And if you've watched the recent Sabine Hossenfelder, you may be left with the impression that climate change wasn't much to worry about... but now it is. So I'm here to explain what the evidence is actually showing us, and why the situation is a little more nuanced than Sabine's commentary may have suggested. And crucially I break down how climate scientists arrive at a number for the crucial "climate sensitivity", to give us a sense for how much global warming we're in for.Support ClimateAdam on patreon: http://patreon.com/climateadamThanks so much for the input from:Piers Forster twitter.com/piersforsterKate Marvel twitter.com/drkatemarvelZeke Hausfather twitter.com/hausfath#ClimateChange #globalwarmingtwitter: http://www.twitter.com/ClimateAdaminstagram: http://instagram.com/climate_adam==MORE INFO==Sabine video: youtube.com/watch?v=4S9sDyooxf4 My video on landmark climate sensitivity paper: youtu.be/7tMAkhQCJ48?si=XxdpXJP2zOA3x4ko Nature Comment on hot models: nature.com/articles/d41586-022-01192-2 Hot models too hot historically: esd.copernicus.org/articles/11/737/2020/esd-11-737-2020.html… and for the last “ice age”agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1029/2021MS002776 Explanation of climate sensitivity: carbonbrief.org/explainer-how-scientists-estimate-climate-sensitivity The epic study on climate sensitivity: agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1029/2019RG000678 Weather forecast to validate model: agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1029/2019MS001986 Associated comment piece: nature.com/articles/d41586-020-01484-5 Why such forecasts tests should be carried out: rmets.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/qj.23The James Hansen paper: academic.oup.com/oocc/article/3/1/kgad008/7335889 Critiques of it:twitter.com/hausfath/status/1720098321161957761 (check the replies too)michaelmann.net/content/comments-new-article-james-hanseneenews.net/articles/james-hansen-is-back-with-another-dire-climate-warning washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/2023/12/26/global-warming-accelerating-climate-change Do climate protests work: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/2378023120925949 IEA net zero roadmap: iea.blob.core.windows.net/assets/9a698da4-4002-4e53-8ef3-631d8971bf84/NetZeroRoadmap_AGlobalPathwaytoKeepthe1.5CGoalinReach-2023Update.pdf ==CREDITS==Sabine photo from Sabine HossenfelderIce core clip from The ConversationOcean visual and temperature projection from NasaGreek floods by Weather events
Eco-Emotions: How we deal with climate fears | ft. @DrGilbz ClimateAdam 2024-01-26 | Understanding climate change and how we're unravelling our world is gruelling. And to work as a climate scientist and communicator means you're constantly juggling emotions - from hope to climate anxiety. So where do we find our hope and our courage to continue? And how can we manage our feelings so that working on global warming is not only bearable, but brilliant!Check out Ella: @DrGilbz And check out the videos we mentioned!On Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC): youtu.be/8eJ-TFIlLK0On the West Antarctic: youtube.com/watch?v=8_BoZDS1gjUSupport ClimateAdam on patreon: http://patreon.com/climateadam#ClimateChangetwitter: http://www.twitter.com/ClimateAdaminstagram: http://instagram.com/climate_adam==MORE INFO==Write up of 1.5 degree study imperial.ac.uk/news/248913/window-avoid-15c-warming-will-close The study nature.com/articles/s41558-023-01848-5 West Antarctic Study nature.com/articles/s41558-023-01818-xAMOC study nature.com/articles/s41467-023-39810-w#Sec7 ==THANKS==Cop28 clip from Narendra Modi
Will 2024 be the Hottest Year Ever Recorded? ClimateAdam 2024-01-12 | 2023 shattered global temperature records, as climate change coupled with El Niño raised temperatures to sweltering levels. This new marker of global warming drove devastating extreme weather disasters across the planet, from heatwaves to floods to wildfires to droughts. But now climate scientists are predicting 2024 could be even hotter, potentially even 1.5°C of warming for the first time. So what's driving these temperatures, how can we already know what this year holds, and what can we do to combat climate change?Support ClimateAdam on patreon: http://patreon.com/climateadam#climatechange #2024 #2023twitter: http://www.twitter.com/ClimateAdaminstagram: http://instagram.com/climate_adam==MORE INFO==2023’s record heat and its consequenceswashingtonpost.com/climate-environment/2023/12/31/2023-record-heat-temperatures Relative to paleoclimatewashingtonpost.com/weather/2023/07/08/earth-hottest-years-thousands-climate Met Office’s 2024 projectionmetoffice.gov.uk/about-us/press-office/news/weather-and-climate/2023/2024-first-chance-of-year-above-1.5-c-say-climate-scientists More predictionhttps://www.aa.com.tr/en/environment/el-nino-intensifying-climate-change-to-make-2024-another-record-hot-year-scientists-warn/3083649 Misleading headline about 1.5 newscientist.com/article/2407266-world-predicted-to-break-1-5c-warming-limit-for-first-time-in-2024 Emissions peak?youtu.be/BOMFGcOEb84?si=7Tu2JZuFUlv1YNIw==CREDITS==Gaza footage from Kanal13Future temp projections from Nasa GoddardNeanderthal photo from Neil HowardHistorical warming from NASA Climate ChangeIce core clip from The ConversationPower plant demolition from News 360 TvFridays for future from OstviertelWildfire footage from Cal OESHeatwave visuals WMO & Pesticide Educational Resources Collaborative (PERC)Greek floods by Weather events
The tough reality of Carbon Capture & Storage ClimateAdam 2023-12-08 | Depending who you ask, carbon capture and storage (CCS) might seem like a vital fix to climate change, or a dangerous distraction from the hard work we need to do decarbonising - from protecting nature to building renewables. But when it comes to tackling climate change, there are no simple truths - carbon capture and storage is both hero and villain of our fight against global warming.This film has been supported by the Meliore Foundation.

2023s Weather is Extreme. Can we stop it getting worse? ClimateAdam 2023-10-05 | Climate change is here. From heatwaves scorching across the world, to devastating flooding in New York, Libya and across the Mediterranean, extreme weather is dominating 2023. And time and time again scientists are showing how climate change is fundamentally linked to these extremes. But we're not helpless in the face of such extreme disasters. If we stop climate change much of this weather will stop worsening.

From malaria, to new pandemics, to zombie viruses - the truth is worth a hard-hitting TV series of its own.Subscribe to Maren here: youtube.com/c/MarenHunsbergerSupport ClimateAdam on patreon: http://patreon.com/climateadam#ClimateChange #zombiesurvival #thelastofus #pedropascal twitter: http://www.twitter.com/ClimateAdamfacebook: facebook.com/ClimateAdaminstagram: http://instagram.com/climate_adam==MORE INFO==nature.com/articles/s41598-023-30751-4#Sec4hindawi.com/journals/cjidmm/2018/5719081epa.gov/climate-indicators/climate-change-indicators-lyme-diseasemednexus.org/doi/full/10.1186/s40249-019-0565-1nap.nationalacademies.org/read/14682/chapter/6#77 edition.cnn.com/2023/03/08/world/permafrost-virus-risk-climate-scn/index.htmlnature.com/articles/s41558-021-01162-yindependent.co.uk/news/health/ancient-zombie-viruses-found-on-ice-b2237441.htmlhttps://www.who.int/news/item/04-03-2022-first-ever-malaria-vaccine-recommendation-now-published-in-a-position-paper-and-in-the-who-guidelines-for-malariatheguardian.com/global-development/2023/apr/13/ghana-is-first-country-to-approve-oxford-r21-malaria-vaccine==CREDITS==Co-written and presented by Maren HunsbererTsetse Fly by Oregon State UniversityKissing Bug by Simon Fraser University - Communications & Marketing
The Climate Change Solution Tier List! feat. @EngineeringwithRosie ClimateAdam 2023-04-25 | There are a host of solutions to help climate change action, but how do we tell what's worth the hype, and what's just greenwashing? From solar pv, to wind power, plus nuclear and even geoengineering. So are renewables worth it, and could the future of fusion save the day? I'm joined by @EngineeringwithRosie to break down the tools that could help save us from climate break down.And don't forget to watch the video over on Rosie's channel all about solar radiation management (SRM) geoengineering youtu.be/SCcqc-he0-MSupport ClimateAdam on patreon: http://patreon.com/climateadam#ClimateChange #TierList #engineering #technologytwitter: http://www.twitter.com/ClimateAdamfacebook: facebook.com/ClimateAdaminstagram: http://instagram.com/climate_adam==CREDITS==Rooftop wind from Toby WhitingGlobal warming temperature map from Nasa GISSVertical axis wind turbine by SWIRL SeCS (Smart Wind Integrated Renewables Letzebuerg)Geoengineering visuals from Heinrich-Böll-StiftungPower plant demolition by ALIEN ADDICTOcean photo by Hotel KaesongSolar panel by Jimmy_JoeWind turbine by Patrick Finnegan

Can Artificial Intelligence revolutionise Climate Action?! feat. @AnkurShah ClimateAdam 2023-03-23 | From ChatGPT to Midjourney, it's clear A.I. (artificial intelligence) will change everything we do. And climate change and energy are two of the biggest things that we do. From understanding climate change, to developing new energy tech, and even building better climate policy, A.I. could mean huge amounts in our fight to stop global warming. But A.I. isn't a silver bullet, and there are a host of risks to relying to heavily on machine learning to tackle our problems for us.Check out our video on Ankur's channel:youtube.com/watch?v=EapIRSBbUeMSupport ClimateAdam on patreon: http://patreon.com/climateadam#ClimateChangetwitter: http://www.twitter.com/ClimateAdamfacebook: facebook.com/ClimateAdaminstagram: http://instagram.com/climate_adam==MORE INFO==Climate Change AIclimatechange.ai/summaries Google AI and climate modellingscience.org/content/article/science-insurgents-plot-climate-model-driven-artificial-intelligence GCM with AI gmd.copernicus.org/preprints/gmd-2021-299/gmd-2021-299.pdf climatechange.ai Early warnings and adaptation: weforum.org/agenda/2022/11/how-artificial-intelligence-can-prepare-us-for-climate-adaptation Predicting temperature limit crossing theguardian.com/environment/2023/jan/30/climate-crisis-global-heating-artificial-intelligence Climate Change and AI recommendations for government actiongpai.ai/projects/climate-change-and-ai.pdf Benefits and risks of AIncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8522259 link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s43681-020-00007-2 AI and climate policyclimatepolicyradar.org/what-we-do AI and inequalitytechnologyreview.com/2022/04/19/1049378/ai-inequality-problem ==THANKS==Thanks to Michal Nachmany for inputClimate simulation from DKRZ (Deutsches KlimaRechenZentrum) and MPI-M (Max-Planck-Institut für Meteorologie).Alpha Fold footage from UCSF ChimeraXEarth photo by Kevin Gill0:00 Boosting our Intelligence1:37 A.I.
