Canadian Association for the Club of Rome | Paul Beckwith on Global Tipping Points 2023 @canadianassociationforthec7885 | Uploaded May 2024 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
Description: The Good Tipping Points include renewables (solar PV, wind power, battery storage, electric cars), public awareness on climate disruption, & government action on carbon pricing. The Bad Tipping Points include glaciers, sea level rise, extreme weather events (heat waves, droughts, torrential rains, social cascades causing migration). The Ugly include the collapse of ocean currents, which could cascade to a frozen Arctic & Europe, baking equator, shifting intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ) causing monsoon failures, lack of food, more heat into the Southern Hemisphere.
Biography: Paul Beckwith has given many previous talks to CACOR on our rapidly accelerating climate system, and today is an update. Paul has degrees in Engineering Physics and Laser Optics. He has studied climate change for over 15 years. He has posted well over a thousand videos on his YouTube channel on all aspects of climate change and taught climatology, oceanography, and physical geography at U of Ottawa and Carleton U.
