Bad Global Tipping Points in the Earth’s Biosphere
Ғылым және технология
In my recent videos, I have discussed the amazingly fantastic report called “Global Tipping Points 2023”:
global-tipping-points.org/
In this video I chat all about the global tipping points in the biosphere.
The various ecosystems of planet Earth are grouped into various “biomes” and are occupied by a plethora of flora (plants) and fauna (animals) of amazing numbers and even more amazing biodiversity.
We are rapidly destroying this biodiversity, and there are many negative tipping points (regime changes, critical transitions) that are accelerating this damage abruptly.
Once gone, it is impossible to ever recover many of these species, or ecosystems.
I chat about the loss of resilience and stress on many different biomes, including:
- tropical forests including the Amazon
- boreal forests
- temperate forests
-- savannah and grasslands
- drylands
- freshwater lakes
- coastal regions
- coral reefs
- mangroves
- sea grasses
- kelp
- fisheries
Clearly, biodiversity around our planet is being severely distressed, and the faster climate change accelerates, the greater the danger of collapse.

It’s hard to capture the right sentiment here. Life has undergone mass extinctions before and in some sense “we” are not doing any better than cyanobacteria. Some humans feel moral anguish. Unfortunately not the ones controlling the process.

Living in SW Florida we have dangerous blue-green algae breakouts , impacts to natural springs and the aquifer from urban sprawl and sea level rise and reduction in natural habitat due to unmanaged growth . Increasing temperatures also put stress on plants and animals and aquatic life .

@@neilfletcher4951 It was observed degassing over 20 years ago, in siberia by (sorry forgotten her name..russian scientist).....her research was sidelined....because it showed we didn't have ANY time left...and global action was required immediately. And short lived as methane....breaks down into CO2.....so not a great help there. 9 MONTHS in a row that are the hottest on record. And the biggest polluters intend to increase emissions...low emitters intend to increase....and the rest have plans to continue with a slow reduction. 0.5 degrees hidden/lost due to moving the start date from 1700 to 1850 0.4 - 0.8 degrees masked by air travel. 0.2 - 1.0 degrees masked by shipping. so the 1.2 - 1.8 we officially have is more in the range of 2.3 - 2.9. Runaway train....until equilibrium is reached.........from past temp records my guess would be somewhere around 7-10 above 1700. BUT the change isn't the problem....it's the RATE of change that's gonna do for our civilization. As Paul points out ecosystems are already collapsing.....and will be lost 1 after the other, because organisms cannot adapt fast enough. Nothing in earths history (except the rock that finally did for the dinosaurs) comes close to the speed of change we are experiencing now.
Great paper I'm going to have to sit down and give this one a proper read.

The probability that one of these tipping points will trip off the next couple of years is just too high to continuously ignore.
I truly hope Paul doesn't take this the wrong way. I wonder if the miners ever thanked the canaries in the mine. Many thanks to Paul for his long fight to warn us.
I went to the Great Barrier Reef in 2005, was super excited because I just watch Finding Nemo...I know its a cartoon, I was still a kid and hopeful..but it was sad back then.
I watched a fascinating show on how the changing jet stream is driving more severe tornados and sending them northerly out of Tornado alley because the Jet stream is shifting north.
We're all connected right, Tipping points!

News tip: Severe blast from the dangerous Ruang volcano, after the volcano temporarily got plugged up. The Ruang volcano is sometimes referred to as Gunung Ruang. The volcano is located east of the island of Borneo, and south of the Philippine island of Mindinao. More than one airline cancelled eastbound flights from Kuala Lumpur in Malaya to destinations in the Sarawak and Sabah regions of northwestern Borneo, regions where the volcanic ash cloud could be heading.

Additional information: The blast was powerful enough to inject sulfur dioxide into the stratosphere. Such stratospheric injections that are near the Equator are especially effective at temporarily lowering Earth's mean surface temperature.

Recommended viewing from an environmentalist point of view is KZread video "Mt Ruang eruption: Hundreds of Sabah, Sarawak-bound passengers stranded", posted by KZread channel "The Star". A long time ago back toward the end of the 19th Century during the 1890s when it became apparent that manned flight might go beyond uses such as military observation balloons, and uses such as sending military messages or some important government or military official by balloon out from within a besieged city, there had been considerable philosophical thought put toward the idea that man wasn't really meant to engage in large scale civilian air travel. Watching the video mentioned in the previous paragraph, lends credence to such 1890s era viewpoints. Mankind now in the 2020s has overall become too dependent and reliant on the luxury of travel through the skies. Acts of nature such as volcanic eruptions sometimes bring into much better understandability such 19th-Century viewpoints. Some KZread channel owners do not set up their channels in such a way as to allow non-moderators to post links to a video, meaning in such cases that any post containing such a link will be automatically deleted. As such, I will attempt to provide a link in a separate post to the KZread video mentioned two paragraphs ago, in order to avoid the possibility of the deletion of the discussion in this post regarding 19-Century thoughts regarding the proper future of air travel.

See kzread.info/dash/bejne/pXao3NiBXbOtiaQ.html for a link to the KZread video that is mentioned in the previous post. The time will likely eventually happen, with that time perhaps being in the 22nd Century, when people in tropical regions such as Malaya and Sarawak and Sabah will finally understand that air travel has an accumulating carbon footprint that will regretably assist in flooding many many portions of low altitude regions on Earth by way of global warming sea level rise, and will assist in making many other low altitude tropical regions too hot for humans.

It isn’t people not accepting bad news, it’s people understanding that NOTHING can be done about it because for more than 30 years I haven’t seen a thing which is doable to make the situation better. We study, we talk, we discuss but we do nothing and avoid discussion on the economy and the way it works. People are worse off, the elites are wealthier and the science has NO solutions which are based in reality. Pretending that building more junk will somehow make things better because you idiots call them green isn’t reality. Making solar panels and windmills with oil isn’t helping the situation it’s conning the idiots in believing we are trying to do something. We are destroying built power generation to rebuild so called green energy. If you think that helps you are the problem because all it does is MAKE MONEY for the elites. The only solution we have is to take from the have too much and give to the have nothing while reducing our economic output to the bare necessities. Of course you don’t want that, I don’t want that and the elites don’t want that. So what do you think will happen?

- We live in the same climate as it was 5 million years ago - I have an explanation regarding the cause of the climate change and global warming, it is the travel of the universe to the deep past since May 10, 2010. Each day starting May 10, 2010 takes us 1000 years to the past of the universe. Today April 18, 2024 the state of our universe is the same as it was 5 million and 92 thousand years ago. On october 13, 2026 the state of our universe will be at the point 6 million years in the past. On june 04, 2051 the state of our universe will be at the point 15 million years in the past. On june 28, 2092 the state of our universe will be at the point 30 million years in the past. On april 02, 2147 the state of our universe will be at the point 50 million years in the past. The result is that the universe is heading back to the point where it started and today we live in the same climate as it was 5 million years ago. Mohamed BOUHAMIDA.

@@DrSmooth2000 It's the RATE of change that is the worst in global history. PETM took place over 200,000 years. We're talking 20 years - the Coral Bleaching that just happened certainly will kill off fish due to lack of food. Turtles are being born female now due to ocean heat. Fish are sensitive to heat also. "The exact age and duration of the PETM remain uncertain, but it occurred around 55.8 million years ago (Ma) and lasted about 200 thousand years (Ka). The entire warm period lasted for about 200,000 years. Global temperatures increased by 5-8 °C." 20 years as RATE of change is (four orders of magnitude less) is a lot less then 200,000 years.
