You’ve probably heard of climate tipping points, those thresholds we REALLY don’t want to hit. But not all climate tipping points are negative. In fact there are some that we would REALLY like to hit. And scientists have identified the policies that can get us there.
Erratum: In the video I mistakenly claim that EVs in Norway outnumber vehicles powered by fossil fuels – as the source on screen correctly states, they just outnumber *petrol* powered vehicles. They will likely outnumber diesel cars in the next few years.

This video is about climate tipping points, just the climate tipping points scientists want us to hit. The good news is: we have either already hit these tipping points or are going to hit them soon with targeted policies that scientists have identified. Watch this video to feel better about climate change and our response to it.

About The Author
Tell this to Donald trump
Can someone please refer me to some comprehensible sites where the evidence of CO2 caused climate change is clearly proven or demonstrated? Since according to most of the press most scientists agree, and we are willing to stake our wealth and civilisation on it, surely this proof must be clearly and abundantly available?
reverse time🥳🥳🥳🥳
simon went from pop sci to infotainment to greenwashing lmao
What is the lifespan of an EV? What is the EV battery lifespan?
EV combined with rooftop PV main features :
EV oversized battery. Parked 23hrs every day EVs battery is oversized for the daily drive and is FREE STORAGE, dirt cheap storage.
PV can be dirt cheap and
No grid electricity is needed. $2,000
No gas heating, cooking, water heating is needed. $2,000
No imported petroleum is needed per vehicle $3,000
Feed-in savings $3,000
😎 Shaded rooftops lower energy
$++++ 😮 😊😊😊😊😊😊
Total $10,000 to $13,000 TAX FREE.
😮 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
In Australia when the sunshines.
In all warm latitudes.
In cooler warming latitudes when the sunshines 🌞 ☀️ 😎
The grid, when unloaded but supplied by customers excess feed-in, can now supply heavy industrial customers moving away from fossil fuels.
PV is cheaper than windows $m ² in Australia and can be the same everywhere.
This synergy can be exponentially valuable.
Hahaha 👍 😊😊😊😊
Great ideias, thanks for sharing
Keep making these 20 minute videos, they are the perfect thing for a morning walk! 🌄
"No guys don't worry the green utopia is just around the corner ignore the facts that there will be unprecedented ecological disasters especially in the imperial periphery just buy a new car don't change the system don't be a communist just close your eyes and give corporations your money "
A new study expects that extra heating from eastern China alone reducing SO2 emissions will raise the global average temperature between 0.2 and 0.5 degrees C by 2030.
Phase out coal and oil as soon as possible, people employed in coal already make plenty and they are not working in the safest industry so it would have a overwhelming positive impact.
if you think that you are going to change or affect climate change, you are delusional
This is nonsense. In order to sustain renewable we need nuclear energy. It's a scientific fact.
Can we just all collectively move to public transport now? ;-;
you used my favorite phrase! (get in the bin)
Summer here was pure rain and probably the worst summer in many years i had. Felt more like winter.
This only means that I have to pollute more with my v8 to bring back the sun.
I’m optimistic about the future sort of and I’m only 25 years old.
If capital can protect or achieve profit they will drive the tipping points that suite them.
Green politics may help?
Education will help shape the the argument?
The oligarchy will decide.
It's why we still drive an electric car that weighs two tonnes to transport a human that weighs .1 tonnes.
There are much better solutions we could legislate for.
But they are not as profitable.
Yet.
Same as the electric car in 1920 had a range much the same as it has now. Despite thousands of patents.
DR K F SOCCER S-P-C KNOWS THAT THE EARTH HAS TWO MAJOR SEISMIC SHIFTS AND TWO MAJOR 50 YEAR CYCLES 1-CYCLE HAS THE EARTH CLOSED UP THE TECTONIC PLATES FOR ABOUT 25 YEAR PEROID EVERY 50 YEARS
1-CYCLE
1985 TO 2011
MINOR TECTONIC PLATES CLOSED UP
MINOR VOLCANIC-EARTHQUAKES
MINOR VOLCANIC-SMOG YEARLY
MINOR INFECTIOUS DISEASES
MINOR EXTREME WEATHER
REGULAR WINTERS
THE CORE RETAINS ABOUT 1.175 KILOTONS OF SURFACE WATER EACH AND EVERY YEAR FOR ABOUT 25 YEAR PEROID EVERY 50 YEARS
THEN 25-30 KILOTONS OF SURFACE WATER TO THE CORE HEATS UP THE ENTIRE WORLD AND THE ENTRE ATMOSPHERE AROUND THE ENTRE WORLD
2-CYCLE HAS THE EARTH OPENS UP AND CLOSES UP IN A 25 YEAR PEROID EVERY 50 YEARS
MAJOR TECTONIC PLATES CRACKS CRACKS CRACKS OPEN
MAJOR VOLCANIC-EARTHQUAKES CAUSING
MAJOR VOLCANIC-SMOG ERUPTIONS DAILY FOR ABOUT 25 YEAR PEROID EVERY 50 YEARS
CAUSING
MAJOR INFECTIOUS DISEASES OUTBREAKS PANDEMIC
MAJOR EXTREME WEATHER PATTERNS AROUND THE ENTRE WORLD
2012 TO 2024 THAT IS HALFWAY THROUGH THIS MAJOR CYCLE
2024 TO 2035
MAJOR COLD COLD COLD COLD COLD COLD FREEZING HEAVY SNOW STORMS WINTERS IN A ROW TO CLOSE UP THE TECTONIC PLATES
THE ENTIRE ATMOSPHERE AROUND THE ENTRE WORLD COOLS DOWN AT THE SAME TIME MINI ICE AGE
DR K F SOCCER S-P-C KNOWS THAT SURPRISED YOU DO NOT KNOW????
The older people are the less they have to deal with bad consequences. Young people should have wieghted power because they will, statistically, have to deal with long term consequences for much longer than an 80yo person
In Germany electric vehicles are on the decline 🫥
#ev and #solartech from China: unbelievable that the US (Biden, the green deal president, not trump!) and green deal European Parlament President are introducing big import taxes for those Chinese products, because they’re supposed to be subsidised. If that was true, we should be happy if China is subsidising green tech for the rest of the world – or compete by sunbesides our own green industries, to have a chance to mitigate climate collapse
It's not the consumer that needs to reduce their emissions… it's the industries. Personal cars are a drop in the bucket compared to flight, and trucking, in America for example. We need trains to replace the massive petrol truck fleets.
Follow the link in the description, the research is in partnership with Bezos so obviously going to have some significant blind spots.
You look like a Hallmark actor
