New Documentary Climate Extremes: At the Abyss? Explores the Science Behind the Non-linearity of Climate Change
Released on October 25, Climate Extremes: At the Abyss? is a new documentary that delves into the science behind the non linearity of climate change, earth's tipping points, planetary boundaries and ocean circulations. Featuring insights from world-renowned scientists, the film investigates how seemingly small changes in climate can trigger large-scale, cascading impacts, potentially affecting ecosystems, weather patterns, and human communities on a global scale. The documentary features experts from the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts, and the U.S. National Center for Atmospheric Research.
Non-linear Change: what is “non-linear” change? How is it different from linear change? The film explores this very fundamental concept and emphasizes its importance in understanding Earth’s behavior.
Planetary Boundaries and Earth’s Stability: The documentary discusses the "Corridor of Life"—Earth's narrow temperature range necessary for stability—and the risks of crossing planetary boundaries.
Tipping Points and Non-Linear Climate Dynamics: The documentary explains how certain thresholds in the climate system can lead to unpredictable and irreversible changes.
Climate Feedback Loops: The documentary explores positive and negative feedback loops, showing how processes like ice melting and deforestation can accelerate climate change, pushing Earth past critical thresholds.
The Role of the AMOC: The documentary explores the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation's role in regulating temperatures and weather patterns across the Northern Hemisphere and how a slowdown could have drastic effects
