"Continued global heating could trigger climate tipping points, leading to a cascade of further tipping points and feedback loops ... This would lock the world into a new and hellish “hothouse Earth” climate far worse than the 2-3C temperature rise the world is on track to reach. ... The assessment, which was published in the journal One Earth, synthesised recent scientific findings on climate feedback loops and 16 tipping elements." https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/feb/11/point-of-no-return-hothouse-earth-global-heating-climate-tipping-points

Tim Lenton, Professor im Englischen Exeter schrieb ein Buch über positive Kipppunkte "Positive Tipping Points - How to fix the Climate Crisis". Der Spiegel berichtete darüber.
Der Kipppunkt für Solarenergie sei bereits überschritten und Deutschland hat hierbei eine Schlüsselrolle gespielt.
Inzwischen will China die Vorreiterschaft bei erneuerbaren Energien übernehmen - auch wenn sie aktuell auch noch Kohle nutzen. Susanne Götze und Annika Joeres schreiben in ihrem Buch "Die MilliardenLobby", dass China so massiv in Solarenergie investiert, weil es von anderen (autokratischen) Ländern unabhängig werden will.
"...dem Klima, meint Lenton, sei es letztlich egal, ob es an deutschem oder an chinesischem Solarstrom genese."

The scientists speak a little into the camera, then the filmmaker either illustrates the spoken words with aerial nature scenes or with clear, animated graphics.
English with English subtitles. I like it!

Again, the 7%-water-rule comes up.
Eye opener: 7% at +1.5C is more water vapour than what 7% was at +1C. Same principle as in how the rich get richer faster.

Not answered: most land mass has more than +1C, Germany in summer can be +3C, places in the Adriatic sea +5C this August.
So do we apply the 7%-rule to the local deviation from the normal in order to express or to guage the water hunger of the air in this particular parcel?
And also, what happens when the wind drives one parcel away after it drank its fill from soil, plants, water bodies, and a new parcel comes in, heats up to the local deviation, drinks its fill, and moves. I mean, shouldn't the inner continents be all dried up by now?
Or maybe the act of evaporation cools the place enough for a new parcel that moves in, to be sufficiently shocked into raining down what it had sucked up elsewhere...hm.
Anyway. Good documentary!

Weekend pick📺: Are we at risk of crossing #ClimateTippingPoints? New documentary "climate extremes" out now! With PIK director Johan Rockström, PIK scientists @rahmstorf , Jonathan Donges, Levke Caesar, Sina Loriani, Nico Wunderling, Daniel Swain from the Public Policy Institute of California, Samantha Burgess, PhD et al.

Earth’s ‘vital signs’ show humanity’s future in balance, say climate experts

Record emissions, temperatures and population mean more scientists are looking into possibility of societal collapse, report says

We age abruptly—
What in youth might have healed, won't.
Climate Change brings age.
