Confronting Climate Change: Avoiding the Unmanageable, Managing the Unavoidable. by Rosina Bierbaum youtube.com/watch?v=B0FarCSgaZIPublished on Jul 4, 2017 (Visit: www.uctv.tv/) 0:13 - Start of Main Presentation 45:33 - Start of Q & A Rosina Bierbaum, formerly of President Obama's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST) and an Adaptation Fellow at the World Bank shows how climate change will affect all regions and sectors of the economy, and disproportionately affect the poorest people on the planet. Therefore, improving the resilience, adaptation, and preparedness of communities must be a high priority, equal to that of achieving deep greenhouse gas reductions,and rapid development and deployment of innovative technologies, as well as altered planning and management strategies, will be needed in the coming decades to achieve a sustainable world.

Tipping points from Cascading Feedbacks. Published on Nov 23, 2017 by Paul Beckwith From my chair, it looks like we can kiss our stable nurturing climate goodby. Humans have poked and prodded and perturbed our Earth systems to the breaking point, and these systems are now breaking. Business as usual guarantees an unstable climate and gut-wrenching consequences for all life on this planet. We must try to restore a stable climate. Recognizing and declaring a global climate emergency is the first step. Please support my work with a donation at paulbeckwith.netm.youtube.com/watch?v=G25dGJ3yUYk |

Quit the loose climate talk and let's get serious! UPFSI Published on Nov 17, 2017 by UPFSI In this Climate Matters show live from COP-23 in Bonn, Kevin Anderson of Britain's Tyndall Center and Hugh Hunt of Cambridge University, go at it in a lively discussion of all the loose talk happening about climate change and the lack of meaningful action. A lively and light conversation for a very serious and weighty subject. m.youtube.com/watch?v=skilmEHMsMc |

Jennifer Francis, Ph.D., Rutgers University: Understanding Arctic Climate Change and Extreme Weather Lecture at New England Aquarium Crazy Weather and the Arctic Meltdown: How are they connected? Published on Mar 8, 2018 by New England Aquarium. Jennifer Francis, Ph.D., Research Professor I, Department of Marine and Coastal Sciences, Rutgers University, speaks about the question on everyone’s minds: Why is the weather so crazy? And is it related to climate change? In this presentation, Dr. Francis will explain new research that links increasing extreme weather events with the rapidly warming and melting Arctic during recent decades. Evidence suggests that Arctic warming is causing weather patterns to become more persistent, which can lead to extremes such as droughts, cold spells, heat waves, and some flooding events.

"The Arctic: Ground Zero for Global Change" — Keeling Lecture 2017 Published on Apr 24, 2017 by Institute for Sustainability, Energy, and Environment at the University of Illinois. Illinois Professor Emeritus John E. Walsh delivers the 2017 Keeling lecture, named for Illinois alumnus Charles David Keeling, creator of the famed "Keeling Curve" or "Mauna Loa Curve." Abstract — Climate change is happening faster and with more visible impacts in the Arctic than in most of the rest of the world. The Arctic is warming at a rate of about twice the global average. Arctic amplification of the warming arises from a number of processes, one of which is the albedo-temperature feedback triggered by the loss of ace and snow. We will diagnose the recent Arctic warming in terms of the key drivers, which include external forcing (greenhouse gases) as well as internal variability. Coastal communities and wildlife in the Arctic are especially vulnerable to the ongoing warming. However, climate change in the Arctic is not just a local problem, as what happens in the Arctic does not stay in the Arctic. Sea level rise is augmented by the loss of ice from glaciers and the Greenland Ice Sheet, and there are indications that Arctic amplification affects the large-scale atmospheric circulation that impacts middle latitudes, especially during winter. The trajectory of the Arctic system, especially its ice and snow, varies strongly with the scenario of greenhouse gas emissions. In this respect, human actions can make a major difference in the future of the Arctic as well as the rest of the planet. m.youtube.com/watch?v=pHp8WgTtqak |
