Description: Climate presentation including links to what I believe are dramatic videos of what’s happening to the Greenland ice sheet and methane escaping from thawing permafrost below a lake in Alaska. (First presented in March, 2012)

Key issues:

  • The science, including amplifying feedbacks
  • Tipping points, including examples and recent developments

    – Greenland ice cap
    – Methane clathrates/hydrates (permafrost and ocean sediments)
  • Implications
  • Denialism and media reporting
  • Essential measures
