Fixing climate change is about to accelerate

My name is Simon and I make videos to improve your climate literacy. In particular I focus on the physical Earth system, and how the atmosphere, climate, and climate change intersects with our lives. Sometimes I even try to be funny. Since completing my PhD in atmospheric physics at the University of Exeter, this has been my full time job. I also stream on Twitch, host the How To Make A Science Video podcast, and wrote a book!

The climate tipping points scientists WANT us to hit (and here's how we will) Get yourself 40% off a subscription to Nebula: https://nebula.tv/simonclark Watch this video ad free on Nebula: https://nebula.tv/videos/simonclark-fixing-climate-change-is-about-to-accelerate 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.

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.
