In recent videos I have discussed the major Earth System Tipping Points that we are fast approaching.

Here, I chat about how these nonlinear climate changes are likely to impact society. In fact climate change is already having profound impacts to human societies and is decreasing our resilience and even agency to respond.

Already, we are seeing increased societal breakdowns, social unrest, more conflicts, radicalization and polarization, and overall dysfunction and “anomie”. Anomie is an old sociological term for individuals losing interest and touch and connection with their communities.

For example, people living in high-rise buildings often don’t care about or even know anybody in their buildings, even next door neighbours.

As climate change accelerates rapidly, we are losing our window to respond in any meaningful way.

I discuss various case studies of interactions and connections between climate, physical changes, societal impacts, and effects for:
- AMOC collapse
- coral reef collapse
- Lake Chad drying up
- Amazon Rainforest Collapse
- Arab Spring

Basically, we are all connected. Nothing happens in a vacuum. Cascading domino like effects are all around us.
