Wake Up, Freak Out - then Get a Grip

This is my brother's film about positive feedback loops and tipping points in climate change. It's beautifully put together, alarming, highly informative and very accessible. What he's looking at are admittedly worst-case scenarios, but disturbingly likely ones. If you're not convinced, here's the script with extensive references, etc., and here's a broadly approving blog post about it on the Nature site.

If you like it, maybe pass it on. This stuff is important!

I've posted it on my MySpace, which is where I regularly blog. Please tell him how much The Boy and I admired it. Which was quite a lot.

Weirdly, although the correct vid is embedded here, viewing from my friends page I get this. I think this may be due to an ongoing problem with bits of LJ speaking to each other that has caused some flist and icon problems in the past while also.

Erm. How disturbing. It works okay when *I* look at your friends page, fwiw.
