Subject: [350 SV Chat] Weather Channel mini-series on Climate Change - "Tipping Points" Saturday evenings
  


It’s 6:25 pm Saturday night as I type this email, and I just stumbled on the 4th episode of a brand new mini-series about Climate Change on the Weather Channel called “Tipping Points”.
 
The series airs new episodes every Saturday from 6-7 pm, and then repeats it at 9-10 pm and again at 12 midnight to 1 am if you want to set your DVR to record it.
 
Somewhat surreal watching this episode, as at the break, the live Weather Channel announcer gave an update on Super Typhoon Haiyan, which has slowed in intensity after racing through the Philippines (death toll still unknown since communications down in much of the country) and is now headed towards Viet Nam.  What better way to underscore the emergency and urgency of enacting meaningful changes globally no!

Here’s a brief description of the miniseries: 

Together with the assistance of NASA, JAXA and leading Universities from all over the world, Tipping Points aggregates data to be analyzed and provides a clear timeline to change on this planet. Will we be ready?
Hosted by Climate Journalist and adventurer Bernice Notenboom, Tipping Points embraces commentary from leading climate scientists surveying the complexity of the major tipping points effecting our current climate and their impact on changing weather patterns around the globe.
Adventurous and informative, Tipping Points explores the interconnectedness of all the elements that make up our climate system that influence global and local weather patterns. The Earth is in a delicate equilibrium; once one factor reaches its respective tipping point the other factors will also breach stability. As the atmosphere heats up and the chemical makeup of the atmosphere shifts there will be repercussions felt on a global scale. These elements are what Bernice and her team of climate authorities are going to explore is some of the most remote locations on the planet.
From the canopies of The Amazon to the ice sheets of Siberia, these climate specialists will chase answers to behavioral patterns of tipping elements in the climate system affecting our weather systems.
How close to tipping are we? When will these climates tip and what will be the indicators? How will our climate and weather patterns be affected once stability has been ruptured? Will large-scale discontinuities be the biggest cause for climate catastrophes in this century? These are the questions Tipping Points dares to ask, and further answer.
Floods, droughts, extreme monsoons, fires, heat waves and hurricanes will be the indicator of the extent to which the weather can push, and how these life-threatening weather occurrences will effect weather norms on a global scale.
Join the world’s pre-eminent scientist as they go off the grid to explore the dangerous new tipping points making our weather systems more extreme and unpredictable. Discover the elements destabilizing our climate system and how these changes impact weather systems around the world.
Tune in to The Weather Channel's ground breaking docu-series, Tipping Points on October 19 at 9/8 C.

I hope you get a chance to watch some of the episodes and add to your knowledge and awareness of the effects being seen around the world already in 2013.
