Reflections on Abrupt Climate Change

Paul Beckwith, one of my favorite climatologists, remains something of an optimist. Which I respect and appreciate, even as much as I fear he misses much of the biological interconnections and extinctions so well underway. Or, given his brilliance, simply doesn't wish to bring them into the equation.

As much as I appreciate his keeping his videos to 15 minutes, the abrupt endings are a bit disturbing, and I'd personally prefer more, though I know he's trying to operate in the confines of the maximum attention span of all too many or most people watching, at least in the U.S.

Here is an overview that may take more than one viewing to fully grasp what he has to say.
