    1. one thing we have noticed with these stresses is that uh from most of them we see these three 00:11:11 phenomena the stresses are amplifying accelerating and synchronizing uh simultaneously
      • for: pernicious cascades - qualities, stats - pernicious cascade, synchronized crisis

      • stats - pernicious cascades - climate change

      • Pernicious cascades - qualities
        • amplifying
          • global mean temp
            • in 2000: 0.72 Deg C warmer than pre-industrial (1850)
            • in 2020 1.2 Deg C warmer than pre-industrial
        • accelerating
          • warming per decade:
            • 1970 to 2010 - 0.18 Deg C / decade
            • 2010 to 2040 - 0.27 Deg C / decade
        • syncrhonizing
          • many systems are becoming unstable:
            • higher inflation
            • higher levels of precarity
            • higher levels of inequality

          • instead, invisible synchronization and causality between events
          • our research reveals the invisible connections
