quote - social tipping points - Johan Rockstrom - (see below) - We know from previous large transitions in history that - You never change the world by having everyone on board.. - You change the world by having large enough minorities<br /> - that can tip quite inert majority to move in the right direction. - When you look at the world of sustainability. - in many societies in the world, we are actually a double digit penetration - on sustainable solutions, - on people's awareness, - on willingness to even politically vote for green or, sustainable options. - So we're very close to that positive tipping point as well. - and that's another reason why it's not the moment to back down. - Now is the moment to just increase momentum.

planetary emergency - risk analysis - risk = probability x impact - If impact is high, then even low probability x high impact means high risk - If AMOC or Greenland icesheet melts, the impact is so high that it is not even economically measurable

for - example - cascading tipping points via AMOC

example - cascading tipping points via AMOC - As Arctic system melts faster, it releases more freshwater into the North Atlantic - This is happening on the southern tip of Greenland, for example and the lower density of water slows down the AMOC current - Warm saline water flows from the Southern Ocean up into the North Atlantic - When it reaches the southern tip of Greenland, the heat is radiated into the atmosphere and heats up Europe - When the freshwater meltwater from Greenland mixes with this AMOC current, the AMOC water is less heavy and sinks slower - This pushes monsoons further south, which can explain why there are more droughts and fires in the Amazon rainforest - The slowdown of the AMOC leaves more saline water stuck in Antarctica, potentially contributing to the faster melting of Antarctica glaciers

In complex real world issues, there is often no incentive structure - Real life isn't all 1-1 interactions

• author: Manjana Miikoreit

• date: Nov 17, 2022

• abstract

  • The last few years have witnessed an explosion of interest in the concept of social tipping points (STPs),
    • understood as nonlinear processes of transformative change in social systems.
  • A growing body of interdisciplinary scholarship has been focusing in particular on social tipping related to climate change.
  • In contrast with tipping point studies in the natural sciences–for example
    • climate tipping points and
    • ecological regime shifts–
  • STPs are often conceptualized as desirable, offering potential solutions to pressing problems.
  • Drawing on
    • a well-established definition for tipping points, and
    • a qualitative review of articles that explicitly treat social tipping points as potential solutions to climate change,
  • this article identifies four deleterious patterns in the application of the STP concept in this recent wave of research on nonlinear social change:
    • (i) premature labeling,
    • (ii) not defining system boundaries and scales of analysis,
    • (iii) not providing evidence for all characteristics of tipping processes, and
    • (iv) not making use of existing social theories of change.
  • Jointly, these patterns create a trend of overusing the concept.
  • Recognizing and avoiding these patterns of “seeing the world through tipping point glasses” is important for
    • the quality of scientific knowledge generated in this young field of inquiry and for
    • future science-policy interactions related to climate change.
  • Future research should seek to
    • identify empirical evidence for STPs while remaining open to the possibility that
      • many social change processes are not instances of tipping, or that
      • certain systems might not be prone to nonlinear change.

• for: system justification theory, status quo bias

• summary

  • Supporting their hypotheses, the authors identify a general trend that social marginalization is associated with less system-justification.
  • Those benefitting from the status quo (e.g., healthier, wealthier, less lonely) were more likely to hold system-justifying beliefs.
  • However, some groups who are disadvantaged within the existing system reported higher system-justification—suggesting that
    • system oppression may be a key moderator of the effect of social position on system justification.
  • This is a very important finding and could be used to develop more effective social tipping point strategies

• abstract

  • Physical tipping points have gained a lot of attention in global and climate change research to understand the conditions for system transitions when it comes to the atmosphere and the biosphere.
  • Social tipping points have been framed as mechanisms in socio-environmental systems, where a small change in the underlying elements or behavior of actors triggers a large non-linear response in the social system.
  • With climate change becoming more acute, it is important to know whether and how societies can adapt.
  • While social tipping points related to climate change have been associated with positive or negative outcomes,
    • overstepping adaptation limits has been linked to adverse outcomes where actors' values and objectives are strongly compromised.
  • Currently, the evidence base is limited, and most of the discussion on social tipping points in climate change adaptation and risk research is conceptual or anecdotal.
  • This paper brings together three strands of literature -
    • social tipping points,
    • climate adaptation limits and
    • systemic risks,
  • which so far have been separate.
  • Furthermore, we discuss
    • methods and
    • models
  • used to illustrate the dynamics of
    • social and
    • adaptation tipping points
  • in the context of cascading risks at different scales beyond adaptation limits.
  • We end with suggesting that further evidence is needed to identify tipping points in social systems,
    • which is crucial for developing appropriate governance approaches.

Im Meer bei Florida wurde eine Oberflächentemperatur von 38,43°C gemessen – möglicherweise ein neuer globaler Rekord. Der Bericht des Guardian geht auf andere marine Hitzewellen und Studien über ihre Zunahme ein. Nach Daten der amerikanischen Wetterbehörde NOAA wurden in diesem Jahr schon im April, Mai und Juni Rekorde bei der Oberflächentemperatur der Ozeane gebrochen. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/jul/25/florida-ocean-temperatures-hot-tub-extreme-weather

Eine neue Studie hält es für möglich, dass das Strömungssystem im Nordatlantik seinen Zustand schon in wenigen Jahren so verändert, dass der Golfstrom zusammenbricht. Die Modellierung basiert auf Messungen der Oberflächentemperatur des Nordatlantik seit 1850. Sie legt nahe, dass zwischen 2025 und 2095 ein Kipppunkt erreicht wird, wenn weiter Treibhausgase in die Atmosphäre gepumpt werden. An der Aussagekraft der Daten bestehen aber noch Zweifel. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/07/25/climate/atlantic-ocean-tipping-point.html

• The Buddha taught that everything is
  • connected and
  • constantly changing.
• These fundamental observations of the world are shared by
  • ecology and
  • evolution.
• We are living in a time of unprecedented rates of extinction.
• Science provides us with the information that we need to address this extinction crisis.
• However, the problems underlying extinction generally do not result from a lack of scientific understanding,
  • but they rather result from an unwillingness to take the needed action.

• I present mindfulness and meditative aspects of Zen practice that provide the deeper “knowing,” or awareness that we need to inspire action on these problems.

• Aboard the research ship RV Laurence M. Gould,
• cruising along Antarctica’s west coast, - - Carlos Moffat, chief scientist, Palmer Long Term Ecological Research Program:
• “Even as somebody who’s been looking at these changing systems for a few decades, I was taken aback by what I saw, by the degree of warming that I saw… We don’t know how long this is going to last. We don’t fully understand the consequences of this kind of event, but this looks like an extraordinary marine heatwave”

• Antarctica ocean warning
• extraordinary amount of heat
• in the Ocean
• in order to warm it this much

• There is an extraordinary amount of heat in the Antarctic ocean to warm it up to this degree.

• Question: is it too late? Have we already reached the Antarctic tipping point?

• 25% social tipping point threshold is adjustable

• going from just below 25% to just above 25% results in a dramatic change in adoption of a new norm

• = 25% Social Tipping Point
• A committed minority group pushing for change just below 25% of the total group population does not succeed
• but when the committed minority is just above 25%,
• abrupt change in group dynamics quickly causes a majority of the population to adopt the new norm

!- cascading tipping points : example - melting Greenland glacier dumps cold fresh water into North Atlantic - excess cold water shows down the AMOC current - a slower AMOC causes monsoons to move further south - this causes drought and forest fires in Amazon rainforest and warms the southern oceans - warning southern oceans accelerates melting of Antarctica ice sheets

!- comment : slowing AMOC - can also affect many other processes - https://www.sciencefriday.com/segments/atlantic-ocean-currents-amoc/

!- 16 tp elements : interconnected global climate system

!- Title : Leading the charge through earth’s new normal !- speakers : Johan Rockstrom et al.

!- key finding : citizenship is a trusteeship - in which the individual takes on responsibility to participate in upholding the mutually agreed principles and promises leading to collective human self-realization - the individual works with others to collective realize this dream which affects all individuals within the group

!- implement : TPF / DH / SRG -implement this education program globally as part of Stop Reset Go / Deep Humanity training that recognizes the individual collective entanglement and include in the Tipping Point Festival as well
