From Climate Indicators to Biosphere Collapse: Peter Carter
Climate change indicators now climate catastrophe indicators. All still getting worse faster. Now carbon sinks decline. All being ignored. No action and no demand for action, so the world is being doomed by general denial.
For many years Dr. Peter Carter has published thoughtful, well-researched summaries about the state of the climate. His presentations are sober; they can even be rather dry. But the quiet manner in which he speaks adds to the force of his message.
His latest YouTube video (2024-10-17) is here. It is quite lengthy (just under 25 minutes). But I strongly recommend watching it in its entirety.
He starts his presentation with the following words (I have edited the transcript for clarity).
Hello I'm Peter Carter and I'm going to show you what I spend a lot of time doing, and that is following and recording the climate change indicators for the Climate Emergency Institute.
The emergency climate change indicators are now climate catastrophe indicators. The conclusion that I make is that considering all of these climate change indicators together the situation is one of a trend towards biosphere collapse.
<my emphasis>
So, this soft-spoken gentleman has moved from talking about climate indicators to biosphere collapse.
