Tipping Points. Useful or Disturbing?

What this episode covers

A global warming of a one and a half degrees and then it's too late. We all know this ecological tipping point or turning point. But scientists have identified more than twenty tipping points, and they all interact. Think for example of water shortages, food security and impacts on the economy. But it's not all doom and gloom: there are also positive tipping points. How are these critical thresholds intertwined? And how should we relate to these tipping points? Do tipping points offer hope and support, or mostly a lot of fear and uncertainty? Listen to systems scientist Sibel Eker and environmental philosopher Marc Davidson explore the tensions and interplay between dozens of tipping points. Tipping Points.

Maar wetenschappers hebben er meer dan twintig geïdentificeerd, en die spelen allemaal op elkaar in. Denk aan watertekorten, voedselzekerheid en gevolgen voor de economie. Maar het is niet alleen kommer en kwel: er zijn ook positieve omslagpunten. Hoe zijn deze kritieke drempels met elkaar verweven? En hoe moeten we ons tot deze kantelpunten verhouden? Bieden omslagpunten hoop en houvast, of vooral veel angst en onzekerheid? Luister naar systeemwetenschapper Sibel Eker en milieufilosoof Marc Davidson en ontdek de spanningen en het samenspel tussen de tientallen omslagpunten. Tipping Points.
