Climate Extremes

Single-handedly the best video on Climate Change.

50 mins long - should be compulsory viewing in global Parliaments and schools.

Available for free on YouTube, with a variety of foreign-language subsitles.

Interviews with some top climate change experts who successully cover the science in a clear and precise way, alongside well-chosen graphics and stock global footage.

A really well done documentary.

It does especially well in explaining complex topics of climate science in an understandable and fascinating way. Many of the scientists that are interviewed, are from the highly cited Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research and actually publish research in these fields. Their explanations are accompanied with beautiful and informative visuals.

I have a minor critique: Some parts could be a bit more specific, especially more information on tippings points, regional vs global impact and how far we are from reaching them. Then again, the documentation is already ~52 minutes and I understand that it is near impossible to find the right balance of depth.

In my opinion, this is one of the best documentaries on climate change and tipping points out there.

Excellent and straight-forward discussion of the facts of a tipping point challenge for Earth.

Graphics are excellent. A little more step by step explanation of what the individual graphs were depicting might have been useful; NASA's cylinder of temperature changes for example. Classroom teachers might find that they would want to pause the video and examine the graphics with their students. And of course we have that ever present challenge for American audiences who have no idea what Celsius means (a sparkling soda here in the US). The science terminaology is appropriate for Earth Science majors at the college level. But the film is still useful for the science attentive general audience. Credit should be given to the producers and all the participants. Thank you for your work.
