Path Dependence and Tipping Points

From the creator

In this video I explain what physicists mean by "path dependence" or "hysteresis" and "tipping points". I go through the common example for hysteresis using the magnetization of a ferromagnet and talk about tipping points in climate models. A list with tipping points in climate models is here: https://www.pik-potsdam.de/services/infodesk/tipping-elements/kippelemente Here is the reference about the AMOC that I mention: https://www.nature.com/articles/nclimate2554 Here is the figure from the IPCC report: https://www.ipcc.ch/srocc/chapter/chapter-4-sea-level-rise-and-implications-for-low-lying-islands-coasts-and-communities/4-4-responding-to-sea-level-rise/4-4-1introduction/ipcc-srocc-ch_6_9/ Sound from zapsplat.com Support me on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Sabine #physics #science #climate 0:00 Intro 0:22 Chocolate 2:55 Ferromagnet 5:38 Sequins 5:55 Air Condition 6:26 Tipping Points 7:33 AMOC 9:57 Shellenberger
