Blinks (blogs/links)

Let's start our new series of blinks with a super creative animation about the climate's tipping point. It takes 11 minutes of your time (which is a bit long, I admit) but you will probably remember the images for as long as you live. (Also suitable for younger viewers, no worries). The creator of the film does not claim to depict the view of all scientists in the world, which is good to keep in mind, because there will always be diverging opinions about science. Especially when the subject matter is how the earth's eco-system is about to behave. But if we keep being sceptical we might be too late. By the time everyone believed smoking was bad for your health, millions of people had already died from the effects.

What I like about this film, is that it visualizes a difficult subject, making it more clear. Thereby hopefully contributing to a sense of urgency to collectively change our ways. 

This little ball called earth does not have it's own PR department, so some creative humans will need to speak for it. Check out: Wake Up, Freak Out.
