Abstract

Climate Change is one of the greatest challenges human beings will face in the 21st century. A large majority of the people do not think climate change is an urgent problem because the impact of climate change is not as dramatic as the COVID epidemic. The impact of climate change will, however, pose an existential threat to all mammals. In this lecture I will discuss the science of climate change. I will show the recent insight from the study of the natural climate change during the past million years indicates that the earth’s climate is not stable and has many tipping points. The ability of human being and other mammals to adapt to global warming beyond 2 degrees C is limited. The high impact but low-probability event like the slowing down of the Atlantic Meridional Ocean Circulation (AMOC) will alter the tropical climate dramatically.
