00:00our planet is heating up at a record pace one humanity even with our technology and resilience
00:09might not be able to contend with now a team of over 200 researchers has issued a dire warning
00:14saying we're headed for a pivotal moment in human history one we're not ready for the report looks
00:20specifically at ecological tipping points or climate change will cause massive shifts in
00:25ecosystems and a domino effect of climate catastrophes those include greenland's ice sheet
00:30melting a mass which contains around eight percent of our planet's fresh water that amount of fresh
00:35water into earth's oceans will change currents acidify its waters and raise sea levels substantially
00:40just to name a few issues that will also mean the ocean can't sequester as much carbon from our
00:45atmosphere leading to higher greenhouse gas concentrations and more warming see domino
00:50effect the researchers focused on quantifying the financial and human costs of such catastrophic
00:55changes saying it could cost us trillions of dollars in climate damage however they say
01:00climate change has already led to food scarcity for over 27 million children globally that number
01:05is only expected to rise as droughts and other climate events take hold in regions that have
01:10been relatively unaffected thus far the report concludes by saying that the way we've been doing
01:15things is now over and that if things don't change our species will pay the cost
