    Many things just happened worldwide. Why assume that everyone is this preoccupied with the American election? That said, I did not notice what community this was on. It just popped up on my feed, and the realist in me felt that i had to add this comment. It is not about politics, hope or anything in particular. The lecture that I mention was about the climate, and in particular about the AMOC current in the atlantic ocean. It is an unstable system in itself, that affects a wide range of other unstable systems such as:

    The Greenland Ice Sheet
    West Antarctic Ice Sheet
    The Amazon Rainforest
    The Boreal Permafrost

    None of it was about the american politics and the recent ellection. I wouldn’t even call that an unstable system to be fair!

    I found it relevant, as the definition of tipping points is, that you can’t always revert from the point past the tipping point.
