Dr. James E. Hansen - The truth about global warming, ATLAS25

James E. Hansen is an American climate scientist and former director of NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies. In 2006, Hansen was named one of Time magazine's 100 most influential people. Now Hansen works as Director of Climate Science in Columbia University. In his keynote at ATLAS25 James Hansen is warning the audience of the dangerous feedback loops of Earth Systems Tipping Points (ESTP). Hansens research and statements have been a controversial talking point among the science community, the media and even some of IPCC lead authors. Hansens message is clear – We're running out of time. ATLAS25 was organised to bridge scientific understanding on Earth System Tipping Points (ESTP) with strategic policy-making including approaches to climate intervention research. The aim was to elevate Nordic leadership and cooperation in ESTP risk management as an issue of comprehensive security. While this was an ambitious undertaking, we made important progress. The conference drew 143 participants, with 215 attending the Think Corner session and hundreds viewing the livestream. The recording of this session has already sparked a lot of discussion. Media coverage on ATLAS25, our speakers and messages has had a reach of millions of people through major news outlets like Helsingin Sanomat, Yle news, MTV news, Hufvudstadsbladet, and New story, bringing critical understanding of Earth System Tipping Points to wider public attention. Engaging policymakers more widely in addressing ESTPs requires continuous efforts, although the widespread media coverage has sparked discourse among many policy-makers.
