Wake Up, Freak Out – then Get a Grip

It’s much, much later than you think

Tipping point ahead.

This really isn’t about polar bears any more. At this very moment, the fate of civilization itself hangs in the balance.

It turns out that the way we have been calculating the future impacts of climate change up to now has been missing a really important piece of the picture.

Wake Up, Freak Out - then Get a Grip is a short, animated film about climate change by Leo Murray. View it here, or read the script, with extensive references and additional links:
