2. Jet Stream Augments Extreme Weather Surges: The Need for the Mindset in Emergency Medicine.
This four-part series was introduced in Part One, which went on to describe five types of extreme weather that surged during the global warming hiatus of 2002-2012.
Here in the second talk, Professor Calvin presents the jet stream loops that promote the Big Five. Then he addresses the Spectator Mindset that may be keeping even well-informed leaders from acting on climate. He explains the mindset taught in medical schools to guide responding to emergencies and suggests an adaptation of it to guide "climate doctors."
Finally, tipping points are addressed, with a more detailed description of "Gulf Stream" failure mechanisms.
