if we lose the Green and Ice Sheet, or the AMOC, it would be a complete disaster. So, you cannot measure it economically, it's an infinite parameter.

if these tipping points are crossed in the Arctic, then they can cascade through domino effects and hit the Amazon, and then Rainforest and Hit Antarctica
for - example - cascading tipping points via AMOC
example - cascading tipping points via AMOC - As Arctic system melts faster, it releases more freshwater into the North Atlantic - This is happening on the southern tip of Greenland, for example and the lower density of water slows down the AMOC current - Warm saline water flows from the Southern Ocean up into the North Atlantic - When it reaches the southern tip of Greenland, the heat is radiated into the atmosphere and heats up Europe - When the freshwater meltwater from Greenland mixes with this AMOC current, the AMOC water is less heavy and sinks slower - This pushes monsoons further south, which can explain why there are more droughts and fires in the Amazon rainforest - The slowdown of the AMOC leaves more saline water stuck in Antarctica, potentially contributing to the faster melting of Antarctica glaciers
there are other tipping points, like for example, lakes. that can flip over from, you know, oxygen rich, fish rich, clear water lakes into these murky, algal bloom dominated, anoxic states, dead states, based on nutrient loading and overfishing, and that is a Oh, not from climate or temperature.

the future future for education and this is a mega Trend that will last in the next decades is that we use artificial intelligence to tailor um educational let's say or didactic Concepts to the specific person so let's say in in the future everybody will have his or her specific let's say training or education profile he or she will run through and artificial intelligence um will will tailor the different educational environments for everybody in the future this is this is a pre this is a pretty clear Trend
for - AI and education - children will have custom tailored education program via AI

for - comparison - brain vs machine intelligence
comparison - brain vs machine intelligence - the brain is inferior to machine in many ways - many times slower - much less accurate - network of neurons is mostly isolated in its own local environment, not connected to a global network like the internet - Yet, it is able to perform extraordinary things in spite of that - It is able to create meaning out of sensory inputs - Can we really say that a machine can do this?
