What is the freefall?

Well, the freefall is, um, something we, we have to be very careful here because some people get, um, think that once we have passed a, a certain warming level, then the, the global warming will self-amplify itself.

And even without us burning further co-coal, oil and gas, the temperature will further increase.

Um, that is not the case.

Um, if we stop burning oil, gas and coal, the temperature will increase for a little bit, but then it will stabilize.

And on Earth, we will not have a so-called runaway greenhouse effect.

I would just wanna make this very clear because people get into panic when they hear about a climate freefall and, and, and think of this possible scenario that we've seen on Venus, but we won't be seeing on Earth.

So how can we understand the relationships between the news that we see on television or experience of extreme events around us and this process of tipping points which we don't see?
