Wolfgang Cramer is an environmental geographer and global ecologist who is research director (CNRS) at the Mediterranean Institute for Biodiversity and Ecology (IMBE), in Aix-en-Provence, Marseille and Avignon (France). This is not a video about 'collapse-ology' but Wolfgang presents the fundamentals of earth system science in an attempt to show the physical and biological capacities of the Earth. He shows future projections and observations of the severity of the acceleration of climate change and also takes into account the social and human factors of this.
