Is This the ABSOLUTE Worst CaseTipping Point?

Venus may have once had oceans and a mild climate—until a runaway greenhouse effect pushed it past a tipping point. In this episode of Weathered, Maiya May explores how volcanic carbon, extreme CO₂, and even collapsing stratocumulus clouds could destabilize a planet’s climate. Earth isn’t becoming Venus—but studying Venus shows what happens when a planet loses its brakes.
