Fossil fuel emissions from human activity are driving up Earth's temperature. Less well known is that this warming has set in motion nature’s own feedback loops, which are raising temperatures even higher. Northern Light Productions produced Climate Emergency: Feedback Loops, a series of five short films that explore climate feedback loops and what can be done to minimize them before they wreak more havoc on the environment. Narrated by Richard Gere, the films feature twelve world-renowned climate scientists who are conducting cutting-edge research on feedback loops.
The first film introduces the concept of feedback loops and its relation to climate change with the aid of animations and interviews. It also provides an overview on the important ongoing research into these trends. Separate videos cover the four main feedback loops related to our climate: Forests, Permafrost, Atmosphere, and Albedo.

While these loops are already in motion, we already have the knowledge and technology to slow, halt, and reverse them before we reach a dangerous tipping point. We just need to take action, now. The films provide us with encouragement and steps to help restore balance to our climate.
To launch the films, the Mind & Life Institute hosted a free livestream event that brought His Holiness the Dalai Lama and climate activist Greta Thunberg together in conversation joined by two leading scientists.
On the film website, the films are available to watch in 20 languages and educational curriculum and discussion guides are provided.
