"Climate change is already having sweeping effects on every
continent and throughout the world's oceans, scientists
report...and they warned that the problem was likely to grow
substantially worse unless greenhouse emissions are brought under
control. The report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate
Change, a United Nations group that periodically summarizes climate
science, concluded that ice caps are melting, sea ice in the Arctic
is collapsing, water supplies are coming under stress, heat waves
and heavy rains are intensifying, coral reefs are dying, and fish
and many other creatures are migrating toward the poles or in some
cases going extinct. The oceans are rising at a pace that threatens
coastal communities and are becoming more acidic as they absorb
some of the carbon dioxide given off by cars and power plants,
which is killing some creatures or stunting their growth, the
report found...etc" - New York Times, March 31st, 2014. A must read
about our most pressing global issue: Climate Change: Tipping
Points Tipping Points are in many ways, influenced by media. This
just released, ground-breaking book by Dr Philip Gordon, Ph.D
details the Climate Change issue which is analyzed on the basis of
Tipping Point Theory Attributes and Characteristics. Currently,
media contagiousness and stickiness are influencing the Climate
Change "epidemic" with contrasting and misleading information and
soon the "dramatic moment in time" will arrive, where the
culmination of man made impacts will be irreversible, which are
characterized by the phenomenon known as: the Tipping Point. As the
issue of Climate Change is still evolving, Dr Gordon provides a
methodology and parameters for analyzing and predicting our
planets' most pressing global issue. The challenge is to harness
and focus our global media agendas and priorities before it's too
late. Dr Philip Gordon, Ph.D was awarded his doctorate (with
honors) from the Centre d'Etudes Diplomatiques et Strategegues
(CEDS) Paris, France and graduated with his masters while on a
full-fellowship from Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, Maryland.
He currently lives in Burgundy, France with his wife and two sons.
Peer Review Comments: "The genius of the formulation of Climate
Change Tipping Point Theory is that it takes explicit account of
the role of social media and the internet at facilitating
bifurcations and promoting dynamical instability. In effect, we
have trimmed a few feet of tail off the kite. As a reader, I was
informed and educated as to the factors which conspire to influence
stability / instability in complex social systems...the book does a
good job of making sense of past bifurcations and dynamical
instabilities, namely political instability, our perception of
global climate change...my compliments on a truly insightful book."

can become aware of future global events. Excellent " - Dr. Derek
El Zein, PhD Professor, Avocat, Expert: Communications " ...a very
insightful approach to the theory and our future possibilities. I
am passing it along to my colleagues, thanks for sharing this with
me." - Dr. Ralph Morehouse, PhD "The application of the tipping
point theory qualitative ratio analysis to media and global events,
is a fascinating one." - Dr. Serge Besanger, PhD Expert,
International Monetary Fund ..".very interesting application (of
the Tipping Point Theory)...potential opportunity for predicting
other global events." - Dr. Adam Ajlani, PhD Professor, Sciences
Politic and Political Consultant, France TV1 ..".very innovative
approach to modeling very complex studies for comparison.
Well-suited for similar types of analysis." - Dr. Emmanuel Caulier,
