The video tutorial by Liam from Lantern covers the topic of global climate vulnerability and resilience. It begins with an introduction to the atmospheric system, focusing on the natural greenhouse effect and energy balance. The tutorial explains the role of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, water vapor, and methane, and their impact on feedback loops. It also discusses solar radiation, global dimming, and volcanic eruptions, as well as global brightening, sunspots, and the ozone layer. The video aims to help students understand the changing balance of solar and long-wave radiation affecting Earth's climate.
