Double-pendulum. Lowest energy mode where both pendulums are in sync. First half of video, not enough energy to go chaotic. Second half of video, I increase the amplitude just a little bit and it goes chaotic.
Climate Change is more complex than this. Instability is biggest sign of #ClimateChange.
You can play with the double-pendulum simulation here. Or build one using low-friction bearings. Maybe your local physics high school classroom has one to try?
