Does talking about climate "tipping points" inspire action — or defeat?

Salon  

Climate tipping points are a specter looming over our future — thresholds beyond which the Earth’s systems switch into new states, often abruptly and irreversibly. Kopp said that the emphasis on climate tipping points might have made sense as a call to action 20 years ago, when the consequences of climate change weren’t so obvious. “Most importantly, tipping points are …

Africa dramatically dried out 5,500 years ago

The Hindu  

Around five and half millenia ago, northern Africa went through a dramatic transformation. This transition from the most recent “African humid period”, which lasted from 15,000 to 5,500 years ago, to the current dry conditions in northern Africa is the clearest example of a climate tipping point in recent geological history. We see the same types of flickering during a …

Rise in 1.5C can trigger climate tipping points

The Hindu  

Floods in Assam, Bangladesh, Pakistan and Australia; drought and wildfire in California, China and southern Europe; tornadoes in the USA. Now, a study published in the Science journal has stated that a rise of 1.5 from pre-industrial levels can trigger multiple climate tipping points. That’s really worrying, and underlines just how important striving to keep to the Paris Agreement aim …

Four major climate tipping points are close to triggering, study says

LA Times  

An international team of scientists looked at 16 climate tipping points and calculated rough temperature thresholds at which they are triggered. Even if the world somehow manages to limit future warming to the strictest international temperature goal, four Earth-changing climate “tipping points” are still likely to be triggered — with a lot more looming — as the planet continues to …

Earth's 'vital signs' are deteriorating due to business-as-usual approach: Study

Firstpost  

There has been an “unprecedented surge” in climate-related disasters, including flooding, heatwaves, wildfires and cyclones all over the world. The global economy’s business-as-usual approach to climate change has seen Earth’s “vital signs” deteriorate to record levels, an influential group of scientists said Wednesday, warning that several climate tipping points were now imminent. “We need to respond to the evidence that …

Thousands of scientists warn climate tipping points ‘imminent’

Al Jazeera  

Researchers say ‘overexploitation of the Earth’ has seen many of its ‘vital signs’ deteriorate to record levels. The researchers, part of a group of more than 14,000 scientists who have signed on to an initiative declaring a worldwide climate emergency, said in an article published in the journal BioScience on Wednesday that governments had consistently failed to address “the overexploitation …
