Humanity Is on the Verge of 5 Climate ‘Tipping Points,’ Report Warns
- A scientific assessment led by the University of Exeter warns that the world is at risk of breaching numerous climate tipping points that could lead to irreversible changes to Earth's system.
- Five tipping points are currently at risk, including the collapse of major ice sheets and the death of warm-water coral reefs. Three more tipping points could be reached by the 2030s.
- The report highlights the urgent need to strengthen adaptation and take action to prevent tipping points, as well as the importance of pursuing positive tipping points, such as the widespread adoption of electric vehicles.

Omenirea este la un pas să depășească 5 praguri climatice critice ce vor declanșa o „cascadă devastatoare” cu efecte ireparabile
Multe dintre cele mai mari pericole care ne amenință planeta sunt la un pas să se declanșeze, pe măsură ce poluarea aerului face ca Pământul să se încălzească atingând niveluri de temperatură fără precedent, au avertizat oamenii de știință, scrie The Guardian.
Riscaldamento globale, vicini al raggiungimento di 5 dei 25 "punti di non ritorno" climatici. Lo studio
È più vicino di quanto non lo sia mai stato (e di quanto si potesse pensare) il raggiungimento di cinque dei 25 tipping point climatici. Ossia quel livello oltre il quale un cambiamento, in questo caso dovuto al riscaldamento globale, diventa inarrestabile e incontrollabile. Letteralmente, un punto di non ritorno. E questi tipping point sono lo scioglimento dei ghiacciai in Groenlandia e nell’Antartico occidentale, del permafrost che copre inter…
Climate tipping points are nearer than you think – our new report warns of catastrophic risk
lugazzotti / shutterstockIt’s now almost inevitable that 2023 will be the warmest year ever recorded by humans, probably the warmest for at least 125,000 years. Multiple temperature records were smashed with global average temperatures for some periods well above 1.5°C. Antarctic sea ice loss is accelerating at frightening rates along with many other indicators of rapid climate change. Does this mean 2023 is the year parts of the climate tip in…
