"There’s even worse to come if temperatures continue to rise. The planet is on the brink of several more tipping points as it’s all but certain to breach the globally agreed goal of limiting warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, according to the report."

“'This grim situation must be a wake-up call that unless we act decisively now, we will also lose the Amazon rainforest, the ice sheets and vital ocean currents,” Barrett said. “In that scenario, we would be looking at a truly catastrophic outcome for all humanity.'”

I love that they characterize it as the “first” tipping point. That gives them flexibility to continue to write scare articles about a whole list of subsequent tipping points.

I burst out laughing after reading the title. This climate nonsense is becoming hysterical!

Here’s how real science works. An hypothesis is presented. Challenges to that hypothesis are welcomed, even encouraged. Debate is seen as healthy.

Here’s how Climate Change works. Accept the official narrative. No debate is permitted. After all, it’s “settled science”.

A wise old saying:

If it’s science, it’s not settled.
If it’s settled, it’s not science.

Geologist, Professor Ian Plimer, utterly demolishes the human-induced "climate emergency" fairy tale in three and a half minutes...

Very worth the watch.

Uhh, “New reality”? I’ve been hearing this crap for 30 years or more. What’s new about it? What’s real about it? The reality is we are still here, N.Y. City is not underwater, the beaches are still there and the polar bears are thriving. Can the hysterics, have a beer.

Wake me up when the climate stabilizes and never changes again. Then I’ll worry.

“ The planet is grappling with a “new reality” as it reaches the first in a series of catastrophic and potentially irreversible climate tipping points”

Ridiculous.

I’m sure that 97% of scientists say glowbull warming is causing Silver to rise to $50 and Gold to $4100.

It’s settled finances.

What BS

Coral near enough to be observed is often killed off by idiot divers who graze the coral with their fins, sometimes by these very same “scientists.”

Any skilled diver knows not to touch the coral. (a) Coral hurts if touched by open skin, and (b) coral dies easily when touched — it’s a PH thing — or hit by a fin. Those great big things most people think of as coral are not the actual animals who create and maintain the coral. Those little critters are actually very small.

This has nothing to do with the scam called “climate change.” It’s just more of the same BS.

PS Yes, the climate is changing. We are still coming out of an ice age. Any real scientist knows this.

So, how much do we have to tip these “scientists” to make them go away? Tipping point, my arse.
