… Five important natural thresholds already risk being crossed, according to the Global Tipping Points report (https://global-tipping-points.org/), and three more may be reached in the 2030s if the world heats 1.5C (2.7F) above pre-industrial temperatures.
… The tipping points at risk include the collapse of big ice sheets in Greenland and the West Antarctic, the widespread thawing of permafrost, the death of coral reefs in warm waters, and the collapse of one oceanic current in the North Atlantic.
Unlike other changes to the climate such as hotter heatwaves and heavier rainfall, these systems do not slowly shift in line with greenhouse gas emissions but can instead flip from one state to an entirely different one. When a climatic system tips – sometimes with a sudden shock – it may permanently alter the way the planet works.
Scientists warn that there are large uncertainties around when such systems will shift but the report found that three more may soon join the list. These include mangroves and seagrass meadows, which are expected to die off in some regions if the temperatures rise between 1.5C and 2C, and boreal forests, which may tip as early as 1.4C of heating or as late as 5C.

In its latest review of climate change science, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change found that tipping thresholds were unclear but the dangers would grow more likely as the planet heats up.

Climate change fanatics should be applauding this. They want to reduce the planet population by 5 to 6 billion or so.
We have some of the best-known climate-scientists in the world, with John Kerry, Al Gore, Joe Biden, and the whole democrat congress. It’s a government composed of only climate scientists. And their science publishers are the likes of the liberal media.
Global financial ruin was started on the first day that the climate ‘scientists’ decided to warn the world of the coming catastrophe of either global cooling or global warming. We all lose no matter what.
So far, I don’t see that either has bothered us, so...
I grew up in a time when science was explored by sober people who probably knew what a ‘fact’ was and why it was important.
We’re all gonna die! There will be more plants, more green, and it’ll be WARMER! Horror of all horrors!
Maybe, could be, possibly; we will need more money to study this existential crisis.

a rare occasion where “climate alarmists” BBC call out a big lie being spread by Al Gore, whilst still suggesting “floods, droughts, storms and sea level rise” are caused by anthropogenic climate change caused by CO2!
AUDIO: 8m58s: 2 Dec: BBC World Service: More or Less: Will there be a billion climate refugees?
Former Vice President Al Gore has said that climate change is predicted to lead to a billion climate refugees.
But where do these predictions come from and are they realistic?
We investigate the idea that floods, droughts, storms and sea level rise will cause a mass migration of people across borders.

Yup...
IOW, the usual solutions.
Tax us and take away m ore of our freedoms.
I'm all for lower heating bills and a longer growing season.
the only thing we have to fear
are the government solutions
How about 25 tripping points and we only haven 7 years to save the earth?
Would you believe a cow farted in the field next door and it's going to stink any minute now?
Do. Not. Care.
Bring it on.
7 years? They’re confused. They thinking of Revelation.
Uh huh, do any of these folks writing this stuff have life insurance? Vacation plans for the next several years?
If they believe the crap they are spewing, they should have no future plans, right?
I vote in favor of sacrificing Greta Thunberg.
Nothing beats the Mayan calendar hysteria.
/wish I’d written a lying book about it. I’d be rich and still here
Has anyone started comparing this to the Great Permian Extinction yet?
Looking for our Blessed hope.
Good; I won’t have to shovel snow anymore.
