Humanity is on course to transgress multiple global “tipping points” that could lead to irreversible instability or the complete collapse of ecological and institutional systems, a United Nations report warned Wednesday.
The third annual Interconnected Disaster Risks report from the U.N. University’s Institute for Environment and Human Security found that drastic changes will occur if urgent actions are not taken around six moments when sociological systems are no longer able to buffer risks.
The tipping points include several issues that California is confronting head-on — groundwater depletion, rising insurance costs, extreme heat and species extinction. The other threats are melting glaciers and space debris. According to U.N. officials, “when one system tips, other systems may also be pushed over the edge.”
“The very practical consequence will be that much more people will live under very precarious conditions — so loss of life, loss of livelihood and loss of opportunities,” said Zita Sebesvari, deputy director at the U.N. University Institute.
The tipping points are growing increasingly interconnected through global supply chains, trade and communications networks, the report says.
“We are moving perilously close to the brink of multiple risk tipping points,” the report says. The good news is that it is not too late to make changes to avoid or at least delay the worst possible outcomes.
“We and our behaviors are slowly removing pieces one by one from the base, until at some point the system can no longer cope with the growing instability and it collapses,” O’Connor told reporters Wednesday.

Real scientists don’t guess. Climate is changing...well duh...everything changes. Are we responsible?? Absurd...we are dots in the universe and climate is NOT encapsulated. It moves freely in the universe.
I look forward to a tipping point...into the East River.
The tipping points have nothing to do with climate. They have to do with demographics.
Can we tip already so we can forget about this hoax?
Dear WEF/Globalist/Leftist scum: Shove it.
But, “rising insurance costs” could end civilization as we know it! What would we do without Flo from Progressive, or that little green gecko?
If every nation on earth confiscated every penny beyond bare subsistence from every person and spent it all on “climate”, they could not affect the global temperature by one degree or the sea level by one inch. You cannot change the climate; you must adapt to it.
Day after day, more people come to L. A.
Don’t you tell anybody, the whole place’s slipping away
Where can we go, when there’s no San Francisco?
Better get ready to tie up the boat in Idaho
Do you know the swim, you better learn quick Jim
Those who don’t know the swim, better sing the hymn

"U.N. report warns of catastrophic climate tipping points. California is nearing several"
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
California, the sanctuary state for millions of illegal immigrants who exhale Democratic and RINO-demonized CO2 and are issued drivers licenses to drive gas-fueled vehicles with significant carbon footprints.
As a side note to this post, tax-paying residents of “drought-stricken” California might question what happened to the billions of dollars for upgrading California's reservoirs that they voted to pay for a decade ago.
Californians approved billions for new water storage. Why hasn’t it gotten built? (Non-FR; 1.16.23)
The bottom line is that ALL Democratic and Republican Trump-supporting patriots in the nation need to come to the rescue of California citizens, and citizens being oppressed by other state governments, by primarying all state and federal lawmakers and executives up for reelection in 2024, except for MTG, Gaetz & Company, Jordan (and others?), replacing them with patriot lawmakers who will actually do their constitutionally enumerated duty to guarantee each state a republican form of government.
"Article IV, Section 4 (4.4): The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government [emphasis added], and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence."
After all, lawmakers and executives continue to show that they do not have the patriotism and leadership skills necessary to find legislative support for effective remedies for unconstitutional government policies.
As a side note to this post, consider that probably the main reason that we hear media complaints about the electoral college is the following.
The electoral college is now the only thing stopping the corrupt, constitutionally undefined political parties that have pirated control of state and federal governments from permanently establishing a puppet presidency that will unquestioningly sign unconstitutional taxing and spending bills into law.
We must act now before it is too late again.
When you are thoroughly corrupt, fail in every measure of the real world, codify 4th century barbarians in mass murder, amass an army of blue helmet child see predators, waste trillions of dollars to enrich yourselves and grow your authority, it becomes necessary to promote chaos and danger in that which is not real. The Global Warming, Climate Change, loons are at the end of their run of the past 50 years. There is nothing left but a world war to distract us from the true evil we build and fund.
The UN has become the tip of the spear for the climate BS. No credibility at all.
“The third annual Interconnected Disaster Risks report from the U.N.”
And organization created with the goal of finding disasters will find disasters - real or not.
It’s their reason for existing and growing. If they don’t find and fabricate ever bigger disasters, their reason for existence disappears.
And there is nothing that any organization does better than ensure their existence and growth.
Witness all the bloated, useless government agencies.
A collapse of the UN would be a global victory, let’s strive for that.
Ground water depletion in California is not exactly a global catastrophe. That’s called poor planning & development.
Get the US out of the UN, and UN out of the US.
Blaming "Colonialism" is a new one. They dutifully got that from the far leftists around the world, especially at universities. How the heck can "Colonialism" be responsible for space debris?
Obviously the only cure for the horrifically EVIL "prioritizing profits" and "global demand pressures" is communism. Only capitalism responds to demands from customers and brings them plentiful goods with lot of innovation. Communists can blithely ignore profits and demands -- just look at all the empty store shelves in any and every commie country -- and tell people "Tough luck. Get what you can and you will enjoy it. Be thankful for your day-old stale bread ration."
These people are totally insane.
“How does space debris enter into this?”
They are calming that, once space gets filled up, one little accident will set off a huge chain reaction wiping out every single satellite and they will all fall on your house.
It is PAST time the U.N. was laid to rest.
“They have to do with demographics.”
Yes. And leftists ALWAYS completely ignore that.
