Potential climate tipping points: "(1) runaway loss of ice sheets that accelerate #SeaLevelRise; (2) forests and permafrost releasing carbon stores into the atmosphere, accelerating warming; and (3) the disabling of the ocean circulation system."https://e360.yale.edu/features/as-climate-changes-worsens-a-cascade-of-tipping-points-looms …
"Researchers’ biggest fear is for the future of the ocean circulation system, which moves heat around the world and may dictate global climate."https://e360.yale.edu/features/as-climate-changes-worsens-a-cascade-of-tipping-points-looms …
"Models suggest that the Greenland Ice Sheet could be doomed at 1.5 degrees C [2.7 degrees F] of warming, which could happen as soon as 2030. Exceeding the 3 ice sheet tipping points could cause an irreversible rise in sea levels of ~13 meters (43 feet)."https://e360.yale.edu/features/as-climate-changes-worsens-a-cascade-of-tipping-points-looms …
A diagram of the potential climate tipping points and their interconnections. Based on this new research, scientists say that "we are in a state of planetary emergency."
