In recent years, scientists have increasingly warned that the Earth’s climate system is approaching ‘climate tipping points’ These are moments when components of the climate.
Scientists report that warm-water coral reefs have likely already passed a climate tipping point.
KEY POINTS
- Coral reefs' collapse is now considered irreversible in many regions, threatening marine biodiversity and economies.
- Tipping points like ice sheet melt and Amazon dieback may not have sharp temperature thresholds.
- The risk of crossing climate tipping points increases steadily with each fraction of a degree of warming.
- The term 'point of no return' applies to specific climate subsystems, not the entire planet.
