In der Klimawissenschaft ist ein Kipppunkt definiert als "eine kritische Schwelle, jenseits derer sich ein System neu organisiert, oft abrupt und/oder irreversibel" (Lenton et al., 2008). Hier sind 10 #Kipppunkte, die für uns zunehmend an Bedeutung gewonnen haben.

"Einige der im #IPCC-Bericht erörterten abrupten Klimaänderungen und Kipppunkte könnten schwerwiegende lokale Klimareaktionen nach sich ziehen, wie extreme Temperaturen, Dürren, Waldbrände, Verlust der Eisschilde und Zusammenbruch der thermohalinen Zirkulation.

Es gibt Hinweise auf abrupte Veränderungen in der Erdgeschichte, und einige dieser Ereignisse wurden als Kipppunkte interpretiert (Dakos et al., 2008). Einige davon sind mit bedeutenden Veränderungen des globalen Klimas verbunden, wie z. B. die Interglaziale im Quartär (vor 2,5 Millionen Jahren) und die rasche Erwärmung während des thermischen Maximums im Paläozän und Eozän (vor etwa 55,5 Millionen Jahren; Bowen et al., 2015; Hollis et al., 2019).

Solche Ereignisse veränderten das planetare Klima für zehn- bis hunderttausende von Jahren, aber mit einer Geschwindigkeit, die tatsächlich viel langsamer ist als der projizierte anthropogene Klimawandel in diesem Jahrhundert, selbst wenn es keine Kipppunkte gibt" (IPCC, 2021).

Stand with Txai Suruí in delivering this message to world leaders:
"We, all those who have signed an Avaaz petition in defense of the #AmazonForest and its peoples, unite in one single public outcry. As citizens of the world concerned about humanity’s future and moved by love for our Amazon forest, we urge you to adopt vital, science-based protections for the Amazon and its peoples"

Lost for 40 days in the Colombian Amazon, four Indigenous children survived eating seeds, roots and plants they knew were edible thanks to their upbringing.

Fascinating. #biopump #flyingrivers #amazonforest #climatechange

I saved these proceedings of a 1978 international conference at the University of Wisconsin on the peril of the people & ecology of the Amazon Region I also saved these two NatGeo issues from the early 2000s on global warming and the melting arctic - We know, we knew, and we could not act. How do we change? The earth has given us warning, signals, pleas for change. #ClimateChange #GlobalWarming #AmazonForest #ArcticIceDecline

#Argentina lost one-fifth of its #AtlanticForest in the last four decades
#Deforestation in #tropical #SouthAmerica extends beyond the #AmazonForest
Including loss of ecological corridors which provide essential #ecosystemservices for people and habitat for many species.

I worked on the 2007 failed #Yasuni proposal that #Ecuador made back to leave hydrocarbon reserves of this very biodiverse #AmazonForest untouched for part compensation. This is a fascinating #MustRead

That failed but we need 1,000s of successes to tackle #climate #nature loss! https://twitter.com/CatrinEinhorn/status/1614285632037130240

With Lula's victory in Brazil , hopefully positive part of this analysis will hold good.

« Investor support for the #AmazonForest is crucial and welcome - but more company scrutiny is needed. Many Companies committed to ending deforestation by 2020, but research by @Greenpeace Greenpeace and others shows they are miles away from reaching this goal. https://twitter.com/PRI_News/status/1174262033908256769 »
