Just a small rise in Earth’s temperature could cause irreversible ecosystem and weather changes

Overall, they found that at the current level of #GlobalWarming—1.1°C since the preindustrial era—Earth has already passed the low-end risk estimate for five #TippingPoints, putting #CoralReefs, #permafrost, and #PolarIce at risk. Just 0.8°C of warming may have already accelerated the decline of the Greenland Ice Sheet.
