"Transformational is particularly important to build resilience and prepare for the potential severe impacts of crossing .

Given the potential for catastrophic impacts associated with climate system tipping points, missing the to implement such strategies could lead to economic and ethical costs in the near-future."

"Current scientific understanding of climate system challenges the generally accepted notion that tipping points have a low probability of being crossed under moderate levels of warming, which adds further urgency to the climate challenge and requires a shift in how tipping points are treated in climate policy .

For climate strategies to adequately reflect tipping-point risks, they need to drive drastic cuts in emissions ."

“My personal opinion is that a healthy child born into a stable first-world family today has an expected lifespan of between 30 and 40 years, many very tough years.

My opinion is that no matter your age, you're going to have a tough time making it past 2060. But some will.”

Explainer: Nine ‘tipping points’ that could be triggered by climate change

“This article is part of a week-long special series on “tipping points”, where a changing could push parts of the Earth system into abrupt or irreversible change”

“Wow, North Atlantic sea surface temperatures have once again been spiking, a gain of 0.06°C in a day, jumping up to a new modern-day record 25.28°C yesterday.

Here is a brief history of SSTs from 1982 to 2023 on August 19th, with color coding for the three warmest years.”

“The warning about extinction is stark. It is remarkable that global scientists had not anticipated a giant buildup of methane in the atmosphere when it had been so clearly predicted 10 to 20 years ago and has been shown to be critically linked to extinction events in the geological record (Kennett et al. 2003).”

Ocean surface temperature anomaly vs 1901-1930.

Latent heat tipping point (LHTP) and the Seafloor methane tipping point (SMTP).

Ochre trend indicates LHTP crossed in 2021 and SMTP in 2033.

Red trend indicates LHTP crossed in 2023 and SMTP later in 2023.

In a year of so many climate records being shattered, levels at Pt. Barrow won’t be outdone.
The daily average reading of methane has spiked to unprecedented atmospheric concentrations.
Look at the right hand side of the graph!

New methane study reveals that its rapid growth since 2016, which is greater in SCALE AND SPEED than itsgrowth during past glacial/interglacial termination events..

➡️may indicate a large scale reorganization of the natural climate and biosphere is underway.

From Nov 2021:
“We have reached a wildfire tipping point, a vicious feedback loop of even more warming
In 2021 Altogether, wildfires emitted 6,450 megatons of carbon dioxide , about equal to total European Union CO2 emissions from fossil fuels that year.

2022 will be even worse.”

And we now see 2023…

Concept of tipping points challenges dominant understanding of how fundamentally works, says emeritus professor of science.

Tipping elements could compound, combining to build greater, planetary-wide

Push 1 element, triggering domino effect, so rapid acceleration of .

Planetary tipping point consequences are severe enough that slim risk needs to be taken seriously.

Tipping points are a real possibility, if not probability. Don't let the StrawVenus distract you.

When we see a leadership candidate smiling reassuringly through a photo we know immediately that they are the wrong kind of leader to elect into office in our world that has become so dangerously out of kilter.

Evidence:
Smiling self assured delusional retro faced liars are how our shared world became so dangerous to us & our families to live on.
