In climate science, a tipping point is a critical threshold that, when crossed, leads to large, accelerating and often irreversible changes in the climate system. [3] If tipping points are crossed, they are likely to have severe impacts on human society and may accelerate global warming.
6. Sept. 2023 · A climate “tipping point” refers to a threshold beyond which small changes to global temperatures can have big, irreversible effects. For example, you’ve probably heard...
11. Jan. 2024 · What Are the Tipping Points of Climate Change? The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) defines tipping points as “critical thresholds in a system that, when exceeded, can lead to a significant change in the state of the system, often with an understanding that the change is irreversible.”
Nine parts of the climate system are sensitive to tipping, including ice sheets, ocean currents and major forests. A new assessment of the past 15 years of research has found there is a risk of certain tipping points being triggered now when global warming stands at roughly 1.2°C.
Crossing single tipping points has severe impacts on the environment and threatens the livelihood of many people 1. There is also the risk that, through feedback loops, further tipping points in the Earth System are reached and a domino-like chain reaction is initiated 2,3.
