Inside the race to understand Greenland’s ‘climate tipping point’.

An international team of scientists is determined to understand just how quickly Greenland’s melting glaciers are pushing the Atlantic Ocean towards a “critical climate tipping point”.

They’ll also trial a prototype ‘Early Warning System’ for glacier change in Greenland, as ice melt continues to accelerate.

Uh-oh...,Scientists Have Significantly Miscalculated Earth’s Sea Levels

The risk of a hothouse Earth trajectory: massive, sometimes abrupt, and undoubtedly disruptive. A much less habitable state of the climate for us.

"The world is closer than thought to a “point of no return” after which runaway global heating cannot be stopped, scientists have said."

"The public and politicians were largely unaware of the risk of passing the point of no return, the researchers said. The group said they were issuing their warning because while rapid and immediate cuts to fossil fuel burning were challenging, reversing course was likely to be impossible once on the path to a hothouse Earth, even if emissions were eventually slashed."

“We know we are running profound risks on the current climate trajectory, which we can’t rule out could turn into a trajectory towards a much less habitable state of the climate for us. " >>

The fate of the planet’s coastlines depends on how fast #Antarctica’s ice sheets #melt. We don’t know what’s coming.

Some regions of the continent have enough ice to push up #sealevels by 15 metres if they all melt, but researchers don’t yet fully understand the consequences.
