We don't call it #Mother #Earth for nothing. If somebody killed your mother, you might be tempted to get revenge instead of letting the courts take their course. #MissKitty would. They're killing our mother.
The only responsible thing to do now is to acknowledge that we are going to 2.5. #Amazon #rainforest will be gone eventually or vastly diminished. I think the 40% is optimistic as the research indicates that going past 2.0 is assured. The question is whether we go past 2.5 on to 3.0. #RealityCheck
The #Amazon faces a "pincer grip" of global warming and localized #deforestation. Research indicates that if 20-25% of the forest is cleared, the #hydrological cycle will collapse, transitioning the basin into a dry #savannah. Current deforestation is estimated at 17%.
#Collapse Likelihood: 40% probability of widespread #dieback if warming reaches 2.0^{C}.
Trigger: Combined #deforestation exceeding 22% and regional rainfall reduction of 30%.
Impact Mechanism: Release of up to 90 billion tons of #carbon, potentially adding 0.3^{C} to #global warming.
