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 #climate could push parts of the Earth system into abrupt or irreversible change”

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

Tipping points are thresholds where a tiny change could push a system into a completely new state.

Carbon Brief

“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).”

Global Extinction within one Human Lifetime as a Result of a Spreading Atmospheric Arctic Methane Heat wave and Surface Firestorm

Blog edited by Sam Carana, with news on climate change and warming in the Arctic due to snow and ice loss and methane releases from the seafloor.

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, #methane 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!

Politically, physically, socially, the world is going to be unrecognisable within ten years. Beyond all our imaginations if we are honest. Either for the better or the worse. Up to us. But it’s physically impossible that it will continue as is. 🎲 #climateaction

We should have paid attention to James Hansen years ago.

“Look for continual monthly records”

Speaking of the corporate media.
Nobody does a takedown better than George Monbiot
"It's the absence of moral seriousness. It's the vacuous gossip about celebrities and consumables that take precedence over the survival of life on Earth."
