New review paper that I am sure will be of interest ("Mechanisms and impacts of Earth system tipping elements"): https://doi.org/10.1029/2021RG000757

"Here we review mechanisms, predictions, impacts, and knowledge gaps associated with ten notable Earth system components proposed to be tipping elements."

2022 will be ending with *record low* levels of global sea-ice extent for late December...

Temperature anomalies over land areas so far this year (January to November 2022) - most all areas are warmer than the 1951-1980 climate baseline.
