Global warming: the point of no return is dangerously close

Recent studies show that every additional fraction of a degree could trigger irreversible changes in the global climate system. As our planet continues to inevitably warm, the scientific community is sounding the alarm: we are dangerously close to critical tipping points beyond which Earth's climate could experience changes as radical as definitive.

The work carried out by Tessa Möller and Annika Ernest Högner, climatologists at the University of Potsdam, highlights four of these points of no return, which, if crossed, could not only worsen global warming, but destroy any hope of return. As global temperatures edge dangerously close to the 1.5°C limit set by the Paris Agreement, the risk of exceeding these critical thresholds has never been higher. (More on presse-citron.net)
