Weekend pick
: Are we at risk of crossing #ClimateTippingPoints? New documentary "climate extremes" out now! With PIK director Johan Rockström, PIK scientists @rahmstorf , Jonathan Donges, Levke Caesar, Sina Loriani, Nico Wunderling, Daniel Swain from the Public Policy Institute of California, Samantha Burgess, PhD et al.
"The Amazon is one of the most important carbon sinks in the atmosphere", said Lucas Ferrante, a biologist and researcher.
“Today it has started to emit carbon,” he said. “We are at a turning point, a point of no return.”
#ClimateTippingPoints
@KeithDJohnson. Greenland swings to fifteen degrees Celsius warmer in fifty years. 2057 is an AMOC tipping point. We will see. #Greenland, #ClimateTippingPoints, #amoc.
Scientists developed a new method for early detection of #ClimateTippingPoints. They successfully tested the reliability of their method using the shift of the once-green #Sahara into a #desert: http://go.tum.de/822277

@Iamgtsmith@mstdn.ca"During the Younger Dryas era, temperatures in Greenland leapt 10 degrees Celsius in a decade. Sea levels rose rapidly by tens of meters, driven by Greenland ice melt and other ice loss in the Arctic and Antarctic"

The Guardian#climate tipping point?
Nice article tooted by @jhaue . But I have a qualm in this framing by the writer, Mr. Carrington, @dpcarrington , in which the door is left open right from the masthead* to discredit the building body of evidence that we face several #ClimateTippingPoints. Certainly "scientists" (all of them?) disagree with the findings of this one paper because science as a process is one big disagreement. This framing of "hero science" (where one magical paper is published by a genius and clears up all standing questions like a magic wand) has, in my opinion, held climate science back for decades. All of the scientists quoted within Mr. Carrington's article did splendidly at pointing out the nature of disagreements and the small importance of individual studies (relative to the convergence of the large body of literature). We must convey this better to the public - science is a giant argument with rules and formalities, but when it converges it is extremely powerful at finding truth. We have been finding truth about climate change for decades, but framing like this helps the even more powerful disinformation campaigns sponsored by our petroleum companies and other corporate interests.
*Perhaps it is unfair to pin the masthead on Mr. Carrington - this could have been an editorial decision.
"The #US had 154 super-emitter events from fossil fuel sites. The biggest was in March last year, near San Antonio in #Texas, releasing 147 tonnes an hour...
#Russia had 120 super-emitting events in 2022. Other nations in the top 15 include #Algeria, #China, #SaudiArabia, #Australia, #Iran and #Iraq"

The GuardianAlready two month old, but an excellent update on #ClimateTippingPoints (CTP) by McKay et al in Science.
While #COP27 is still ongoing:
“A significant likelihood of passing multiple climate tipping points exists above ~1.5°C, particularly in major ice sheets. .... Current policies leading to ~2 to 3°C warming are unsafe because they would likely trigger multiple climate tipping points.”
