The reaction would likely delay effective emission reductions, so as to practically guarantee that climate would pass tipping points with devastating consequences for nature and humanity.

If, and this is THE big IF, we have finally passed one of the climate tipping points, then all past statistics are of no value in predicting the new dynamics of ice extent in the arctic.

I.e., we could have passed a critical climate tipping point 20 years ago that only smacks upside the head this year.

But what will be hard will be the harsh judgment of history on the President and Secretary of State that allows this pipeline - and the subsequent tipping points of climate change - to come to pass.

I think that we still have a long way to go in making the danger clear, in part because of the inertia of the climate system and the danger of passing tipping points — points at which little or no additional forcing is needed to cause large, relatively rapid, undesirable effects.

Otherwise it will become impractical to constrain atmospheric carbon dioxide, the greenhouse gas produced in burning fossil fuels, to a level that prevents the climate system from passing tipping points that lead to disastrous climate changes that spiral dynamically out of humanity's control.

As the planet warms, it is easy to imagine an increasing number of «tipping points» being passed, each related to some different sub-system of the climate or biosphere.

In short, whatever the initial climate sensitivity is to a doubling of CO2, I just can't buy off on this positive feedback loop idea that says that temperatures are going to spin out of control once we pass over some «tipping point» that only seems to exists in some scientist's theoretical model.

If we surpass this one - trillion - ton threshold, the planet will pass a tipping point and continue to warm, leaving future generations with a deteriorating and dangerous climate system.

The public's «sustained backlash» against the Conservative Clean Air Act suggests that Canadians have passed the tipping point when it comes to climate change, said Price.

The 2014 paper's author, Isabel Galiana, herself said that the «the paper does not explicitly undertake a benefit / cost analysis of keeping climate change to two degrees,» and also noted that if certain «tipping points» were passed, then climate - change induced damage could also increase.

And Sir John also talked about how our hope must be to limit climate change — preventing us passing a potentially catastrophic tipping point — a great threat to life.

The Arctic shows that tipping points for dangerous climate change and large sea - level rises have already been passed, a fact that the IPCC did not recognise in failing to include any emission scenarios for less than 2 — 2.4 ˚C in its 2007 report.

... Earth's climate is nearing, but has not passed, a tipping point, beyond which it will be impossible to avoid climate change with far ranging undesirable consequences.

Within the last two years, a number of leading scientists — including Rajendra Pachauri, head of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), British ecologist James Lovelock, and NASA scientist James Hansen — have all declared that humanity is about to pass or already has passed a «tipping point» in terms of global warming.

With respect to climate change, we have abruptly passed the tipping point in what until recently has been a tense political controversy.

«- continued unfettered burning of all fossil fuels will cause the climate system to pass tipping points such that we hand our children and grandchildren a dynamic situation that is out of control.

Accordingly, those riding the climate change bandwagon have had to illustrate their narratives with claims about when climate change will reach its «tipping point», when we can expect disaster to arrive, and at what point we will pass the deadline for creating the comprehensive legal and institutional response to climate change.

I don't know about tipping points in climate but we seem to be passing a tipping point in the culture around this controversy.

While at sea, a building tsunami is hardly perceptible and if you were floating on one you wouldn't notice it as your boat quietly rose and fell while it passed underneath you, like the tipping point in support for action on climate that we're floating on right now.

Unless me make this kind of an effort in climate science, and take a leadership role leading others to make similar efforts, we will pass too many tipping points and lose everything that is American.

The scientific literature and recent observations — along with our ongoing lack of climate action — have long passed the worrisome stage (see the post last month «Greenland Ice Sheet Melt Nearing Critical «Tipping Point» «and links below).

The world is perilously close to, or passed, tipping points which will create major changes in global climate systems.
