Our planet's climate is rapidly changing, warming Earth and disrupting weather patterns, this threatens rising seas, extreme weather, and ecological collapse.Here are some tipping points of climate change
1
The Greenland ice sheet is a massive reservoir of fresh water, and its collapse could raise sea levels by several meters.
2
This organic matter decomposes and releases methane, a potent greenhouse gas, into the atmosphere, further accelerating warming.
3
The AMOC is a system of ocean currents that plays a crucial role in regulating Earth's climate.
4
Changes in climate patterns could disrupt monsoon systems, leading to droughts in some regions and floods in others.
5
The Amazon rainforest is a major carbon sink, absorbing vast amounts of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
6
The Antarctic ice sheets are even larger than the Greenland ice sheet, and their collapse could raise sea levels by tens of meters.
7
Coral reefs are vital marine ecosystems that provide habitat for a wide variety of fish and other marine life
