What are Tipping  Points of Climate Change?

Orange Lightning

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

Greenland Ice Sheet Collapse

The Greenland ice sheet is a massive reservoir of fresh water, and its collapse could raise sea levels by several meters.

2

Permafrost Thaw

This organic matter decomposes and releases methane, a potent greenhouse gas, into the atmosphere, further accelerating warming.

3

AMOC

The AMOC is a system of ocean currents that plays a crucial role in regulating Earth's climate.

4

Monsoon Shifts

Changes in climate patterns could disrupt monsoon systems, leading to droughts in some regions and floods in others.

5

Amazon Rainforest Dieback

The Amazon rainforest is a major carbon sink, absorbing vast amounts of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

6

Antarctic Ice Sheets Collapse

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 Reef Die-Off

Coral reefs are vital marine ecosystems that provide habitat for a wide variety of fish and other marine life
