Climate Science bedeviled by 'tipping points' |
|---|
|
Of the many things that keep climate scientists awake at night, tipping points may be the scariest.To start with, these thresholds for deep, sometimes catastrophic change in the complex web of Earth's natural forces, caused by man-made global warming are largely invisible.
You can't see them on the horizon, and could easily cross one without noticing. Also there is no turning back - at least not on a human timescale. Ice sheets with enough frozen water to lift sea levels more than a dozen meters, powerful ocean currents that keep bone-chilling winters at bay on both sides of the Atlantic, monsoon rains upon which hundreds of lions in Asia depend for food- all are at a risk of irretrievable disruption.
