| Change gradually leads to tipping points beyond which the old order seems incongruous. |
|
| I think people have things that are sort of tipping points in their lives. |
|
| Participants discussed the benefit of creating aha! moments as tipping points. |
|
| Urgent action is needed to ensure the resilience of people and nature, and to avoid catastrophic tipping points. |
|
| People felt that crossed all lines, and then it became a story, so there are tipping points that trigger a public response. |
|
| Point 8 mentions that the deglaciation of Greenland and of the west Antarctic ice sheet are examples of tipping points of climate change. |
|
| These types of complex phenomena show us how vulnerable we are to tipping points beyond those linked directly to increasing temperatures and carbon dioxide levels. |
|
| Unless we are able to rapidly reduce CO2 levels again, we risk reaching tipping points and irreversible impacts such as the melting of the Greenland ice sheet and major methane releases from increased permafrost melt. |
|
| The authors offer these results as an independent line of evidence, separate from model-based approaches, which support the existence of tipping points in the climate system. |
|
| This situation is unlikely to change in the coming years, but there are a number of tipping points which could jeopardize the stability of the international system. |
|
| Biodiversity loss is continuing at unprecedented rates and urgent action is needed to ensure the resilience of people and nature and to avoid catastrophic tipping points. |
|
| The evidence is growing that future changes will be sudden as a result of exceeding tipping points and thresholds beyond which impacts could no longer be manageable. |
|
| The results could be used in principle, the authors state, to develop early warning systems for a variety of complex systems for which critical tipping points are suspected to exist. |
|
| Talk, Gladwell continued research on the idea of tipping points. |
|
| Met Office scientists urged action to cut CO2 emissions now, to prevent the ice melting past the tipping points and causing large sea level rises in the coming centuries. |
|
| Tipping points lead to behavior that gathers momentum like an epidemic. |
