Global Tipping Points | understanding risks & their potential impact
Harmful tipping points in the natural world threaten humanity by disrupting life support systems and societal stability.
Der eben veröffentlichte Report zu Global Tipping Points zeigt, dass manche Kipppunkte im Erdsystem bereits angestoßen wurden. Ein Beispiel ist die tropische Korallenbleiche. Die Risiken steigen mit der weiterhin ungebremst voranschreitenden Erderhitzung.

Erstmals seit Mitte der 1960-er Jahre - also seit 60 Jahren - nimmt der Holzvorrat im Wald leicht ab. Damit hat der Wald - trotz nach wie vor leicht wachsender Waldfläche - in der letzten Periode wohl netto keinen Kohlenstoff mehr aus der Atmosphäre aufgenommen.
