Tipping Points

With only a month to go until the next annual United Nations climate conference, 160 scientists released a report warning that our planet is dealing with a “new reality.”. One author warns “We are rapidly approaching multiple Earth system tipping points that could transform our world, with devastating consequences for people and nature.”
