The Amazon – On the Path to Collapse

By Abrupt changes, Amazon, Drought, Earth systems, Emissions flip, forest health, Tipping

The Amazon – On the Path to Collapse The trend is now painfully obvious. Degradation in the Amazon is closely tied to compound drought and heat waves, low-soil moisture and low humidity. These compound drought events have become far more frequent and severe since the turn of the century and have resulted in the Amazon…

An Important Tipping Point for Our Total Earth System Has Passed – Natural Sequestration of Atmospheric CO2 Has Begun To Decline

By Abrupt changes, adaptation, Amazon, climate restoration, Earth systems, Emissions, Emissions flip, Emissions Scenarios, evolutionary boundaries, forest health, Forest Mortality, Impacts, Shifting Ecology, Tipping

An Important Tipping Point for Our Total Earth System Has Passed – Natural Sequestration of Atmospheric CO2 Has Begun To Decline Natural sequestration of carbon dioxide is in decline: climate change will accelerate The familiar cover image of the Mauna Loa atmospheric CO2 concentration now reveals what has been coming for decades. Natural sequestration of…

Antarctic Tipping Warning, Mega Drying – Now greatest sea level rise contributor, Total Earth systems sequestration flips into decline

By Abrupt changes, Antarctic sea ice, climate emergency, Drought, Earth systems, Emissions flip, feedback, forest health, Forest Mortality, Gulf Stream, ice sheets, ocean processes, Permafrost melt, Point of No Return, rainfall, sea ice, Sea Level Rise, Tipping, West Antarctic Ice Sheet

Evidence continues to mount that Earth systems processes have passed tipping points or their tipping is foregone without rapid restoration of our climate to within the evolutionary boundary conditions of our former climate. No amount of warming beyond the maximum of our old climate is now safe and we must cool from today to restore…

Grand Canyon National Park North Rim Infrastructure Destroyed – Massively Irresponsible Fire Control and Passive Climate Denial

By adaptation, Climate Catastrophes, climate emergency, Fire, forest health, Impacts, The Unexpected

Grand Canyon National Park North Rim Infrastructure Destroyed – Massively Irresponsible Fire Control and Passive Climate Denial Nary a word about climate change in reporting of the fire that destroyed almost all infrastructure at the North Rim of the Grand Canyon, including the historic Grand Canyon Lodge.  It’s not just our national treasures that are…

It’s Flooding Down in Texas

By Climate Catastrophes

It’s Flooding Down in Texas Climate change has undersized our world’s engineered infrastructure, and increased modern flood safety has created complacency in a flood world far different from the safe one we recently vacated.

Sea Level Rise Projection Planning Based on Statistical Certainty and Robustness (Never Mentioning Risk)

By ice sheets, Planning, Sea Level Rise, West Antarctic Ice Sheet

Lipscomb 2025 – Sea level rise projection planning based on statistical certainty and robust science (never mentioning risk)… Recent Antarctic-based sea level rise findings have consistently lowered future SLR amounts based on refined modeling of  ice discharge mechanisms of the Antarctic Ice Sheet and Shelves. This evaluation of recent Antarctic ice loss SLR science seeks…

Sudden Jump in Academic Findings Indicating the Crossing of Numerous New Earth System Tipping Points

By Abrupt changes, Antarctic sea ice, Climate Culture, climate emergency, Climate Reform, climate restoration, climate solutions, CO2 Removal and Sequestration, Earth systems, engineered solutions, Engineering, evolutionary boundaries, feedback, forest health, Forest Mortality, geoengineering, ice sheet, Impacts, Legacy Policy, modeling, ocean processes, Oceans, sea ice, Shifting Ecology, Solutions, Strategy, The Unexpected, Tipping, Vegetation Response

Findings since mid-May reveal new and more serious insight into tipping threshold crossing of the Antarctic and Greenland Ice Sheets, Antarctic sea ice, ocean acidification, and tropical and boreal forests. The 30 percent warming jump in 2023 and 2024 is crucial to understanding the extreme risks of our current and rapidly accelerating climate trajectory. But…

Half the World’s Population Experiencing Double to 54 Times as Much Extreme Heat As Before We Changed Our Climate

By Extreme Weather, feedback, Heat, Temperature

  Science Understates Dramatically Half the World’s Population Experiencing Double to 54 Times as Much Extreme Heat As Before We Changed Our Climate, a new extreme heat evaluation by Climate Central dangerously understates reality. A summary and review based on: Climate Change Made Extreme Heat Days More Likely A new attribution study shows every single extreme…
