The Ripple Factor: Economic losses from weather extremes can amplify each other across the world
Weather extremes can cause economic ripples along our supply chains. If they occur at roughly the same time the ripples start interacting and can amplify even if they occur at completely different places around the… Read More »The Ripple Factor: Economic losses from weather extremes can amplify each other across the world
Are accelerating impacts at risk of outpacing action?
With feedbacks from thawing permafrost and other sources on the rise, Sir David King discusses how close are we to the point where these sources of greenhouse gases outpace our own efforts to reduce atmospheric… Read More »Are accelerating impacts at risk of outpacing action?
Tipping points can destabilize each other, leading to climate domino collapse effects
Under global warming, tipping elements in the Earth system can destabilize each other and eventually lead to climate domino collapse effects. The ice sheets on Greenland and West Antarctica are potential starting points for tipping… Read More »Tipping points can destabilize each other, leading to climate domino collapse effects
