In his upcoming book, Timothy Lenton emphasizes the urgency of addressing climate tipping points, identifying critical risks like melting ice sheets and methane releases. Lenton contends that humanity has underestimated the pace at which these tipping points are approaching. He believes that by leveraging positive social and economic shifts, it's possible to catalyze recovery from climate damage. Lenton's expertise, stemming from nearly three decades of studying planetary risk, positions him as a leading voice urging for a proactive approach ahead of a global conference on the topic.
A tipping point is where change becomes self-propelling within a system, meaning it will shift from one state to another.
We've added much more than we have subtracted from the map of climate tipping elements, unfortunately suggesting we're much closer to some of these tipping points.
