Abrupt climate change in the past was often preceded by early warning sign
In the last 66 million years, the climate of the Earth is known to have shifted abruptly between four different states; hothouse, warm house, cold house and icehouse. This was documented in 2020 by Westerhold et al. A further analysis … Continued

Finding tipping points in the climate of the past
A new analytical tool can help find tipping events back millions of years, potentially improving the understanding of tipping points in the Earth system TiPES-researchers have developed an automated method for the detection and precise dating of abrupt climate events … Continued
Climate tipping might be predicted using algebraic topology
Theoretical progress in climate science indicates algebraic topology applied to reduced climate models might help predict if and when the Earth system will tip The Earth’s climate system seems to have shifted abruptly between colder and warmer modes in the … Continued
Climate change tipping points: back to the drawing table
Work by, among others, Robbin Bastiaansen of Utrecht University indicates tipping might be evaded in a complex system. The article in Science contributes to the TiPES project. Listen to the TiPES-podcast with Robbin here. And read the press release from … Continued
