Early warning signals for climate tipping should be taken very seriously
Theoretical work confirms the method used to predict climate tipping is indeed mathematically sound Recently, scientists from the TiPES project have found early warning signals for climate tipping of the Amazon Rainforest, the West-Central Greenland ice sheet, and the Atlantic … Continued
Summary of TiPES findings at 36 months
The TiPES project has provided information and insight about tipping points in the Earth’s system.The project has advanced the theory and mathematics of tipping points, developed new methods to analyse and understand past climates, improved the understanding of climate tipping … Continued
TiPES meeting at Dartington hall
TiPES researchers were finally able to meet after that being prevented by COVID for almost the length of the project. We gathered at Dartington hall nearby University of Exeter to have our second general assembly. The focus was on the … Continued
Understanding climate tipping must be prioritized
Evidence is mounting that the Earth’s climate system can change abruptly when tipping points are crossed, for example by anthropogenic release of greenhouse gases. We urgently need to understand and predict these abrupt transitions better. A list of priorities for … Continued
North Atlantic Ocean currents are closest to a tipping point in a thousand years
A new reconstructed index of sea surface temperatures confirms previous research: The North Atlantic ocean currents appear to be approaching a point of no return, where their strength will inevitably weaken in the coming decades and centuries. Researchers confirm find that the Atlantic Meridional Overturning … Continued
Policy event with Comfort and TiPACCS
A Policy Brief for the EU says that taking advantage of groundbreaking research and having science and policy working collaboratively is the only way to prevent the destabilization of major Earth system tipping elements and avoiding the critical thresholds known … Continued
Switzerland initiates asking IPCC for a special report on “Climate Tipping Points and their Implications for Habitability and Resources”
The Geneva environment network together with Switzerland today organized a briefing presenting the initiative asking the IPCC to elaborate a Special Report on “Climate Tipping Points and their Implications for Habitability and Resources”. TiPES researcher Thomas Stocker was in the … Continued
TiPES at EGU 2022
TiPES will as every year present our most recent science at the European Geophysical Union (EGU) meeting in Vienna. We are the main convener of one session; NP 2.4 on Nonlinear Dynamics and Tipping Points in the Earth System. But … Continued
