Tipping Points and Climate Change

This chapter explores the severe impacts of climate change, focusing on extreme weather events and critical ocean currents like the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC). It highlights the potential consequences of tipping points, particularly the melting of the Greenland ice sheet and the dieback of the Amazon rainforest, emphasizing the risks to global climate stability. The discussion underscores the urgency of understanding these shifts and their implications for populations around the world as global warming progresses.
