Even if countries meet the more aggressive goals of the Paris Climate Agreement, global warming could likely still trigger several climate “tipping points" that would drastically change life on Earth, according to a new study published in the"Tipping points" refer to junctures in the climate system that, when crossed, can usher in irreversible changes.
The study indicates that even the Paris Agreement's goal of keeping global warming at 1.5°C is not enough to fully avoid some of the dangerous effects of climate change.The researchers considered 16 of these tipping elements and determined that at current levels of global heating, the world "already lies within the lower end of five [climate tipping point] uncertainty ranges."
