Climate 'tipping points' may arrive without warning, says top forecaster
More great news on the climate front. We may never have known what hit us. The worry is that things that we know are happening like
"the complete disappearance of Arctic sea ice in summer, leading to drastic changes in ocean circulation and climate patterns across the whole Northern Hemisphere; acceleration of ice loss from the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets, .........and ocean acidification from carbon dioxide absorption"
could possibly serve as tipping points that would lead to the disruption of current climate and the world that we know and depend upon. I happen to be one of those who believe that the process has already been set in motion and likely has too much inertia to stop. Only time will tell.
