Tipping elements are components of the Earth system which may respond nonlinearly to
anthropogenic climate change by transitioning toward substantially different long‐term …

Specific components of the Earth system may abruptly change their state in response to
gradual changes in forcing. This possibility has attracted great scientific interest in recent …

The Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) is a major tipping element in the
climate system and a future collapse would have severe impacts on the climate in the North …

One of the most prominent climate tipping elements is the Atlantic meridional overturning
circulation (AMOC), which can potentially collapse because of the input of fresh water in the …

Current policies and actions make it very likely, at least temporarily, to overshoot the Paris
climate targets of 1.5–< 2.0° C above pre-industrial levels. If this global warming range is …

Working Group I (WGI) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) assesses
the current evidence on the physical science of climate change, evaluating knowledge …

There exists a range of subsystems in the climate system exhibiting threshold behaviour
which could be triggered under global warming within this century resulting in severe …

In climate model simulations of future climate change, the Atlantic Meridional Overturning
Circulation (AMOC) is projected to decline. However, the impacts of this decline, relative to …

Anthropogenic climate change profoundly alters the ocean's environmental conditions,
which, in turn, impact marine ecosystems. Some of these changes are happening fast and …

Central elements of the climate system are at risk for crossing critical thresholds (so-called
tipping points) due to future greenhouse gas emissions, leading to an abrupt transition to a …
