Climate Tipping Points Reached Ahead of COP30
Scientists warn that global warming is advancing at a faster rate than expected, leading to an almost irreversible decline in the world's coral reefs.
A report by 160 researchers worldwide, known as the Global Tipping Points report, identifies this as the first "tipping point" in the collapse of ecosystems driven by climate change.
The alarm comes from the Global Tipping Points report, authored by 160 researchers worldwide.
- The report estimates irreversible thresholds, highlighting the urgent need for action.
- The Amazon system faces possible collapse if the global temperature rises more than 1.5 degrees Celsius due to ongoing deforestation.
