After climate tipping points, change will come slowly, then all at once – The Hill

Summary:

• Extreme weather events in 2023 and early 2024 point to a potential climate tipping point.
• Global temperatures are rising, with record-high averages and regional temperature jumps.
• The danger of abrupt climate change is real, as seen in past shifts like the Younger Dryas era.
• Inaction on climate change could lead to irreversible consequences.
• Urgent action is needed to shift to a sustainable, net zero future before it’s too late.

The danger of an abrupt jump in temperatures should be taken seriously. The Younger Dryas era shows us climate change happens slowly until it happens fast. If the climate state shifts, it cannot be reversed. It will be permanently hotter, more dangerous and more destabilizing for humanity and non-humans.
