In the face of a complete lack of problems to date, climate scientists appear to be amping up the "woo woo" factor of predicted climate catastrophes. But they are not adding a firm timescale, and refuse to call their warnings...

Some other researchers suggest that ice cliffs in Antarctica might not collapse as quickly as those in Greenland. But given their size and current rates of warming – far faster than in the historic record – what if they...

He added: "The possibility of Pine Island Glacier entering an unstable retreat has been raised before but this is the first time that this possibility is rigorously established and quantified.

This is an article with a simple proposition. Science tells us that rapidly rising Co2 in turn causes rising temperatures, which has become a very serious problem for humanity.

This suggests that environmental pressures should remain below a certain threshold to keep the ecosystem in a safe operating space. An international team of scientists led by the biodiversity expert Prof. Dr. Helmut Hillebrand...

Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute All living things have tipping points: points of no return, beyond which they cannot thrive. A new report in Science shows that maximum daily temperatures above 32.2 degrees Celsius...

No, I don’t see a “climate communication”  blitz in the run up to the latest UN Climate Change Conference or anything like….that.~cr University of Exeter More than half of the climate tipping points identified...

Relentless Amazon deforestation and gross mishandling of the region by Brazilian authorities and agricultural advocates are pushing the world’s largest tropical rainforest closer to the brink of catastrophic ecological...

The heat is on this summer as sweltering temperatures are felt throughout the U.S., all thanks to the “tipping point"— a warning once echoed in the 2015 Paris accord. [...]

IT WORSE THAN WE THOUGHT! ~ctm Climate change tipping point could be coming sooner than we think New study shows that vegetation may not be able to continue abating the effects of emissions from human activities Columbia...

There's a lot scientists don't know about how global warming could impact Earth's natural systems. Now, a 26-year-study of soil in Massachusetts' Harvard Forest provides new insight. Researchers discovered warming soils are...

Could reaching environmental tipping points really impact the Earth's climate all that much? New research from an international team of four scientists says yes...

By 2050, huge areas of the US coast could be subjects to 30+ days of flooding a year, thanks to accelerating sea level rise from global warming, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association...

Just another signpost on the road to Sensible-land. Remember how skeptics were the fringe minority, the dying dinosaurs, and there were only a few left on the planet? That was last week. Suddenly, begrudgingly, being a skeptic...

…because the Earth has experienced massive CO2 pulses and  recovered before. From the something you don’t see every day department comes this graph: Atmospheric CO2 Concentration by Geologic Time Period Source:...
