Remember:

1. The Greenland Ice Sheet reached a tipping point 20 years ago

2. The temperature tipping point of the terrestrial biosphere lies within the next 20 to 30 years

3. 50% of all species may be vulnerable to thermal infertility due to climate change

4. We can still act

1. “I think it’s very important to emphasize that this loss of the ice sheet is not irreversible. We’ve witnessed a step-change that is unlikely to be reversible in the near future.."

The temperature tipping point of the terrestrial biosphere lies not at the end of the century or beyond, but within the next 20 to 30 years' advances.sciencemag.org/content/7/3/ea…

'The findings challenge the possibility of limiting warming to 1.5 or 2 degrees Celsius.

“In fact, it calls into question the assumption that the climate would even be stable at those levels of warming if all human greenhouse gas emissions were to cease'insideclimatenews.org/news/13012021/…

'Evidence of declining fertility in humans and wildlife is growing. While chemicals in our environment have been identified as a major cause, our new research shows there's another looming threat to animal fertility: climate change.'

'temperature-driven fertility losses may be a major threat to biodiversity during climate change.. perhaps half of all species will be vulnerable to thermal infertility.'
