"... as unique features of the Earth system. Current global warming of ~1.1°C above pre-industrial already lies w/in the lower end of five CTP (#Climate Tipping Point) uncertainty ranges. Six CTPs become likely w/in the #parisagreement range of 1.5 to <2°C warming..."

The bottom line: The world govts are failing to meet #parisagreement 1.5 C limits on #GlobalWarming rise due to fossil fuels. But even that target may not avoid calamitous changes across the planet as ecosystems hit bio and chemical tipping points to total failure.
