There is potential for Amoc weakening to become a collapse. In that specific scenario ,Europe would experience climate change up to 10 times faster than today. Considering that current climate change is already hard to keep up with as a society, we can’t begin to imagine what impact an Amoc collapse could have on our daily lives. #climateChange #climateCatastrophe #climateEmergency #climateBreakdown #tippingPoint https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/jun/14/amoc-collapse-europe-climate

Warming unlocks ancient carbon in Tibetan permafrost, triggering climate tipping point The results revealed a clear and troubling pattern across all warming levels. Even under low to moderate warming, #carbon losses through respiration outpaced photosynthetic carbon gains by 1–16-fold. Warming by +1°C, +2°C, and +4°C increased annual net #CO2 release by 44%, 80%, and 176%, respectively, and the site was a net carbon source before any experimental warming began. "When warming reaches around 2–4°C, the system changes fundamentally," Ding told Phys.org. "Plants begin to reach their thermal and water-stress limits, so photosynthesis declines. At the same time, thaw penetrates deeper into the #soil, exposing old #permafrost carbon that has been frozen and protected for hundreds to thousands of years. Once thawed, microbes can decompose it and release it as CO2." https://phys.org/news/2026-06-ancient-carbon-tibetan-permafrost-triggering.html #TippingPoint #Tibet #Himalaya #Uhhps

There are signs that a so-called super El Niño could develop this year, supercharging extreme weather events around the world. Some forecasts are suggesting it could become one of the strongest ever recorded. #climateChange #climateCatastrophe #climateEmergency #climateBreakdown #tippingPoint https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/apr/23/down-to-earth-super-el-nino-extreme-weather

The poor and middle pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the very rich pay lawyers – and the ultra-rich pay politicians. The billionaire death cult that steers humanity’s destiny doesn’t do existential crises. One of the symptoms of the pathology known as “billionaire brain” is an inability to see beyond their own short-term gain. They would sack the planet for a few more stones on the pointless mountain of wealth. And we can see it happening. #climateChange #climateCatastrophe #climateEmergency #climateBreakdown #tippingPoint https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/apr/23/catastrophic-climate-event-scientists-atlantic-system-collapse-billionaire-existential-crisis

The critical Atlantic current system appears significantly more likely to collapse than previously thought after new research found that climate models predicting the biggest slowdown are the most realistic. Scientists called the new finding “very concerning” as a collapse would have catastrophic consequences for Europe, Africa and the Americas. #climateChange #climateCatastrophe #climateEmergency #climateBreakdown #tippingPoint https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/apr/15/critical-atlantic-current-significantly-more-likely-to-collapse-than-thought

PBS NewsHour - The Latest | America's first billion-dollar climate fund sparks spending debate in Portland by Stephanie Sy, Mike Fritz In 2018, voters in Portland, Oregon, approved a first-of-its-kind climate and justice fund aimed at investing in projects in historically marginalized communities. Since then, the fund has grown, and so has the debate over how that money should be spent. Stephanie Sy reports for our series, Tipping Point.

PBS NewsHour - The Latest | How next-gen nuclear could help meet energy demands – and the risks involved by Paul Solman, Diane Lincoln Estes The Trump administration has rolled back support for many forms of clean energy. One exception is nuclear power. The president wants to quadruple U.S. nuclear capacity by 2050, and a new generation of advanced reactors in development could signal the dawn of a new nuclear age. Paul Solman reports for our series, Tipping Point.

PBS NewsHour - The Latest | How climate change has powered the heat wave blanketing much of the U.S. by Ali Rogin, Karina Cuevas A massive heat dome has been spreading across much of the United States this month, with temperatures reaching historic highs. But it's not an isolated spike. In recent weeks, the country has grappled with a series of extreme weather events. Ali Rogin spoke with Bernadette Woods Placky of Climate Central for our series, Tipping Point.

The average doesn't tell the whole story and economic models are catching up to this fact. More warnings about the effects of climate change and the influence of extreme events on the economy. Economic models don't seem to take into account quality of life issues, either! https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/feb/05/flawed-economic-models-mean-climate-crisis-could-crash-global-economy-experts-warn #ClimateCrisis #ClimateChange #ExtremeWeather #TippingPoint
