Domino Effects in the Earth System -- The potential role of wanted tipping points [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 Vital parts of the climate system, such as the West Antarctic Ice Sheet, are at risk even within the aspired aims of the Paris Agreement to limit global temperature rise to 1.5 -- 2{\deg}C. These so-called natural tipping elements are characterized by rapid qualitative shifts in their states once a critical threshold, e.g., of global mean temperature ...
