Earth’s Tipping Points Are Closer Than We Think

Wild to think we’ve already blown past the 1.5°C climate limit—and scientists say that’s the tripwire for Earth’s biggest systems to start collapsing. We’re talking Greenland’s ice, the Amazon, ocean currents, all on the edge. If we don’t cut emissions fast, these tipping points could trigger a domino effect we can’t reverse, even if we cool things down later. Basically, every fraction of a degree now seriously ups the risk. This isn’t sci-fi, it’s our kitchen-table reality. #ClimateCrisis #TippingPoints #ActNow #Science
