Ecological tipping points could occur much sooner than expected, study finds.

Amazon rainforest and other ecosystems could collapse ‘very soon’,
researchers warn. Ecological collapse is likely to start sooner than
previously believed, according to a new study that models how tipping
points can amplify and accelerate one another.

Based on these findings, the authors warn that more than a fifth of ecosystems worldwide, including the Amazon rainforest, are at risk of a catastrophic breakdown within a human
lifetime.
