Global climate crosses more dangerous tipping points, heading for ecosystem collapse

 Global warming is crossing dangerous thresholds sooner than expected with the world’s coral reefs now in an almost irreversible die-off, marking
what scientists describe as the first “tipping point” in climate-driven
ecosystem collapse.

The warning in the Global Tipping Points report by 160
researchers, which synthesises groundbreaking science to estimate points of no return, comes ahead of this year’s COP30 climate summit, the annual
gathering of nations to combat human-induced climate change, being held at the edge of the Amazon rainforest in Brazil in November.

That same rainforest system is now at risk of collapsing once the average global temperature warms beyond just 1.5 degrees Celsius, based on deforestation rates, the report said, revising down the estimated threshold for the Amazon.
