Climate Limits is a theoretical construct that specifies the planetary boundary within the Earth system, beyond which anthropogenic perturbations to radiative forcing are deemed to destabilize global climatic patterns, thereby distinguishing it from other environmental thresholds through its focus on the physical limits of climate system resilience.
