Climate Tipping Points

Climate Tipping Point is a theoretical threshold in the climate system, belonging to the class of nonlinear dynamical system behaviors, distinguished by the potential for small perturbations to trigger abrupt, irreversible, and large-scale changes in Earth's biophysical systems.
