Atlantic Meridional Overturning Current helps regulate global temperatures; ice melt from ice sheets and decreases in salinity could create problems over course of decades, not centuries
A tipping point occurs when a temperature crosses a no-return threshold. Think of leaning back in a chair further and further. With better climate data, improved resolution of climate systems, and more accurate climate models, we know we have moved into the danger zone
Tort reform: Extreme weather attribution science can pinpoint damages of natural disasters to industrial causes of climate change
Politics of the issue makes it very difficult to combat increasingly devastating impacts to society on horizon
‘We are on a highway to climate hell with our foot on the accelerator,’ — António Guterres, United Nations Secretary General
Rally, folks! We may need to muster a ‘New York Navy’ sooner than you think to save ourselves from the inevitable killer heat wave
