New study on tipping points offers hope while warning against inaction Faculties

New study by #CLICCS researcher Jakob Deutloff finds no strong evidence for a tipping point chain reaction from elements like #permafrost or the #Amazon.
However, 9 of 16 tipping points could be crossed under current policies. 🧪 www.cliccs.uni-hamburg.de/about-cliccs... @uniofexeternews.bsky.social

☀️🌊 Arctic heat: Marine heatwaves in a 2°C world could be 10x more frequent & more intense than at 1.5°C. One in 4 Arctic summer months will break heat records, accelerating ice melt & disrupting ecosystems. Even 0.5°C matters! #CLICCS @uni-hamburg.de Details: 🧪 iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1...

💸 Burning 1 liter of gasoline = €0.60 in climate damages.
New study by @ucdavis.bsky.social and @uni-hamburg.de finds CO₂ costs society €300/ton – more than double previous estimates. Based on 1,800 studies, it's the most comprehensive analysis to date. #CLICCS 🧪 Study: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

❄️ Permafrost stores twice as much carbon as the atmosphere. Thawing releases methane & CO2, accelerates coastal erosion, and may even shift tropical rainfall. Permafrost shows how regional changes impact the global climate. #CLICCS Read more: www.cliccs.uni-hamburg.de/about-cliccs...

🔔 A study like a wake-up call: Combined climate hazards – coastal erosion, sea level rise & permafrost thaw – could push Alaska's coast inland by 2100, releasing 8–11x more carbon. A shift for Arctic resilience is urgently needed. #CLICCS @whoi.bsky.social 🧪 Paper: www.pnas.org/doi/full/10....

"Sowing the seeds of change"
