Welcome

Tipping Point- Tipping points can occur during climate change when the climate reaches a state such that strong amplifying feedbacks are activated by only moderate additional warming. Amplifying feedbacks include increased absorption of sunlight as melting exposes darker surfaces and speedup of iceberg discharge as the warming ocean melts ice shelves that otherwise inhibit ice flow.

What the citizens of the earth need is to create our own tipping point! Grassroots groups reaching the point where radical change occurs, to save life on our beautiful planet.

“Some experts are calling for 60-80% cuts in greenhouse gas emissions, but these would only stabilise greenhouse gases in the atmosphere at today’s levels. Given the time lag between emitting greenhouse gases and seeing the consequences (the weather we get today was cooked up over 100 years ago), we actually need to cut emissions by 90% in order to get the atmosphere back to pre-industrial levels.” Rising Tide UK

“In 20 or 30 years time, should we not change our ways, we’ll be committed to emissions increases that will see forests burn, soils decay, oceans rise, and millions of people die. If we don’t get this issue right, so much else is lost too.”

“Our governments appear quietly to have abandoned their aim of preventing dangerous climate change. If so, they condemn millions to death. What the IPCC report shows is that we have to stop treating climate change as an urgent issue. We have to start treating it as an international emergency.” John James, Countercurrents
