   The South American #monsoon, which determines the #climate of much of the continent, might be pushed towards a “critical destabilisation point”, finds new study with PIK scientist Niklas Boers. This could put the #Amazon #rainforest at risk of large-scale dieback, which would in turn lead to substantial additional global warming due to additional release of greenhouse gases from the degrading trees.
