   “My emotional response is anger. With every square kilometre of deforestation, every fraction of degree of global warming, we are raising the risk of a tipping point. Yet, it is incredibly simple to just stop deforestation. It is an absolutely unique ecosystem that we really can’t afford to lose”, says PIK scientist Niklas Boers, co-author of the newly published study on the South American monsoon in The Guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/oct/04/south-american-monsoon-heading-towards-tipping-point-likely-to-cause-amazon-dieback

     @PIK_climate @HistoPol I think we have already passed the rubicon. 🤦♂️

     #Overshoot
     We did.
     The remaining question for me is how quickly we can make the northern parts of South America and of Africa, as well as the Middle East etc. inhabitable again for unborn? generations.
     The #ClimateBreakdown is still picking up speed*, tipping points will be like using the "turbo boost" on KIT in Knight Rider.

     And even if nit, 300 mn. to 2 bn. #ClimateRefugees will.mean the breakdown of civilization as we know it.

     We're at least 15 years late...

     ...
     A second green revolution jointly using #Agrivoltaics and #WaruWaru and water-management technologies should be in its final stages.

     We lost it in the 1980's/1990's.

     @HistoPol @ogtrekker @PIK_climate As long as a few regions in the Far North remain habitable for a small number of primitive tribespeople, maybe as little as just a few hundred thousand people, humankind can endure and continue to evolve, and maybe one of the future human species millions of years in the future can begin building civilisation from scratch again once the planet can sustain large numbers of highly intelligent apes again.

     Human kind as a species will survive, very likely, but civilization as we know it will, also very likely, break down.
