UCI and NASA JPL researchers have discovered a new way in which ice and ocean interact, causing rapid ice melting in Greenland. The discovery could mean future sea level rise projections have been vastly underestimated.

These results indicate that climate tipping is an imminent risk in the Earth System. Even the safe operating space of 1.5 or 2.0 degrees above present generally assumed by the IPCC might not be all that safe. According to the precautionary principle, we must consider abrupt and irreversible changes to the climate system as a real risk - at least until we understand these phenomena better.
In recent months scientists noticed that many climate models were not prepared for the real world developments manifesting now as the climate changes.
The study, “Interacting tipping elements increase risk of climate domino […]
