Global Change Misconceptions
Apparently while we are all heaving a sigh of relief from some signs of improvement on our environment, do remember that we have a whole world that has to be covered. There is still a lot of things to do and for places such as the Greenland Ice and the Amazon Rainforests, they are just some of the overlooked places in the world that may just have some changes critical towards global warming.
These are tipping points and one drastic change can go off like a chain reaction. While we want to get immediate results, we just have to broaden our considerations and this includes the areas that have not shown any real improvement just yet.
“The greatest and clearest threat is to the Arctic with summer sea ice loss likely to occur long before, and potentially contribute to, Greenland ice sheet melt,” they wrote in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
“Tipping elements in the tropics, the boreal zone, and west Antarctica are surrounded by large uncertainty,” they wrote, pointing to more potential abrupt shifts than seen in a 2007 report by the U.N. Climate Panel.
