How the Term "Tipping Points" Can Distract from Climate Action
Dr. Robert Kopp from Rutgers University discusses his recent Nature Climate Change paper, which takes issue with the utility of the term "tipping points." The paper asserts that this term can confuse policy makers and the public, and even distract from or discourage urgent climate action. Dr. Kopp's research focuses on understanding uncertainty in past and future climate change, with major emphases on sea-level rise, interactions between physical climate change and the economy, and the use of climate risk information to inform decision making. Count on an interesting and stimulating discussion tomorrow about the utility of the "tipping points" terminology in encouraging greater climate action, or does it instead result in defeatism? How much does it capture most cryosphere dynamics? For those interested, the Nature Climate Change paper can also be read here: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41558-024-02196-8
