Tipping elements are components of the Earth system which may respond nonlinearly to
anthropogenic climate change by transitioning toward substantially different long‐term …

Based on suggested interactions of potential tipping elements in the Earth's climate and in
ecological systems, tipping cascades as possible dynamics are increasingly discussed and …

Climate tipping points occur when change in a part of the climate system becomes self-
perpetuating beyond a warming threshold, leading to substantial Earth system impacts …

The term “tipping point” commonly refers to a critical threshold at which a tiny perturbation
can qualitatively alter the state or development of a system. Here we introduce the term …

The literature on the costs of climate change often draws a link between climatic “tipping
points” and large economic shocks, frequently called “catastrophes.” The phrase “tipping …

Palaeorecords suggest that the climate system has tipping points, where small changes in
forcing cause substantial and irreversible alteration to Earth system components called …

With progressing global warming, there is an increased risk that one or several tipping
elements in the climate system might cross a critical threshold, resulting in severe …

In this review paper, we explore latest results concerning a few key tipping elements of the
Earth system in the ocean, cryosphere, and land realms, namely the Atlantic overturning …

Tipping points—where a small perturbation triggers a large response—can occur in many
complex environmental systems. They produce abrupt and sometimes irreversible change …
