Early warning of climate tipping points
Timothy M. Lenton
Nature Climate Change 1, 201–209 (2011) doi:10.1038/nclimate1143
Published online 19 June 2011
A tipping point occurs when an external forcing causes a qualitative change in a system. Human-induced climate change could push several large elements of the climate system, such as the Greenland ice sheet, past a tipping point. Given the severity of the potential impacts, early warning of these changes would be advantageous. This Review discusses the most promising approaches to early warning of tipping points.
