I am reading ‘Revenge of the Tipping Point’ by Malcolm Gladwell.

I love the stories which shows the (eco)system and dynamics around (and leading to) events, showing how social, technological, political, etc are interconnected.

We're seeing fewer decent-paid jobs and the need for universal basic income as we install more machines that replace former high-level work

Dodging Icebergs and Storms on Hunt for #Ocean #TippingPoint
If too much excess water makes its way into North #Atlantic, scientists fear it could disrupt processes that draw warm water up from the tropics. The consequences for the climate would be far-reaching: frostier winters in Britain, stronger hurricanes in the Eastern United States and, perhaps most troublingly, shifts in the rain belts that feed people across Africa, South America and Asia.

Problems accumulate silently for decades because their effects are masked by the inertia of the system. But eventually, you hit an inflection point where mounting pressure forces a rapid phase transition. The status quo collapses overnight. That’s what Lenin meant about there being decades where nothing happens, and weeks where decades happen.

So far, rich countries have pledged just $788.8m to the UN’s Loss and Damage fund. That’s 44 US cents for each of the 1.8 billion citizens in the Climate Vulnerable Forum nations: the sum total of our “compensation” for the disruption, disaster and death we have caused.

Gli occhi del mondo sono puntati su Belém, la porta d'ingresso dell'Amazzonia brasiliana. È qui che si sta svolgendo la COP30, un vertice delle Nazioni Unite sul clima che non potrebbe avere una scenografia più simbolica e, al contempo, allarmante.

the carbon level has reached 426.68 parts per million. Well over scientists’ so called “safe” limit of 350. According to them, the planet is heading towards oblivion.

Fossil fuel companies aided by PR agencies are contributing to a misinformation crisis that could halt climate progress. #climatecrisis #tippingpoint

Heatwaves will not revert back towards preindustrial conditions for at least a millennium after net zero is reached.

“The thing is, if we delay net zero – up to 30 years and even longer – those impacts are only going to get worse. We’re already locked into some, but the longer we leave net zero, the worse it’s going to be.”

In July, the UN’s International Court of Justice declared the climate crisis an “urgent and existential threat” that member states were bound by international law to tackle. “We’re at a legal tipping point,” Adam Weiss, chief programs and impact officer at ClientEarth, told the Guardian. “The law is going to be the power that forces us in the direction that we need to go.” [MotherJones]

Climate tipping points are close: Scientists urge radical action before it's too late https://phys.org/news/2025-11-climate-scientists-urge-radical-action.html

The world is still on track for a catastrophic 2.6C increase in temperature as countries have not made sufficiently strong climate pledges, while emissions from fossil fuels have hit a record high, two major reports have found.

Despite their promises, governments’ new emission-cutting plans submitted for the Cop30 climate talks taking place in Brazil have done little to avert dangerous global heating for the fourth consecutive year.

When climate disasters decimate the lives of millions, when we already have the solutions, this will never, ever be forgiven.

Two key questions at the heart of Cop30:

1️⃣ What can the world do to stop global heating accelerating further and faster?

An overwhelming majority of people – 89% globally – are concerned about the climate crisis and want action.

2️⃣ Can it be done in time to prevent unstoppable catastrophe?

The evidence of climate breakdown is gathering fast: the record-breaking Hurricane Melissa that devastated Jamaica last month, temperatures climbing above 50C in the Middle East, and ocean temperatures soaring. Scientists have warned that the first of a series of “tipping points” already appears to have been reached.

Gates vs Reality

Gates: Funds are very limited, so the delegates at this month’s climate summit in Brazil should direct money away from “near-term emissions goals” towards climate “adaptation” and spending on poverty and disease.

Reality: The net worth of the 10 richest US billionaires grew by $698bn in the past year. That money alone, the increment in the wealth of 10 people, is almost 10 times the annual amount required to end extreme poverty worldwide.

More than 5,000 fossil fuel lobbyists were given access to the UN climate summits over the past four years, a period marked by a rise in catastrophic extreme weather, inadequate climate action and record oil and gas expansion, new research reveals.
