List three of the main climate change tipping points that may be on the horizon. Describe each, and its predicted impact on atmospheric temperatures and climate. (I am looking for environmental/oceanic/atmospheric tipping points resulting from increased CO2 emissions.)

Answer:

As explained below.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The Tripping Point in a climatic system is a threshold that exceeds and can lead to changes in the state of system potential points like those of the physical climatic system like the global carbon cycle and these include the land-use changes and global oceanographic and loss of biodiversity integrity.
  • The atmospheric tripping point is related to the carbon cycles and the increasing temperature records and geologically rapid rates of transformation between the different climates.
  • This reflecting on the planet's heat and temperature records due to an increase of the Co2 emissions which in turn is resulting increasing of the greenhouse gases.
  • The other tipping point is an increase of sea levels and the melting of the ice sheets and collapse of the monsoon Asia and which is linked with that of the environmental changes taking place over the ecologic realms and hot spots over the world.
