"Extremes of global heat bring tipping points close
Urgent action on climate change will be costly. But inaction could be four or five times more expensive, according to new climate accounting: extremes of global heat are on the increase.
Submarine heatwaves happen three times more often than they did in 1980. Ocean warming events can devastate coral reefs and trigger even more damage from more intense acidification and oxygen loss in the seas, with disastrous consequences for fishery and seafood.
The ecosystems on which all living things – including humans – depend are shifting away from the tropics at up to 40kms a year. Extremes of torrential rainfall, drought, and tropical cyclones are becoming measurably more intense." ⁓ Tim Radford @physicsworld
