Evidence is mounting that abrupt and irreversible shifts in the Earth system — such as the loss of the Amazon rainforest or the West Antarctic ice sheet — are more likely than was thought.

Seven climate scientists look at the evidence for tipping points, explore the effects and urge an emergency response.
