Scientists warn that climate change is driving heatwaves across the planet, leading to record temperatures and widespread forest dieback in the Amazon due to deforestation. Carbon pollution has boosted heat for 90% of the global population, causing unprecedented glacier shrinkage in Greenland and exacerbating hot droughts, pushing the Amazon closer to a tipping point.
Hot droughts fueled by climate change: “droughts in 2005, 2010, 2015, 2016 and 2020. Each successive blow — combined with ongoing deforestation & rising temperatures — chips away at the Amazon’s ability to bounce back & puts it closer to a tipping point” https://t.co/CZXF0esL4M
"It's not good news that Greenland's climate is becoming so much less hospitable to ice," says a scientist who found glaciers shrinking at an "unprecedented" rate https://t.co/sBFr6vmRwr
90% of people on Earth experienced heat boosted by carbon pollution during the planet’s record-hottest 12-month streak. https://t.co/v8m6y6tYIy #climatematters https://t.co/6Inck0u090
Deforestation of the Amazon may reach a critical point where abrupt declines in rainfall could cause widespread forest dieback, according to a new @ScienceAdvances Focus. https://t.co/pMxslYOBJB https://t.co/wd4keuYEjF
