Studies and research suggest that severe glaciations turned Earth into a 'Snowball Earth' for millions of years due to factors like asteroid impacts and disrupted ocean circulation patterns. The Amazon rainforest faces a tipping point by 2050 due to stresses like global warming, deforestation, and fires, risking irreversible damage to its water cycle.
Climate change and deforestation risk an Amazon tipping point Our new @nature paper led by @BernardoMflores On current trends, we estimate that by 2050, 10 - 47% of Amazonian forests will exposed to compounding disturbances risking critical transitions https://t.co/ldZCT8KIea https://t.co/tjx6KeEp6l
Wildfires, deforestation and global warming could permanently destroy the water cycle that sustains parts of the Amazon rainforest if action is not taken in the coming decades, according to a study. https://t.co/rmT7Lh0FHg

A model-based study in @ScienceAdvances suggests a new hypothesis for “snowball” Earth: A large asteroid impact could trigger the phenomenon when the background climate is already cold, such as during ice ages. https://t.co/VaH00qqpWf https://t.co/WTd7MvgGN4
In Peru, a 20-year study charted Amazon forests—and revealed how warming has changed them https://t.co/ITdbhzq1KW
"FROZEN" PLANET?! As hard as it might be to think that, at one point, Earth was a bright white bundle of ice & snow, research from a group of scientists from Australia offers pretty concrete evidence of this idea.

Researchers found that if melting glaciers shut down the circulation of the Atlantic Ocean’s circulation pattern, the global climate could see major changes within just 100 years https://t.co/ydAakdfyl0
We could be closer to a horrifying climate collapse than we previously thought https://t.co/7FNXUgEKKw
The Sturtian glaciation was so severe that it turned our planet into what researchers call 'Snowball Earth' for 57 million years. Now they know why. https://t.co/1XmtkPBIgn
