Scientists warn that the world is on the brink of environmental tipping points, with severe and widespread impacts of global warming in recent months. A new report highlights the need for more ambitious climate action by rich nations while allowing developing economies to meet their economic goals. Antarctica's ancient river valleys, once full of life, have been discovered beneath the ice sheet. The UN warns of six interconnected tipping points that could have catastrophic impacts, including space debris and melting mountain glaciers. The overall picture of Earth's health is grim, but there are bright spots such as the rise of solar and wind power.
