Tipping points and the influence of the rapidity of change
https://www.scinexx.de/news/geowissen/umwaelzstroemung-droht-ein-verfr
Model simulations provide evidence that tipping elements such as the North Atlantic current are also influenced by the speed of change.With faster changes, a collapse could already have occurred before threshold values are reached.

Fridays for Future Deutschland
hat Wissenschaftler vom Wuppertal Institut für Klima, Umwelt, Energie gefragt, was notwendig ist um das 1,5 Grad Ziel noch einhalten zu können.
https://fridaysforfuture.de/die-machbarkeitsstudie-eine-zusammenfassun
Die Antwort: Bis 2035 müssen wir CO2-neutral leben und schon in den nächsten Jahren die CO2-Emmissionen drastisch reduzieren.

Methane escapes from the sea floor in Antarctica
https://www.morgenpost.de/vermischtes/article229572460/Treibhausgase-M
Researchers are very concerned about the rapid methane release in the Antarctic Ross Sea, southeast of New Zealand. Methane is 25 times more harmful to the climate than CO2, and the source of the methane is believed to be thousands of years old algae deposits embedded under sediments.

We only have 10 years left to reach the 2 degree target
It is time for action! Now!
https://www.t-online.de/region/id_88001878/klimaforscher-schellnhuber-
says the Potsdam climate researcher Hans Joachim Schellnhuber. If we allow this decade to pass by without sufficient action, our earth will reach a global warming of 4 to 5 degrees this century.

This May was the warmest in the world since records began
According to data from the Copernicus Earth Observation Programme
These records started in 1979, and in parts of Siberia it was even 10 degrees warmer. It was much warmer in Alaska and Antarctica. The CO2 concentration also reports new records, at the Zugspitze 418 ppm in March 2020, which is 3 ppm more than in March 2019.

More volcanic eruptions due to climate change?
https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/get-ready-for-more-volcanic
The reason is said to be a decreasing pressure on the earth's crust because the ice is melting.
