“On our present course, humankind will add more greenhouse gases to the atmosphere 
in the next 25 years than our forebears did during the past 125 years.”

“Localized ecological systems are known to shift abruptly and irreversibly from one state 
to another when they are forced across critical thresholds. Here we review evidence that
