; Tipping Landmarks
: '''The Greenland Ice Sheet''' → A "Global Tipping Point." Once it starts a "Runaway Melt," it will eventually raise sea levels by 7 meters. We might cross this line at only 1.5°C of warming.
: '''The 'Day After Tomorrow' Pump (AMOC)''' → If the ocean conveyor belt stalls (see Article 412), it would be a "Sudden Tipping Point" for the world's weather.
: '''Boreal Forest Shift''' → As the world warms, the "Great Northern Forests" (Canada/Russia) are burning in massive fires, turning them from "Carbon Sinks" into "Carbon Sources."
: '''Safe Operating Space for Humanity''' → The "Planetary Boundaries" framework, which identifies 9 tipping points that we must not cross to stay safe.
