From @BAS_News's underwater drones to Oshen's self-powered sailing robots, our Forecasting Tipping Points Creators are working to better understand the long-term trends of earth systems – and develop a crucial early-warning system for predicting climate tipping points. ↓.
Scientists reckon they have arrived at a decent—though not perfect—understanding of which parts of the climate system are closest to a point of no return. Working out just how close they are is a challenging task Photo: Alamy
