minus-square@joelthelion@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink4•11 months ago we found that tropical forests can withstand up to a 3.9 ± 0.5 °C increase in air temperatures before a potential tipping point in metabolic function Not that close, fortunately. There are tons of other terrible disasters that will strike before we reach this point.
