“…Tipping processes are afflicted with high uncertainties (in terms of likelihood or timing, or both), but also associated with large potential impacts on societies and biosphere integrity (e.g., Berenguer et al, 2021;Gatti et al, 2021;Golledge et al, 2019;IPCC, 2021, Chapter 12;Ritchie et al, 2020;. Therefore, they can be classified as high-impact, high uncertainty risks (Lenton et al, 2019).…”

Non-technical summaryWe summarize some of the past year's most important findings within climate change-related research. New research has improved our understanding about the remaining options to achieve the Paris Agreement goals, through overcoming political barriers to carbon pricing, taking into account non-CO 2 factors, a well-designed implementation of demand-side and nature-based solutions, resilience building of ecosystems and the recognition that climate change mitigation costs can be justified by benefits to the health of humans and nature alone. We consider new insights about what to expect if we fail to include a new dimension of fire extremes and the prospect of cascading climate tipping elements.

“…Wang et al, 2014), variability can reduce soil water recharge (Ryan, 2011) and floods can have opposing effects on productivity (Aragão et al, 2014;Brienen et al, 2016;Hawes & Peres, 2016). Studies reach differing conclusions about whether rainforests currently are net carbon sources or sinks either overall (Aragão et al, 2014;Brienen et al, 2015;Cleveland et al, 2015;Gatti et al, 2021) or specifically during drought years (Doughty et al, 2015;Feldpausch et al, 2016;Gatti et al, 2014). The direction of net change in Amazon rainfall remains uncertain (Gloor et al, 2012;W.…”

“…Essa agressão assume dimensões de catástrofe (produzida pelo capital). Um estudo com pesquisadores do INPE (GATTI, et al 2021) estimou que, em função dos desmatamento-incêndio, a Amazônia já está emitindo mais gás carbônico do que consegue capturar da atmosfera. Esse é o gás que mais tem provocado o aquecimento global, que em julho de 2021 fez com que a Columbia Britânica (Canadá), estado tradicionalmente gélido, atingisse 49,6º C.…”
