This Domino Effect is causing climate change to accelerate at an exponential rate.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/membrane.com\/global_warming\/Tipping-Points.html\">Tipping points<\/a> are Critical Milestones that directly impact the rate of <a href=\"http:\/\/membrane.com\/global_warming\/Climate-Change-Acceleration-Rate.html\">acceleration in climate change<\/a> by multiplying the number and intensity of <a href=\"http:\/\/membrane.com\/global_warming\/notes\/feedback-loops.html\">feedback loops<\/a>.<\/strong> Identifying and understanding these tipping points is crucial for climate science and policymaking. Crossing multiple tipping points could lead to a <a href=\"http:\/\/membrane.com\/global_warming\/Domino-Effect-Tipping-Points-Toppled.html\"><b>domino effect<\/b><\/a>, resulting in a much more rapid and severe climate change than currently projected.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/membrane.com\/global_warming\/notes\/tipping-points.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/membrane.com\/global_warming\/notes\/tipping-points.jpg\" alt=\"Tipping Points\" width=\"640\" align=\"right\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Push a glass toward the edge of a table and eventually it will fall off on its own. No matter how slowly or meticulously you push&#8230; no matter how you weight or fill the glass, it will reach a tipping point and fall off before being pushed completely off the table. No matter whether you believe the glass is half-empty or half-full, when the tipping point is reached it will plummet out-of-control to its end. This is science not fate, faith, nor belief. Human induced climate change has resulted in environmental tipping points being breached.<\/p>\n<p>Tipping points, when crossed, trigger self-sustaining feedback loops that are no longer dependent on human activity. Similar to when a domino topples over hitting two more dominoes that in turn fall hitting more dominoes. Thus, the name <strong>The Domino Effect<\/strong>. It can also be visualized as <a href=\"http:\/\/membrane.com\/global_warming\/Snowball-Effect.html\"><strong>The Snowball Effect<\/strong><\/a>. A tipping point is like a snowball rolling down a hill growing in mass and velocity (momentum). When a tipping point is crossed, it results in cumulative and reinforced global warming.<\/p>\n<h3>From the album &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/idea.membrane.com\/songwriter\/tag\/how-far-out\/\">How Far Out?<\/a>&#8221; by <a href=\"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/Daniel\/\">Daniel<\/a><\/h3>\n<h3>&#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/idea.membrane.com\/songwriter\/tag\/reggae-sway\/\">Reggae Sway<\/a>&#8221; by <a href=\"http:\/\/membrane.com\/rombox\/Narley_Marley\/\">Narley Marley<\/a><\/h3>\n<h2><a href=\"http:\/\/membrane.com\/global_warming\/\">A song about The Human Induced Climate Change Experiment<\/a><\/h2>\n<h2><a href=\"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/MegaEpix-Enormous\/multimedia\/V\/\">MegaEpix Enormous<\/a><\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Staggering-Clown.mp3 Staggering-Clown.mp4 Staggering-Clown-Reggae.mp3 Staggering-Clown-Reggae.mp4 Staggering-Clown-prelude.mp3 [Intro] Stand them up (To knock them down) Broken cup (Staggering clown) [Verse 1] Is this a circus (Involving us) Some sort-of zoo (Have you a clue?)
