From this article:
* Tipping points could fundamentally disrupt the planet and produce abrupt change in the climate. 
 
* A mass methane release could put us on an irreversible path to full land-ice melt, causing sea levels to rise by up to 30 metres. 
 
* We must take immediate action to reduce global warming and build resilience with these tipping points in mind.
