I read a lot about these sort of bleak predictions from people very in the weeds on the topics, but rarely see it being surfaced in a way that's easily citeable. I've seen second hand reports that the Amazon rain forest will experience it's tipping point within the next 3-5 years no matter what happens and even that it's already tipped, but we haven't figured it out yet. Frustrating that such dire claims aren't widely reported and made more aware. I fear that everything climate/earth system related is stuck in with the view that we should only say how bad things are when it's already over and measurable beyond any sort of doubt. That obviously leaves the public with no time to act

The public simply refuses to believe the truth. Facts don’t matter anymore in the public discourse.
