Climate scientists refer to the term tipping point to refer to thresholds in the earth systems where small scale changes can trigger mass scale and possibly irreversible changes. Nine planetary boundaries have historically been part of this framework, and these systems consist of ice sheets, ocean circulation, forests, and coral reefs. When these thresholds are crossed, they have the potential of intensifying warming and ecological disturbance.
