Scientists Are Mapping the End of the World. And Maybe, Just Maybe, a Way Out.

Positive climate action can have cascading effects.

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story:

Scientists are aware of planetary boundaries—a series of climate change thresholds that, once crossed, could cause a cascade of negative environmental effects.

Now, scientists are developing a methodology to discover “positive tipping points”— a series of actionable green energy goals that could similarly compound in benefit once crossed.

While we’re already well on the way to reaching some of these tipping points—i.e. lowering the cost of wind and solar energy—there’s still lots of work to be done to stay within the two degrees Celsius range stipulate by the 2015 Paris Climate Accords.

When I was a kid, Popular Mechanics was a magazine for people (like my dad and me) who enjoyed tinkering in the workshop and learning about how stuff really worked.

The Commie Killjoys finally got that, too.

Yep.  Back when we had to sell mag subscriptions for fund raising we checked the boxes for SI. Pop Mech, Motor Trend or Road & Track and The Sporting news.
