Heat stored in the earth system: Where does the energy go? The GCOS earth heat inventory team
Human-induced atmospheric composition changes cause a radiative imbalance at the top of
the atmosphere which is driving global warming. This Earth energy imbalance (EEI) is the …

Exceeding 1.5 C global warming could trigger multiple climate tip** points
Climate tip** points occur when change in a part of the climate system becomes self-
perpetuating beyond a warming threshold, leading to substantial Earth system impacts …
