Vulnerability Of The Climate System

• Our climate is bonded by a series on complex interactions between several interlocking systems

• A modification of one of these system could trigger a destabilization of our climate

• There are many unknowns about the behavior of the climate system and how it will react to change

• Humans are modifying the carbon cycle to the extent that noticeable changes in the climate system are already starting to take place

• Evidences from the past shows that sometimes the climate suddenly changes when pressures pass a certain point. Continuing to modify the carbon cycle at the current rate by releasing large amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other Greenhouse gases into the atmosphere is posing some serious risks to the stability of our climate

• If our climate was to suddenly change it would be impossible to reverse with adaptation as the only alternative
