Fig. 4: Tipping risk for each of the four investigated core climate tipping elements, Greenland Ice Sheet (GIS), West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS), Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), Amazon Rainforest (AMAZ).

a Medium-term tipping risk (until 2300). b Long-term tipping risk (model equilibrium). The x-axis accounts for the uncertainties in climate response, with a 90% probability of the temperature outcome exceeding the lower bound (10th percentile), and a 10% probability of the temperature outcome exceeding the upper bound (90th percentile). The y-axis denotes the tipping risk. IPCC likelihood ranges are given on the right72.
