Professor Schellnhuber will present on how only a small budget of carbon dioxide is left for humanity to emit, and without large-scale reductions in the near future, nonlinear changes in environmental conditions or "tipping points" will jeopardize the livelihoods of billions worldwide.

The Arctic sea-ice and the Greenland Ice Sheet as the most sensitive of such "tipping" elements, but as the Professor will discuss, others like the Amazon rain forest, monsoon systems and the El Niño phenomenon are candidates for surprising society.
