"Think back to September last year. What happened early that month? What news
shook the world and reverberated for weeks, if not months?

That’s a question I’ve been asking friends and colleagues lately.

On September 8, 2022, at 6.30pm in Britain, Buckingham Palace announced the
death of Queen Elizabeth II. The news broke just 30 minutes before the press
embargo lifted on a major review of climate change tipping points in the
journal Science.

The paper in Science was truly earth-shattering, as it heralded changes that
could threaten the future of civil society on this planet. But it was the other
news that captured the world’s attention.

So, in case you missed it, I’d like to alert you to this important paper by
British climate researcher David Armstrong MᶜKay and colleagues."
