Irreversible sea-level rise, dramatic weather events after passing certain tipping points? And the Earths surface temperatures, how much will they rise if the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere is doubled? Current computer models fail in predicting these abrupt, potentially non-reversible changes. [Graphics: tipping elements in the Earth's climate system, based upon Lenton et al.
