The UK’s Advanced Research and Invention Agency (ARIA) is allocating £81mn to a new programme that aims to create early warning systems for climate tipping points. These are thresholds within the Earth’s climate ecosystem, which — if crossed — can trigger devastating and often irreversible changes. As no early warning mechanisms currently exist, ARIA is hoping for a scientific first. It has opened calls for proposals to R&D teams across academia and industry, from universities and private labs to startups and SMEs. “Finding early warning signals for climate tipping points is like searching for a needle in a haystack,” said…
