The tipping point estimate is revised sharply downward

node

Lovejoy and Nobre argue in Science Advances that the Amazon dieback threshold lies at twenty to twenty-five per cent deforestation rather than the roughly forty per cent proposed two years earlier, on the grounds that fire, clearance and climate change interact rather than add. The revision is the most consequential number in the debate and it is a judgement about interaction terms, not a measurement.

A node is not a place. Drawing it on a map would assert something about the world that no stored fact supports.

  20. Supports the revised, substantially lower deforestation threshold for Amazon dieback and the argument that fire, clearance and climate change interact rather than add. V55 verification basis: the article DOI page was probed in this session and returned EGRESS_BLOCKED; neither the article nor any summary of it was retrieved, and the quoted percentage range is stated from the producing model's knowledge.
