The Amazon Rainforest will enter into a sustained death spiral by the 2030s if deforestation isn& #39;t completely stopped in the next 48 months.
Amazon destruction surged 21% in 2020.

At that rate the rainforest & #39;will reach a tipping point in 10 to 20 years, after which it will enter a sustained death spiral& #39;.

Abrupt and Irreversible

& #39;If damaging tipping cascades can occur and a global tipping point cannot be ruled out, then this is an existential threat to civilization& #39;

& #39;evidence from tipping points alone suggests that we are in a state of planetary emergency& #39; https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-019-03595-0">https://www.nature.com/articles/...
