The Amazon region is also on the brink of a so called #TippingPoint.. Once 'we' pass that, it's only downhill with no chance of reversing it any more !

Strange story from my home country:
the deliberate flooding of a Dutch 'Polder' (famous Dutch land below sealevel)

"The Dutch polder dilemma"
by Flavia Cosoveanu for Next Blue

https://www.next.blue/the-dutch-polder-dilemma

Quotes:
"Depoldering of the Hedwige polder is a unique case. The Hedwige polder is in the south of The Netherlands at the border with Belgium. ..//.. Hedwige was depoldered or ‘given back to the sea’ in 2018 as a nature compensation measure because of the deepening of the Westerschelde channel for navigation and the expected accelerated sea level rise by 2100."

"For researchers like me, Hedwige raises a lot of questions on the implications of depoldering: How will depoldering affect the multi-functionality of the larger polder landscape in future? How will climate change affect this changed polder landscape?"

"Greta Thunberg Calls COP28 Outcome a 'Betrayal'"
by Olivia Rosane for Common Dreams

I'll let her esplain;
https://www.commondreams.org/news/thunberg-cop28-not-sufficient?

Quotes:
"This COP has once again proven that the COP processes are not working in our favor," the climate activist said.
"Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg called the outcome of the 28th United Change Climate Conference—which agreed to "transitioning away from fossil fuels" but stopped short of the phaseout demanded by civil society and climate-vulnerable nations—a "betrayal and a stab in the back."
""We've already had first steps and they haven't led us anywhere," Thunberg said. "The emissions are still increasing. We are experiencing record highs."

It sure seems a lot 1600+ institutions and $41 Trillion
but it is the USA. The dimension of figures is different.

'Huge': 1,600+ Institutions Holding $41 Trillion in Assets Have Now Divested From Fossil Fuels"
by Olivia Rosane for Common Dreams

https://www.commondreams.org/news/16000-divest-fossil-fuels

Quotes:
"The milestone, one campaigner said, should "give hope to folks that we are making an impact."
"This milestone follows years of attempted shareholder engagement, now a proven futile strategy, with fossil fuel corporations hell-bent on our destruction."
"The success of the divestment movement has been driven by "people power, 100%," Gray said."
""Oil companies are finding it increasingly difficult to raise financing amid rising ESG and sustainability concerns."
