runaway climate change
Runaway climate change or runaway global warming is hypothesized to follow a tipping point in the climate system, after accumulated climate change initiates a reinforcing positive feedback. This is thought to cause climate to rapidly change until it reaches a new stable condition. These phrases may be used with reference to concerns about rapid global warming.〔 Some astronomers use the expression runaway greenhouse effect to describe a situation where the climate deviates catastrophically and permanently from the original state—as happened on Venus.
Although these terms are rarely used in the peer-reviewed climatological literature, that literature does use the similar phrase "runaway greenhouse effect", which refers specifically to climate changes that cause a planetary body's water to boil off.
==Related terms==
*At a ''tipping level'' or ''tipping point'' the climate forcing reaches a point such that no additional forcing is required for large climate change and impacts.
*At a ''point of no return'', climate impacts that are irreversible on a practical time scale occur. An example of such an impact is the disintegration of a large ice sheet.〔
