engelska-tyska översättning av tipping point

WendepunktderWir nähern uns einem Wendepunkt, ab dem der Schaden irreparabel ist und, schlimmer noch, beschleunigt wird. We are reaching a tipping point at which damage is irreversible and, even worse, accelerating. Allein in den vergangenen sechs Jahren ist die Eiskappe in der Nähe des Nordpols um die Hälfte dünner geworden und vielleicht an einem Wendepunkt angekommen. In the past six years alone, the ice cap has lost up to half its thickness near the North Pole and may have passed a tipping point.

The point at which a slow, reversible change becomes irreversible, often with dramatic consequences
