But could there be positive tipping points too, moments where climate solutions break through and spread rapidly?Tim Lenton, Professor of Climate Change at the University of Exeter and author of Positive Tipping Points: How to Fix the Climate Crisis, says it’s already happening – from the dramatic rise of renewable energy to the surge in electric vehicles. He explains how in Norway, the 80s pop band A-Ha played a crucial role in making EVs mainstream.So, could positive tipping points hold the key to addressing the climate crisis?
