Carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases emitted by humans have brought Earth’s climate close to "critical tipping points, with potentially dangerous consequences for the planet," according to NASA and the findings of a new study.

"Only moderate additional climate forcing is likely to set in motion disintegration of the West Antarctic ice sheet and Arctic sea ice," NASA said in a statement about the findings.
