@cashandcarrots @MichaelEMann @hausfath @rahmstorf @GlobalEcoGuy @robdelaet There's always more to look at! That paper says "net result would be desert conditions and not the savannah-like conditions indicated by conventional (without biotic pump) climate
@Lacertko Agreed! As indeed our old model results from the early 2000s suggested But even so, it would be better to avoid the tipping point completely, rather than simply delay it https://t.co/ZtlDsz5Y2c
@Lacertko @richardabetts Yep, stomatal closure leading to reduced transpiration, in turn leading to reduced rainfall. I think @richardabetts saw something similar in his 2004 paper https://t.co/iHXUaXFWKe?

One model result our team is known for is the (in)famous "Amazon die-back" - the HadCM3 model simulated a severe drying in Amazonia, partly due to teleconnections from particular ocean warming patterns. This was magnified by feedbacks from the forest loss
