How are these terms defined and used scientifically them in relation to global processes such as climate change and biodiversity loss or change? What are the key differences between them?
Chat GPT weighs in: I have asked these questions of Chat GPT but find some inconsistencies in the responses particularly in regard to the differences between thresholds and tipping points. Below are portions of GPT responses that I find most helpful.
These three terms are closely related, but they answer different questions about how Earth-system processes behave under increasing human pressure. The distinction is particularly important when discussing climate change, biodiversity loss, land-system change, freshwater use, and other planetary processes…There is considerable overlap in everyday usage, however, so the terms are sometimes used inconsistently.
