The phenomenon of critical slowing down (CSD) can be used to anticipate\u0000such transitions if caused by a bifurcation and if the change in forcing is\u0000slow compared to the internal time scale of the system. However, in many\u0000real-world situations, these assumptions are not met and transitions can be\u0000triggered because the forcing exceeds a critical rate. For example, given the\u0000pace of anthropogenic climate change in comparison to the internal time scales\u0000of key Earth system components, such as the polar ice sheets or the Atlantic\u0000Meridional Overturning Circulation, such rate-induced tipping poses a severe\u0000risk.
