Abrupt change is already underway in some systems , and large scientific uncertainties about the likelihood of other abrupt changes highlight the need for further research. Rapid state changes in ecosystems, species range shifts, and species boundary changes. By now, enough of the hard work of measuring and modeling has been done to provide high scientific confidence that while we are and will affect the north Atlantic with climate change, and this will have consequences, it is very unlikely that there will be a huge and abrupt change in the coming decades. Planning for an abrupt change early warning system would benefit from leveraging the experience and knowledge gained as part of existing early warning programs, such as the National Integrated Drought Information System or the Famine Early Warning System.
