Tipping Points are only meaningful if you are stopping or at least slowing down. If you keep your foot on the accelerator you really ought to worry about the Stopping Point, as that is where everything ends.

Snowless Canada and we lost Acapulco this year, we are fighting in the living room while the house burns.

No snow is proof of the climate crisis, but when I mention above average snowfall or record snowfall I am told it means nothing. Which one is it, does snow or lack of it prove or disprove global warming? Also Hurricanes are nothing new.

Thanks. Very interesting. The UK.

Even if there is radical climate change (and that is a very, very big 'if') with the manifestation of numerous tipping points (including permafrost thaw, ocean hydrates dissociation, Arctic sea ice loss, rainforest dieback, polar ice sheet loss, AMOC slowdown, and Indian monsoon variability) the disruption to economic growth and well-being will be minimal. The world's economy will continue to grow making everyone much richer. By 2050 world mean consumption per capita should be $29,100 with tipping points or $29,300 without tipping points - barely noticeable. Apart from it being approximately double what it is now. By 2100 world mean consumption per capita should $71,000 with or without tipping points (Dietz et al, 2021). This is the most fortunate time to be alive in the whole of history.

Couldn't have anything at all to do with weather manipulation.. oh no they wouldn't do that to make us think a certain way.. so they can tax the hell out of people.. because taxes heal climates😂😂

We saved a lot of tax money on you not getting educated.
