The amount of "feedback" involved in climate systems is the very thing that makes them incredibly hard to predict and make solid claims about. The claim that there is "consensus" that a runaway process will happen if warming hits 1.5C, and that no other, countering feedbacks exist that could mitigate this effect, is kinda preposterous given the inherent complexity of what we're dealing with. Even something as simple as cloud cover, and how it would respond to a "warmer" planet, is stuff that there's a lot of uncertainty about.
