What really spooks me is: how much of the baked-in warming, and warming we are unlikely to avoid, is going to set off irreversible tipping points?

- ljf 5y agoThis - the tipping point where a glacier melt is sped up, and then exposes peat and releases more co2 etc etc - there are so many little tipping points that we just don't know about. Maybe easy alone would have a minor impact, but cumulatively the impacts may be huge. A lot will also depend on the state of society in general when the things get tough, will extreme heat or extreme rain come during a war, or economic downturn, or in a pandemic?
