I can't think of any we can reverse. In my mind trying to reverse climate change would be like trying to terraform Venus. It's just so outside the realm of possibility for our current level of engineering.
- ljf 3y agoThe 'some we may be able to reverse' - I'm thinking of things like a lake bursting it's banks - once that happens it may then turn into a river and all the benefit of the lake may be lost - though it may (with will and funding) be reversible. But yes, may of the tipping points we face will be irreversible. As once the lake banks burst once, they are very likely to again and again.
