Things won't stop changing, and they will do that for worse. That is the scary part of feedback loops, is easy to get exponential. We have feedback loops that increase greenhouse gases in the atmosphere (and don't forget that water vapor is one of the most powerful) and so increasing how much heat Earth retains, and and feedback loops that increase warming (like less albedo because less ice). And hitting tipping points mean that things will go irreversibly in that direction after hitting them.
At some point we will reach runaway climate change, and it will be game over.
