Cool, let's start here, then: what tipping points are you referring to, specifically, and what is the evidence that they're accelerating?
To be clear: ocean temperatures are unusually high this year relative to historic trends, but with just this one year as a major outlier, there's no basis to conclude a tipping point has been reached, especially given El Nino muddies the data.
As for atmospheric temperature, 2023 is likely to be a warmest year on record, but January to July 2016 was hotter, so there no reason to believe 2023 will be wildly outside the current trendline (which, to be clear, is up and to the right):

The answer is literally in the first paragraph of my first reply. Go read it again. It seems silly to repeat myself.
