I love that they characterize it as the “first” tipping point. That gives them flexibility to continue to write scare articles about a whole list of subsequent tipping points.

Wow. It’s amazing what damage mere mortals have done since the Global Warming Wealth Redistribution scam started!
NASA says: “Global warming began to be significantly influenced by human activities during the Industrial Revolution, around the mid-19th century, particularly from the 1830s onward. The average global temperature has increased by about 1.5 °C (2.5 °F) since then, primarily due to the burning of fossil fuels and other human activities.”
But like any crisis, it can be fixed by a boot stamping on a human face forever.
Right?
“the first in a series of catastrophic and potentially irreversible climate tipping points”
how can there be more than ONE tipping point? ... does that mean the first few “tipping points” aren’t REALLY tipping points because nothing actually tipped over? ... AND how can a “tipping point” really be a tipping point if it’s POTENTIALLY REVERSIBLE?
oh, and exactly HOW MANY “tipping points” are in a SERIES of tipping points? ... dozens, hundreds, thousands?
So my hour drive to the shore will be quicker? Will my black walnut trees be replaced with palm trees and can I grow bananas in New England?
Such arrogance, talking as those this is empirically proven science at a global level...that they “know” all the “tipping points”.
Unreal.
As far as the coral situation is concerned, my guess would be it’s related more to pollution than “climate change.” If we (the world) had been focusing most of the resources that have been wasted on the “climate scam” and instead cleaning the environment everyone would be much better off.
What I have read so far about this “climate change” sounds like a lot of crap to me.
