Yes, about 100 million years ago
When true climate believers start offing themselves en masse because they can’t bear the guilt of knowing that they are killing the planet anymore, then I will believe it is serious.
Yeah, lets go with that. So now can we please stop talking about it and just live our lives?
That mag now has the credability of NBC, CNN, and TIME.
What a joke.

Tell Greenpeas to park their boat and quit burning fuel.
Yes, we have reached the “point of no return”, so you can shut up...maybe even beat the odds by committing mass suicide.
The rest of us will just have to try to tough it out.
Yes.
So shut up about it, already.
“What is the best way to measure how close we are to the dreaded “point of no return” with climate change?”
When there is no more money to extort from productive society.
Mommy, I'm scared! Temperatures have gone up since the end of the Little Ice Age. I think we're all going to die.
Always moving the goalpost. Paul Erlich said we were doomed by 1980 unless humanity changed its ways. Then 1990. Then Al Gore said 2000 was doomsday. Then a variety of doomsayers were quoted in the press as saying each year between then and now was earth’s final chance. Now it’s moved back to 2020 with the devastating effects only to arrive when toddlers today are very old. And yet billions are spent today to forestall the unlikely.
OMG,we’re all gonna die.
Yes. I'm sick to death of hearing about it.
At least ‘religious’ End Of The World fanatics don’t demand tax support.
OMG! We must have passed the point of no return on Y2K as well by now!
> “While we ***may*** not yet have reached the “point of no return” - when no amount of cutbacks on greenhouse gas emissions will save us from ***potentially*** catastrophic global warming - climate scientists warn we ***may*** be getting awfully close.”
As a scientist who in my day was raked over the coals of scientific integrity, I am ashamed to see Scientific American publish such rubbish. How this ever came to be is a mystery to me except for the explanation that hard core leftists have infiltrated the ranks of American science to the point where they can now write nonsense in a journal that was once prestigious and greatly esteemed.
Dear David: We will have reached the "point of no return" when our grant money runs out. Best regards, Editor
We have passed the point of know return and now we are dust in the wind.
I regret to inform you the point of no return occurred on 8 June 2013 at 1857 hrs. UDT. At that time, the total volume of greenhouse gases exceeded the known scrubbing capacity of the planet by a factor of 3.27:1. Ironically, this extinction event was triggered by former V.P. Al Gore’s Gulfstream idling on the tarmac at Dulles awaiting the successful conclusion of a run to Starbucks. In the years since, the overwhelming majority (98.6%) of climate scientists have stated categorically that regardless of response, the planetary doomification process is irreversible. It should be noted the science behind this finding is settled and no further inquiries are warranted.
