This is practically wrong, for all intents. Just as the '1000 year' floods and other events have become monthly occurrences, most of the discussions of tipping points fail to incorporate the 'outflow' of heat as much as the inflow and rise, and the doors are closed and locked against anything that even appears to take profits and growth down by any amount. Our world economy is built on extraction of resources from a perpetual faucet of plenty, with any hint of shortages used as a reason to raise prices 'temporarily.' Whether or not the planet gets too hot for humans, humans have made the choice to ignore natural reality in favor of monetized artificial delusion of competitive fanatical consumptionism.

Now we can stop worrying about tipping points coming (they're here) and start the work of adaptation to the worst case predictions because there are no favored 'investments' for stopping the rising CO2 and methane except the ones greenwashing the big money of destruction with bullshit and tokens.

This is what Colonialism has always sought: maximum consumption of resources, converted to money.

Anyone saying "if we reduce 'x', we can reduce the impact of 'y'" is wasting time, effort and breath.
