there's a huge range of speculation. ocean tipping points most troubling worry. when 20th century began the oceans, which have more mass than land surface, were cool because of Little Ice Age. If they warm enough to stop moderating air warmth, that could cause a tipping point. oceans also are soaking up the "missing carbon." at some point they may stop doing this, and we won't like what happens next.
You refer to a potential "global warming tipping point". Can you clarify what "tipping point" you are referring to? While alarmists may state there is one, my understanding is that from a scientific perspective, while there are degrees of impact (the extent of which would be under discussion), there is not really a "tipping point" which implies that we have reached a point of know return and we have set a course for the extermination of life.
You've succinctly summarized the reasons why I no longer subscribe to the NY Times or most other MSM trash. Clearly, good news "ain't selling the news".
I still subscribe to the NYT and perhaps always will, though, at least once a week throw it against the wall.
thanks for the kind words
