    It all depends on where the tipping points are, and there’s still a lot of uncertainty. If we can stop making things worse before we hit major irreversible changes to our environment, we can eke it out

      Permafrost is already melting in alarming amounts. We’d probably have to take drastic action immediately. I don’t mean in a few years or a decade. Now like, this year. But that’s not going to happen.
