How do you know what signs represent post-tipping point and what don't? It would take some heavy duty physics and meteorology to know one way or the other, no?
Living in South Texas it sure feels like something changed this year; I've never seen so many trees die.
If we are unable to determine the point of no return, then perhaps that would be good reason to stop changing the carbon content of the only planet we can occupy, but I have also come to believe that the changes to come are inevitable and likely terrible.

Problem is what if are already past point of no return and extinction of human race is inevitable? And all we can do is postpone it? Would releasing such info help anyone or would only hasten fall of our civilization?
We just don't know what big corporations hide in their research, like they hidden similar stuff in the past?
Personally I think people should stop having children and prepare humanity for an orderly winding down, but that seems pretty unlikely on a number of levels. I suppose we all have to live in denial of our inevitable demise because how else would we get out of bed in the morning? It seems collectively we'll just continue to ignore the problems until they consume us.
