It's a good question and the answer is yes. Agriculture accounts for 30% of emissions and current agriculture practices deplete the soil, which together with drought, water shortages, and severe weather, is destroying human habitat. Human habitat includes our ability to grow, store, and transport food. As soil degrades, human habitat disappears and so do humans. In prior mass extinctions, it is always the loss of habitat that brings a species to extinction. We are no different. Time is now running short for humans on Earth. 3-4 years tops.

Can anyone point to any time in history where a tipping point actually occurred. I can only name 3. One was when a super volcano erupted and caused the ice to expand past the thermal runaway point (visualize the northern Texas state line extending around the world) causing a global snow ball. The second was when enough volcanos erupted that the co2 in the atmosphere exceeded 2% and global warming ended the snowball. The third was when a huge ice dam (the lake covered half of Canada and part of the US) broke and dump more ice cold water in the northern Atlantic in a day than the Mississippi dumps in the gulf in a day for several weeks. This one caused a multiple degree drop in temperature in a matter of decades, and then a recovery slightly longer. The ice age we are in was caused by tectonic plate movement. Co2 could not prevent it from happening when it was 3 times its current level, and it can not cause it to end.

You are wrong and abrupt exponential climate change from anthropogenic C02 emissions does not care what cockamamie pseudo science you believe in. A volcano does not cause heating. It causes cooling. A volcano spews sulfur into the atmosphere, which is a reflective particulate that cools the atmosphere. Emissions from factories and power plants include sulfur particulates. These are causing what is known as the aerosol masking effect. If all the factories and power plants were suddenly shut down, climate change would accelerate by a factor of 3 because the Earth would lose the cooling effect of the aerosols. Climate change does care what you believe. It will take all Life as we know it anyway...including yours and mine...within 3-4 years. Mark my words.

First...forget the bogus dates 2100 and 2050. You were lied to and deceived by the media and the politicians, who watered down and distorted the science so they could keep getting rich from oil and gas. We are in actuality already beyond 2 deg C. This is because the IPCC moved the goal posts of the "baseline". They were at first calculating average global temps from 1750, when humans first started burning coal. Then they change it to 1850's and now..they calculate warming from the early 1900's. This means that the 1.4 deg C number they keep throwing around is bogus and is really more like 2 deg C or 2,2 deg C. Here in New England, we are warming faster than they rest of the globe and have already passed 2 deg C. The scientist's predictive models were all wrong. They did not account for multiple tipping points, which have already been breached. Climate change is now abrupt, exponential, and irreversible and will kill all Life on Earth within 3-4 years.

@roberthicks1612

No, the reason the ice went to the north and south pole is due to tectonic plate movement. When the Antarctic plate moved south, it cut off the ocean currents that would transfer heat to the south pole. This caused the continent to freeze. Then the Indian plate crashed into the Eurasian plate, creating the Himalayan mountains. The combination caused the ice age we are currently in. There is something called the Milankovitch cycles which causes the plant to warm up and cool off in 100k years cycles. 12000 years ago, the Holocene began. That is when the latest interglacial period started. That is when the ice retreated.

This is completely ridiculous. There is no way CO2 causes warming. There are two easy to understand reasons why CO2 can't cause the Earth to warm. 1.) Every ice core study on CO2 levels vs temperature show that CO2 levels follow temperature changes. It is an effect not the cause. You people have it exactly opposite. 2.) At the wavelength, where CO2 absorbs radiation, all of the radiation is already being absorbed, mostly by water vapor. You can add many more times the amount of CO2 and it can't absorb what isn't there. We have been hearing this disaster BS from so called climate scientists for over a 100 years. It's always doom in 5, 10 or 20 years or maybe a week from Tuesday. Exactly none of these predictions have ever come true.

But they can't regulate CO2 and there will never be any water vapor credits for some to get rich off of. This "tipping point" stuff" is the latest explanation but it is crazy. If CO2 caused warming than as CO2 rose you would get more warming, more CO2 would be released from the oceans and you would get more warming. The temperature would never come back down.

The nonsense of global climate change has been being spread for over a hundred years and we have had many predictions of doom. None have ever come true.

"If the models don’t have all the factors and how they interact accounted for, the model isn’t worth anything." But the models have been working for 30-40+ years, meaning they have figured out how to predict global warming and know what is affecting it. "President Eisenhower warned us about this."
