Past the tipping point of WHAT???? Climate change??? If that is the premise, it is completely false since climate change has nothing to do with human activity.
Rather than giving a long and complicated lecture of paleoclimatology and the coefficients of relative absorption of radiant energy by various matrices, let me make this very, very simple:
25,000 years ago New York City was covered by 2 miles of ice. It was cold. Now the port of NY is at sea level. It is warmer. The climate changed. In 1859 when Drake discovered oil in Pennsylvania, it was about the same as today---no 2 miles of ice, much warmer than 25,000 years ago. When the industrial revolution started burning coal in the late 18th century, it was the same. Without any fossil fuel being burnt for heat or electricity, without any SUVs or jet aircraft, the period of glaciation ended and "global warming" melted the ice packs and glaciers.
IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH HUMAN ACTIVITY. Simple, huh?
Now for the real joke of the myth of "climate change". In about 15,000 years when NYC is under 200 feet of water (the maximum high temp of the interglacial thaw), the "global alarmists will probably crow that they were "right" What a joke!. Of course 50,000 years after that when NYC is again covered in 2 mile of ice, maybe they will figure out that they've been had----had by the government, had by the media, and had by the "ecowarriors"
However, the part that is not a joke is that these same clowns want to spend 100 TRILLION dollars over the next 40 or 50 years to "fight" this.
