    Too late for what? All those tipping points mean is that society will need to adapt to a new normal:
    Droughts in places that normally have water. Floods in places that have droughts. Worse fire/storm seasons, etc.

    I think too many people jump straight to the conclusion of those tipping points meaning “the end of the world” rather than addressing what will actually happen. Yes, the world will change, but it will go on. Humans will adapt, and hopefully we learn from our mistakes.

      Too late to continue with agriculture on a mass scale, and eventually even on a small scale. The vast majority of us will die, no matter how hard we adapt. Agriculture is what allows civilization and growth to come into existence. Fortunately we are killing our ability to have agriculture. Now I completely support this; civilization is the cancer destroying our planet and our relationship with it.
