Yawn. Yet another possible, hand wavy, scientifically ambiguous-in-the-context-of-a-deeply-complex-system tipping point for the sake of hammering home a deeply politicized subject. Yes, I understand that we're affecting the global climate in long-term ways, but if any of those who really push these narratives want to actually start convincing the general public to give a shit, they can start by not turning out at least one new dramatic headline per week while most people keep perceiving more or less manageable climates year over year.

Or you can continue to believe everything told to you by people who predicted with 100% certainty continuous ice loss and then took 20 years to notice they were wrong.

If you read more than the headline you'd realize that this article does not support your boffins-know-nothing stance.
