The phenomenon being talked about are called 'tipping points', and are well known in science and have happened in the Earth's past many times and in other physical systems smaller than the entire Earth they are also well known in physics and the sciences.....what is a gradual or even increasing change suddenly becomes a run-away or even irreversible change.
I know many like to play with the notion that climate change now going on is not human induced. Dream on..... This [Environmental Science] is what I got my graduate degrees in [all the other political research is a private passion and avocation]. Yes, one can find some qualified [sic] scientists who deny anthropogenic climate change, but they are getting very few and far between and most of them are on big Energy or Big Business payrolls.
We humans and all the other species are facing something way out of our depth to control - despite it being of our creation. Our own naivete and denial, along with the rich's propaganda machinery is letting the chance to stop this catastrophe for all living things on the Planet from coming to pass. Yes, some life will survive, but most species will not [most large creatures in the oceans are down by 50% and more just since WW2!] - and most humans will either not survive or will suffer horribly.
