ALL the models have been off.. They keep trying to say "by 2100"...when the actuality is that it's gonna happen WAYYY sooner because the feedback loop increases the timing and more feedback etc till it happens in 2035-40 and they scientists say they never thought the models coulld be so agressive.

The planet's systems are so intertwined, and SO large but also SOOOOO fragile that once the tipping point has been reached it cascades into a HUGE change. The AMOC is already collapsing. And the methane deposits etc are being melted in the Tundra. So yeah, sooner than later.

There's also the changes that loss of ice sheets and the weight of the water distribution has on the mantle/crust. Add to that the magnetosphere shifting and we're in for Mr. Toad's Wild Ride
