Right, but calling it a tipping point implies we have a chance to prevent it.
Like in a movie where the bus is teetering on the edge of a cliff, and there’s an anvil falling from the sky about to hit the back of the bus and knock it over the edge, you wouldn’t say “Well the bus has almost reached its tipping point.”
Or maybe a better analogy is a set of dominoes where you are looking at this one domino that knocks down the grand finale, but the dominoes leading to that one are already falling and have been for a long time. The collapse of the Atlantic conveyor is not the start of a chain reaction, it’s just one really big link.

The Atlantic Conveyor will not stop. It will stop going to Europe though https://youtu.be/tnVWUIhQ8dE?si=3WHusDe8X3_Q35Ah
