We are all familiar with tipping points. The phrase describes a process that typically starts slowly, only to suddenly change and become irreversible at a critical moment. While numerous tipping points occur in nature and human experience, certain events have radically changed the arc of history. The recent pandemic is a case in point, as the spread of the COVID-19 virus breached a threshold and morphed into a global scourge. Humanity may face a cluster of tipping points as the earth careens toward average temperatures exceeding 2 degrees Celsius.
