Some thoughtful words on overheated language.
If we use the word "tipping point" to describe everything bad that might happen as a result of climate change, what does "tipping point" mean beyond "bad thing that might happen"?

I would like to add that people are using the phrase far too much to describe events that may not actually be tipping points.
After awhile people will just assume there isn't a tipping point.
Trying to make complex topics simple will never be easy or without generating new problems.
