[Quoting myself from another source:]
"There are, perhaps, two tipping points if one considers the United States of America response to global warming. The one people are familiar with is that point at which action taken by good ol' h. sapiens will no longer be able to reverse continued global warming.
"There is a second one to consider. It was [Ed.: Gentle Readers, note the use of past tense,] the point at which the federal legislature of the United States became so ideologically polarized that no effective legislative action could be taken."
Note. The exact year in which the latter tipping point occurred is still being researched and remains a matter for discussion.
Regards, stay safe 'n well.
