Something I'd heard about climate change many years ago was that it would happen almost imperceptibly slowly at first, then suddenly when we reach the tipping point, it would start happening very rapidly. I think we're right at the sharp edge of that tipping point and things are going to get very interesting very quickly.
And now the change had the inertia. There's no stopping it now.
The slow change and then tipping point is probably less to do with building up inertia and more in line with how a buffered system works.
