I'm not a climate scientist, but supply chain is deeply exposed to climate tipping points, and that gave me a weird practical window into this. The tipping point isn't one big movie moment, it's slow loss of flexibility. When SourcingXpro was sourcing outdoor gear one year, extreme rain events in two regions delayed raw material flow by almost 19 percent across multiple factories, and nobody saw that coming that fast. It taught me resilience breaks gradually, then suddenly. So climate tipping point feels like when systems lose buffer faster than they can rebuild it. Anyway ignoring small shifts early will cost more than fixing them early.
