I really wish we would cut it out with the hopium already.
There’s no approaching, the critical tipping points are well and truly behind us. The next step is nature showing her creative ways to get rid of the pest that we are.
I don’t think we’re past all the climate tipping points; that’d start to cause runaway changes. Swift action right now would still provide a chance to lessen the impact.
The worst case scenarios would be truly disastrous though, and would cause secondary human conflicts due to unavailability of basic resources.
Might be sooner. That article is from 2023, that was before the rush of all these new data centers, who all needs billions of gallons of water a day to operate.
Let me run a few barf-gpt prompts until I find one that can refute your remarks and show you how those datacentres will have no environmental impacts at all.

It was pretty big news on the day it hit the papers in the UK, I think it was front page of the Guardian.
Everyone was shocked and horrified on that day about it, comments and posts everywhere, and then it faded away over the following days and weeks as more shocking and horrifying news about other stuff was published, till everyone forgot how shocking and horrifying this was.
We are caught in a system from which there is no escape and which dictates every facet of human civilization. It will not stop until it has consumed everything, at which point it will collapse, crushing humanity under the flaming rubble.
We’re way fucking past the stop sign, we blew thru at 120Mph, back in 1980. We’re fucking fucked in the long run, and it may not even be that long based on the way you see the oligarchs acting.
I think you should sell the earmuffs and heavily tinted sunglasses you’re wearing.
It’s not front and centre, but The Congo and Sudan be are already there. So is the war in Syria and Yemen. And thats just the start of the drought and famine wars. It’ll get a lot worse fairly quickly.
Four times you wrote “would” in those 2 paragraphs. I wish I could share your optimism.

No. Wake up.
90% of earths top soil is at risk of depletion by 2050
Fresh water demand globally will exceed supply by 40% by 2030
We’re not surviving the century.
I certainly fucking hope not, clean the slate and lets hope a species less addicted to loud angry leaders wins the intelligence lottery

I’ve not found any updates on these statistics yet, but when I do I’ll be using them instead.
People need to understand how fucked we are.
Holy shit…I can’t believe I hadn’t seen that water article until now. That should have been the top headline of every news outlet, every day.

We are about to get great filter’d.
Yup. And we completely deserve this.
