Apart from the sudden expansion of dihydrogen oxide from 0.1 deg C to - 0.1 deg C, <Nature is full of examples where major effects are caused by minute changes in concentration, temperature, pressure, salinity, etc > there's the example of the straw which breaks the camel's back.

Also, I'd say we have almost avoided flipping into another ice age by producing all that CO2 [not to mention diesel and fuel oil particulates which help warm the place up by making things black where they land]. A bit more CO2 and we should be home free! Weirdly, some people are wanting to cut CO2 production, thereby risking the onset of another glaciation.
