I don't care if it's non-linear. I just want a sense that if it works as planned, it will eliminate the problem rather than flying on a wing and a prayer. I suspect you are not going to get that. Rather that the present course is a near guaranteed disaster, just hard to predict how and when it occurs. The tipping point arguments are the most pressing. Best I can read so far is (a) there is as much of a consensus as one could ever expect in science of both global warming and of the extraordinary role of greenhouse gases in that warming. Beyond that one simply has to read. At least, that's where I am at the moment. Almost anything helps but there are no guarantees. And worst of all, no one can say where the tipping points are. But there are clearly processes underway that can get to the point where they are self reproducing.
