<<<He said the tipping point was ten years out. He said that a few years ago when he was doing his movie.>>> This is what I found in an Rolling Stone interview: And that has to be done within ten years? No, we don't have to do all of it in ten years -- that would be impossible. What the scientists are saying when they give this dark warning is that we may have as little as ten years before we cross a tipping point, beyond which there's an irretrievable process of degradation. They are saying that we have to make a large, good-faith start -- to first reduce the amount of global-warming pollution, and then eventually to flatten it and turn it down. It is very possible to start leveling it out within the next five years.
