My interpretation of what he did say is that we are already past the tipping point and that reducing CO2 emissions is useless...

...Well, 4 years of additional CO2 emissions has certainly put us past the tipping point.


I doubt that, but if its really true, then we shouldn't bother trying to restrict CO2 anymore.

You need an interpreter who doesn't speak American't.
He has never said "reducing CO2 emissions is useless". What he has said, more or less, in a 2011 paper, is that "you will have to arrest me B4 you build the pipeline or rip the top off that mountain"
