Since it's been warmer than now in the past 10K years (and they call one of those warm periods the Holocene Climate Optimum), I can say I believe we have not crossed any climate tipping point. I've been reading recently about TX history in the 1850's and 1860's. There were severe droughts in those years as bad as the dust bowl years. I know temperatures in the 1930's were warmer than today, at least in the US. I suspect that was true of the period leading up to and during the Civil War too. Between a third and a half of cattle on the southern plains died or had to be destroyed during the dust bowl and a similar thing happened to the buffalo during the 1850's and 1860's. The decline of buffalo herds wasn't only due to over-hunting. Indians were reduced to eating their horses and raided into central TX taking back thousands of head of cattle to eat.
