I feel like I've been seeing similar headlines for a couple of decades at least, and I think we passed a lot of those points many years back.

Some of the tippings points have been crossed, others are still uncertian, some of them haven't. Professor Stefan Rahmstorf on Mastodon is worth a follow on this

Quite possible. It's hard to know whether a tipping point has been crossed until after the fact when every effort to reverse the changes fails.
