We could, of course, hit some bifurcation in the system where we lose all the summer Arctic sea ice or the Amazon forest, which is bad enough, and could possibly transition the climate to a different «solution» on a hysteresis diagram... this to me would represent more of a step-wise jump (akin to a larger bifurcation that you get in a snowball Earth as you gradually reduce CO2 or the solar constant); but ultimately these represent different behavior than «the interannual variability of the large scale dynamics will increase» or that for some reason the climate should be susceptible to more «flip flops» (as in the glacial Heinrich / D - O events), of which I am aware of no observational or theoretical support.

The issue runs deeper than this, since such a regime shift could indicate the low - but - finite - probability of some sort of bifurcation point in the system... I have seen this behavior in GCM's, not necessarily dor a doubling of CO2, but for higher concentrations, and as others have noted, the world doesn't end once we double CO2.»

Some might regard this as the telltale of the approach to or occupancy of a bifurcation, which in turn may be due to the reciprocal of the sensitivity approaching (or passing through zero and becoming negative) during the transitions.
