I note your comment that abrupt climate change is still very much a speculative comment.

By now, enough of the hard work of measuring and modeling has been done to provide high scientific confidence that while we are and will affect the north Atlantic with climate change, and this will have consequences, it is very unlikely that there will be a huge and abrupt change in the coming decades.

As noted above, if the planet resists forcing changes (negative feedback) rather than amplifies forcing changes (positive feedback), then the explanation (only physical possible explanation) for cyclic abrupt climate changes is there is a very, very, powerful forcing mechanism.

A climate model that has positive feedback can be «tuned» by adjusting the inputs and internal model variables produce to make the model produce a rapid, very large, abrupt temperature response, to a small forcing change.

The implication is that complex and dynamic processes in Earth climate are very sensitive to changes in energy in or energy out — climate responds nonlinearly with abrupt change.

It appears in the climate system as abrupt change that looks very much like a chaotic oscillator.

I remain very concerned about abrupt climate change, but I am also working to demonstrate that if you accept the IPCC framing of the climate change problem, e.g. «forced», that models are over sensitive and the sensitivity is lower than inferred from climate models.

I think it's very interesting that we are now considering the possibility of rapid «episodic and abrupt» climate change, and yet we are constantly and confidently told that climate sensitivity is low.

Such losses of individuals that take species towards critical viability thresholds can be very fast — within three decades or less, as already evidenced by many species now considered at risk of extinction due to causes other than climate change by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature.15 The second kind of abrupt change is simply the terminal event in the extinction process — the loss of the last individual of a species.

An unintended consequence of this strategy is that there has been very little left over for true climate modeling innovations and fundamental research into climate dynamics and theory — such research would not only support amelioration of deficiencies and failures in the current climate modeling systems, but would also lay the foundations for disruptive advances in our understanding of the climate system and our ability to predict emergent phenomena such as abrupt climate change.

From the chart, it is clear there are very abrupt changes in acceleration and deceleration of temperatures, which strongly suggest powerful natural climate factors are in the driver's seat, not human CO2 emissions.
