Thank you!
I see you mentioned 2100 as a year of a potential turning point. Can this estimate be cut dramatically by external forces such as nuclear detonations, chemical fires (ohio train) or even a severe volcanic eruption?

Thanks for your question! Severe volcanic eruptions would be minor perturbations (in terms of CO2 injection) compared to the fossil-fuel burning. Chemical fires even more so, but clearly they are problems by themselves. Nuclear detonation would bring us towards an entirely new set of serious risks independent of climate change.
