According to thermodynamics, irreversible chaos is impossible. All states are intermediate equilibrium. So, according to the observations physicists and engineers have made, no - irreversible chaos is impossible. Most changes to an open system can be reversed.

Chaos is a wrong word here, although it has been used as a political slang in this debate.
Our climate is much less chaotic now than at the end of the ice age. It is not particularly chaotic now, and is not expected to be. However, it is different from what it has been for some time, and hence different from what we - and nature - has adapted to. This difference will increase, and will cause problems for some.
Are the changes irreversible? By no means. But it may take long time before we are back to normal, some hundreds of years.
There are reasons to believe that melting of some icecaps will continue unless temperature is reduced well below how it was a hundred years ago, and these changes can therefore be said to be irreversible on a short or intermediately long time scale. Some of these changes probably started before the industrial revolution.

Quick answer........NO.
Check back through history and Co2 was higher then than it is now and there were a lot less pollutants.
Governments make money out of a crisis and silly people believe them.
Thousands of scientists have come forward recently and said the climate change is NOT due to us and gave a whole load of facts. The government scientists gave NO facts and called them stupid. Well what a fantastic argument they had there. Still believe them?

not at all,it is a completely natural event we are experiencing.To blame mankind or the industrial age for it is mindless.Granted the world will not live forever at least as time goes,but we are completely foolish to believe we have ANY control over it anyway.The world as an enviroment is more resielant then anyone can imagine if it stopped spinning today it would be a science issue not a man made one.Stop worrying about things you/we can`t change it is all just mental mastrubastion to me,but hey expand your thoughts on the subject,but try to stick to the facts not just the media.

Nature is inherently chaotic. they actually have no clue what they are speaking approximately, in the event that they think of "climate chaos" is meant to be a scientific term, acceptable for propagating apocalyptic mantras. this is clean few of the above have study the main modern-day IPCC report, or in the event that they have, they have purely study the political area. The scientific area, the long boring area, is an intensive to one hundred eighty from the political area.

I think it's heading in that direction, yes. Just look at all the increasing droughts, the stronger hurricanes and earthquakes - there is more devastation from these storms.

at the moment we are subject to positive feedback, until the effects of what we have done can funny be understood we cannot predict whether negative feedback will take place
