Well weve already seen some improvemetns, so yea. but a few months of reduced pollution probably wont fix the problem.
Depends on how you define tipping point. If it is a point where perminant damage has occured and stopping pollution will leave us with damage, then yes we have passed it. Areas are already deserts as a result of climate change that likely would have been fertile otherwise. they wont just revert if we get our act together.
If by tipping point you mean a point where a run-away reaction begins where green house gases are released due to the already existing climate change, and as such stopping our own pollution wont help due to these runaway sources, then no we havent reached that tipping point and most models have the tipping point decades into the future thankfully.
There are a few such models that describe a tipping point, for example the releasing of methane from frozen sources, as well as the release of green house gases sequestered in deep ocean sources. But all of these are thankfully decades away from being triggered. But we are on our way there.

@freemo @oranje@cybre.space There has to be a "tipping point". We may have past it but I'd like to see where the human race goes from here. There are inherent incentive problems with our specie, in all aspects and for the last 2000 years. I'm not too confident we can hit the breaks to survive the change but I do have confidence in people like you to invent cool shit to survive the next ELEs.
