Yes, it is.
We've already committed to this experiment. We're going to run it. Most of the glaciers will be gone by 2100. They appear to be melting faster than originally thought, worldwide.
There's no stopping it at this point. Despite well-meaning efforts to curtail the burning of hydrocarbons, this will continue for the foreseeable future in uncontrolled ways. Few, if any, nations will meet their climate targets (which likely will be revised in the future, and then not met again).

A study just published predicts that the Arctic Sea will be completely ice free WITHIN 10 YEARS.
And from what I gather, at best....if all countries suddenly set appropriate goals by an appropriate time period and did the work to meet them.....it will stop this progression and possibly reverse it somewhat. But it is too late to return to what we knew as normal. But that's not going to happen. And every time I hear another climate change/danger denier spout their support of fossil fuels, of factory farming, etc etc etc.... It is truly terrifying.
