So your answer to my question is "none."
Sorry, man, after all this I won't let you off that easy. As maxwells explains better than I currently have the patience to do, the chaotic aspects of climate do make all equilibrium points delicate, ie unstable or semi-stable, similarly to what you have said.
But contrary to your overarching claim that chaos makes climate predictions impossible, this does not truly introduce any doubt as to "which way" CO₂ will push the climate, only how far and how fast. There is NO QUESTION that because of industrial emissions, we face warming we have caused. The question is whether we face warming that will disrupt agriculture, killing hundreds of millions, or whether we face **runaway** warming that will kill everything on Earth but cockroaches, viruses and a few mutant algae.

"Likewise, this 'too small' denier myth ignores the fine tuning required to maintain equilibrium in complex systems that juggle many delicate flux balances, driven by opposing fluxes, much larger than the net flux. Thus, even a small excess (e.g., human CO2 contributions) can disrupt the previous balance between large CO2 sources and sinks, if added too quickly."
See? Small input, large effect. We absolutely know that feedback won't make the loudspeaker silent (unless we blow the amp or the speaker with our feedback, ie end all life on Earth).
