As temperature and weather records fall, Earth may be nearing so-called tipping points.

Could? It talks about feedback loops which to me started with the permafrost melting in the early 20teens. Earth would certainly keep getting warmer for awhile even if the human race disappeared all of a sudden.
This is a distinct possibility. I do think the increasing temperatures of the planet is going to make competition for scarce resources play out in increasingly violent and brutal ways which could lead to self-imposed extinction of the human race. That’s a possibility as well considering the hard turn that the west is taking towards religious fundamentalism. Religious fundamentalism and nuclear weapons are a scary combination.
