Dependence of key results on the ramp duration \(\tau\) in experiments Exp1–Exp6. (a) TP timing \(t_{\mathrm{{tp}}}\) versus \(\tau\); when a line portion lies in the grey area the tipping occurs after the end of the ramp. The filled circles on the red line indicate the presence of data; their absence indicates that no TP is reached. (b) Forcing values \(G(t_{\mathrm{{tp}}})\) at the TP (for Exp1 and Exp2) or \(G^{*}_{\mathrm{{tp}}}\) (for Exp3–Exp6) versus \(\tau\); the filled blue circles \(P_1{-}P_3\) correspond to the ESs for Exp1 shown in Supplementary Figure S5, while the filled circle \(P_{4}\) corresponds to the orange ES of Supplementary Figure S6.
