Scientists fear planetary shift as record ocean heat enters second year | Warming trend could represent a major change to Earth systems that cannot be reversed on any human time scale

Yes it's time to freak out...

...about the AWESOME savings at your local Dollar Tree! Where plastic trinkets are 2 for 1 - that's right, 2 for 1 - all this week! The more plastic trinkets you buy the more you save!! Now THAT is a recipe for hope!!!

The time to freak out was probably before you or I were even born.

We should be freaking out, but as Silence7 says in the text body, we can still limit how much hotter things will get, but we need to move quickly.

Nah, we're getting ready to get fucked.
Whatever disagreement still exists is what kind of lube to use before we assume the position.
