How bad? and When? Answer: Worse and Sooner

I try to avoid expressing my hypervigilance much - but this may be appropriate. Global warming is totally ignored. Global denial is getting delusional.

This is the latest discussion from the global warming front...

This is picking up on some very disturbing news - not yet peer reviewed - but very big change is becoming more inevitable.   Other sites discussed this, but this guy seems to have the best writing.

For me, I think the answers may be more Zen- like, Zen something. Techno-existentialist quandary here.

Choose: Insanely radical change to save the very future of the species? Or let go and live out the lovely end days.   Or how much in between?

I still want to keep trying to discover "how bad?" and "when?"

This disquieting news of Methane melting suggests Worse and Sooner.

I am left facing my own life now and trying to enjoy it.   So far, I predict things will get slightly messy and chaotic fairly soon (years), but the real horrors may come about in mid century. But paleoclimatological studies posit very rapid and radical climate changes in the past - changes in 2 to 10 years.   I call it possible but implausible. For now.
