Just F'ing Great.
It's all gonna come down.
Global warming, rather than causing gradual, centuries-spanning change, may be pushing the climate to a tipping point. Growing evidence suggests the ocean-atmosphere system that controls the world's climate can lurch from one state to another in less than a decade-like a canoe that's gradually tilted until suddenly it flips over. Scientists don't know how close the system is to a critical threshold. But abrupt climate change may well occur in the not-too-distant future. If it does, the need to rapidly adapt may overwhelm many societies-thereby upsetting the geopolitical balance of power.
This is insane. Every time I realize a little bit of hope, it's clobbered by shit like this.
This life is going to be one REALLY fucked up trip. I can't imagine living past 50, dying in a world we could only imagine right now.
Even the next four years are going to throw us for a loop. Wait until you see what this moron is going to do to us. You just wait. You think everything's gonna be okay and peachy and it will be the same as always...yeah well just WAIT. We're in for it. I can feel it. And so can many, many of my friends.

ehhh sorry guys...we've been directed to run it into the ground so a world catastrophe gives us ultimate power over each and every one of you. It's gonna be a bumpy ride, so you better wear your seatbelt in that car that burns the fuel that is causing this whole thing. Yeeeee HAWwww!!
Grr.
