James Hansen is right: climate change is accelerating.

Positive feedback loops are now fully engaged. The Canadian, Siberian and Amazon wildfires and the thawing permafrost are now pumping billions of tons of carbon into the atmosphere that we can't control. Carbon sinks are now carbon sources.

We'll be at 450 ppm by 2030.
