Graphic evidence that we have passed a tipping point: Arctic Basin Sea Ice

[GliderGuider]

In 2006 the anomaly burped briefly, then in 2007 it revealed itself in all its tipped-over glory.

All hail the Dragon King!

1. My mind is just having a difficult time...

...grasping how big this event is. It's come much sooner than I realized. When I was saying renewables wouldn't stem catastrophic climate change ... it was already too fucking late.

:O

2. Same here. This one caught even the doomers napping.

3. The lack of coverage is boggling.

I don't see the human race getting it's shit together in time to do anything but try to survive.

There was a time, just a few short years ago, when I thought, 'my husband & I are going to be exiting this planet just in time.' With each new report it's looking less & less that way.

4. Nothing left but to say sorry to our children.

5. We are currently in that awkward phase where it is too late to do anything,

but it is too soon to start looting, unless you own a bank.

10. Spit take

Told ya the gallows humor was going to get good.

7. I saw this coming 40 years ago. That's a long time to watch a rape.

Now I'm embarrassed to say how I feel.

9. 2006 is also when the weather started acting strangely here in Fargo

I doubt that's a coincidence. It appears that in 2006 a climatological screw came loose and we have been in Bizarro World ever since.
