Thanks, Daren, your post provides a useful vehicle for unveiling a new feature on the LR:

Dear Ask Loonie: What’s the latest on global warming, huh? Will the coming disaster be any worse than previously thought?

? Hyperventilating in Houston

Dear HyHo: Of course it’s worse. Here’s how bad it’s gotten. Not only are we all going to suffer through a series of cataclysmic meteorological events, like the Category Seven Ice Hurricane that will hit us probably the day after tomorrow, but also research now says that by the year 2050, 25 percent of all the world’s species will be dead. And that includes 25 percent of the untold numbers of species we have yet to discover!

Be afraid; be very afraid!
