The New York magazine recently published a very controversial article concerning global warming.

The author of the article later said that he was describing the worst case scenario of global warming. I found the article interesting as it has made similar arguments to those found on this site.
The clock is ticking, and we can see the foreshadowing of many prophecies in the world around us.
