... Oh, my.

This article is both topical and excellent.  I especially like the 
principle that even when things are different from our world, there are 
still problems because "it's always something".  At my finer moments, 
I've treated my own Earth 2011 world outbreak of global cooling like 
that.  But this outbreak is uglier, because it's of human origin.
