No one can remember what that felt like. Looking forward, the IPCC&#39;s worst case scenario warns of a maximum 6C rise over the next century. Looking back, however, indicates that an unstable climate system holds worse horrors. Work by the scientist Richard Alley on abrupt climate change indicates the planet has previously experienced a 10C temperature shift in only a decade, and possibly &quot;as quickly as in a single year&quot;. And, around the turn of the last Ice Age, there were &quot;local warmings as large as 16C&quot;. Imagine that every day of your life you have taken a walk in the woods and the worse thing to happen was an acorn or twig falling on your head. Then, one day, you stroll out, look up and there is a threat approaching so large, unexpected and outside your experience that can&#39;t quite believe it, like a massive gothic cathedral falling from the sky. &quot;<\/div>\n<div class=\"delicious-tags\">(tags: <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/deanwhitbread\/economy\">economy<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/deanwhitbread\/environment\">environment<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/deanwhitbread\/eco\">eco<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/deanwhitbread\/ecopocalypse\">ecopocalypse<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/deanwhitbread\/ecology\">ecology<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/deanwhitbread\/ecological\">ecological<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/deanwhitbread\/extinction\">extinction<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/deanwhitbread\/climate\">climate<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/deanwhitbread\/climate%2Bchange\">climate+change<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/deanwhitbread\/globalwarming\">globalwarming<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/deanwhitbread\/global%2Bwarming\">global+warming<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/deanwhitbread\/biodiversity\">biodiversity<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/deanwhitbread\/climatechange\">climatechange<\/a>)<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div class=\"delicious-link\"><a href=\"http:\/\/johncleese.spreadshirt.com\/us\/US\/Shop\/Article\/Index\/article\/Be-The-First-4394599\">Be The First | World of Cheese<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"delicious-extended\">John Cleese Exclusive Preview<\/div>\n<div class=\"delicious-tags\">(tags: <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/deanwhitbread\/work\">work<\/a>)<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div class=\"delicious-link\"><a href=\"http:\/\/news.bbc.co.uk\/1\/hi\/business\/7987301.stm\">BBC NEWS | Business | GM and Segway create new vehicle<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"delicious-extended\">Fun fun fun!<\/div>\n<div class=\"delicious-tags\">(tags: <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/deanwhitbread\/mobile\">mobile<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/deanwhitbread\/transport\">transport<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/deanwhitbread\/personal\">personal<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/deanwhitbread\/fun\">fun<\/a>)<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ecological debt: no way back from bankrupt &quot;&#8230;the last time the Earth&#39;s climate really flipped was at the end of the last Ice Age, more than 10,000 years ago.
