By rapid, Linden means the dramatic raising or lowering of temperatures that occurs in the space of just a few years. The consensus view of climate scientists working today, based on voluminous research and data compiled and analyzed in the last decade, is that devastating climate change is not necessarily gradual, but can be "switched" on and off, given the right circumstances. By pumping the atmosphere full of unprecedented levels of carbon dioxide, humanity, argues Linden, is squeezing the trigger on a loaded gun. Unfortunately, he seems to be very right. For the second year in a row, the ice has failed to reform in the Arctic Circle. Things are changing so fast I don't think scientists are able to keep up.
