Yes, there's some sort of alarming shift happening, but we just don't have - and inherently can't get - enough certainty of the details and the time-scale on which it will unfold to be screeching hysterically about it and trying to generate a panic. And - er - as JMGreer documents extensively, humankind have an alarming, persistent, perennially-repeating penchant for end-of-the-world panics... which have never yet panned out as terminally as they were screeched up to do. We need to be very chary of infallible items of doctrine, which are only questioned by people who must be treated at all times as derided heretics. The fact is that we don't know exactly what's going to happen. Bad? Place an odds-on bet on that. But predictable in detail? 10 to the nth power against. I'll get me life-jacket...
