Hysterical website brought to you by Center for American Progress.

From their website

Our mission is to transform progressive ideas into policy through rapid response communications, legislative action, grassroots organizing and advocacy, and partnerships with other progressive leaders throughout the country and the world.

addendum: for those confused, this is political advocacy and its probably not a good idea to post this stuff here unless you want HN to become reddit. Oh, how can it be advocacy if everything is true? Sometimes its not what you say, but what you leave out.

I wasn't expecting much from this article but it links to recent research in high impact journals. The ones that caught my eye were:

Science: Vast East Siberian Arctic Shelf methane stores destabilizing and venting

Nature Geoscience study: Oceans are acidifying 10 times faster today than 55 million years ago when a mass extinction of marine species occurred

Royal Society: “There are very strong indications that the current rate of species extinctions far exceeds anything in the fossil record.”

I'm interested to hear what the HN community thinks about this article. Last time I said anything about the "environment" a bunch of people responded with "Whatever hippie, go back to the woods then!" I'm an entrepreneur and a lover of tech, but without our environment... we're sorta ya know... screwed!

> what the HN community thinks about this article.

If you really want to know, I think that this article and all the other ones about the TSA, politics, and similar topics that are not strictly about startups or hacking should not be here.

You have a zillion places on the internet to discuss that stuff - reddit comes to mind - do you really have to pollute this one too?

You're using a straight Ad Hominem, or as pg calls it a DH1.

How are links to respected science journals "hysterical, scare mongering, idiocy"?
