Hint: There isn't enough time to do anything about it.

Not that this should surprise anyone.

And even if we did have time, we wouldn't do anything about it. The problem is too large, too gradual, and has the least effect on those most impacted by the necessary changes (e.g. the wealthiest nations).

This is crap, scare tatics. If the earth was in that much trouble it would shake rattle and roll every human to death to save itself. In the 90''s they said Miami would be under water by 2010, and was there last month and the same beach hotels are there just like before. Seems like if you use this Web site you would not be so easy to fool, but guess not.

The whole point of the article is that this is the early warning sign.

...it would shake rattle and roll every human to death to save itself.

Was there some discovery I missed that Earth is sentient?

Uhh... it frequently is (and it's only getting worse):

You are aware these things don't just suddenly happen all at once. Right?

It's all true, but > I hope there's still time to do something meaningful about it before ...

When someone says "they should do something", without specifying what exactly, it's better to do nothing. Always propose your idea.

What should be done is not exactly a secret and many things are commonly known to most people such as 'stop burning fossil fuels', the problem is not that we don't know what to do, but that the people in power don't want to do it because they are corrupt assholes.

I recommend everybody to watch the documentary COWSPIRACY.

If I just tell you the bottom line of the documentary I get downvoted too much because of unbelief, so watch it first.
