How are they shocked by anything any more? Ho hum, my world is full of carcinogenic hazards at every turn. The ocean is borderline too acidic to support life any more. The glaciers are melting far faster than our models predicted (because any model that predicted these rates was discarded as obviously wrong, politically unpalatable, and likely to prevent the receipt of future grants. Melting arctic permafrost now emits more green house gasses than Japan (#5 emitting nation). Except the worst and you won't be disappointed.

Odd, because that doesn't shock me in the slightest.
