It's a crisis in the sense that we, the industrialized west, are blowing past all the guard rails and in the name of comfort and profit. The crisis is that somehow we can't really wrap our heads around how bad it can be.

There are quibbles about stuff like precisely what year do we kill the oceans entirely or ho much will melting the artic will really do to raise sea levels. Along the way we appear to be so busy debating the specifics that that we have missed the point That as a planet we need oceans. We are animals who eat and breathe and we can't live if we decimate the biosphere in the name of burning fossil fuels in constantly increasing numbers.
