If the summer sea ice loss passes “the point of no return,” and “catastrophic Arctic methane feedbacks” kick in, we’ll be in an “instant planetary emergency.”

I suspect we're already beyond the point of no return. The key now is can we adapt? What will the new carrying capacity of the Earth be? Not much room for optimism here.

Adapt or drown. Most of Florida will be underwater in 100 years at this new accelerated rate.

In fact, this kind of fluctuation isn't unexpected. Whenever you have a system in equilibrium and perturb it one way (think a spring or a pendulum), it tends to swing back the other way almost as much.
