From a serious scientific paper’s abstract:

The severity of damaging human-induced climate change depends not only on the magnitude of the change but also on the potential for irreversibility. This paper shows that the climate change that takes place due to increases in carbon dioxide concentration is largely irreversible for 1,000 years after emissions stop.

So we now know what the next graph will look like. Whew! Time to sell the mukluks on eBay. (HT: Ace)
