Gargantuan lobsters rising from the seas and enslaving the human race... It sounds preposterous, but it’s a potential and very real downside of global warming, which is building bigger lobsters without increasing the world’s butter reserves. Perhaps someday, when the age of peak butter has passed, we’ll look back at bread baskets and flaky, golden tarts as the harbingers of doom for a society on the brink of collapse. Until then, I salute our crustacean overlords.
