PETM 2 the Sequel?

I think it is not risque, given the literature of late, such as this example from MIT, that the 2 degree C "guide rail" is quickly receding from view in our rear view mirrors.
I think those of us interested in the subject of rapid climate change adaptation need assistance from the climate change science community about the conditions during the wild and wacky days of the Paleocene–Eocene Thermal Maximum, with its 6 degrees C situation.

PETM 2     This time, its fast!
