Scientists made a startling discovery.

The polar ice caps are melting according to a recent expedition, a hideous kraken from ancient past is frozen within we must reduce fossil usage or it will return to enslave and consume all humanity.

Evidence was mustered.

You can see on this graph that the ice between us and bjokugak, dread lord of the frozelands has gotten thinner every year since 1966

But there were doubters

Look. If scientists can't agree whether it's definitely happening soon or definitely happening really soon how can we trust them about anything?

Politics made things worse

Look, global krakening might harm some but those of us who long ago swore fealty to his illustrious tentacles could benefit! How come the government never mentions that?

Conditions de teriorated.

And this summer experts predict more tentacle-strikes due to the increased number of tentacles that have started striking

Happily it began to be a problem for business.

The kraken is eating into our profits

Technically he's only eating personnel but the longterm effect is similar.

By the time the world united against danger the only option left was geoengineering

I believe we can avoid a biblical-style cataclysm by blotting out the sun and pouring iron upon the waters until they become as blood

But it was too late

Celebrity orifices! A guide for summer

Monster on the loose. horrible death imminent

We prepared to die in shame

All those years you said our children's children would resent us looks like that was wrong!

The end is nigh.

Fortunately it turned out we had banded together all along

Scientists say that while swimming through the ocean, the monster ingested so much plastic that it asphyxiated and died.

And now sports!
