Keep in mind that the original papers probably use reasonable words like "increased effects", "vulnerability", and maybe even "irreversible".

The spokespeople take that and come up with phrases like "urgency", "crisis", and "last chance".

Then the media takes that and comes up with "We all gon' die".
