The rate of alarming rates rising at alarming rate

To paraphrase Andy Rooney, “Have you ever noticed that every environmental concern, worry, or boogeyman happens at an ‘alarming rate’?”  Here’s some of the alarming news:

  • “Honeybees are disappearing all over the world at an alarming rate.”
  • “Snakes declining at alarming rate, say scientists.”
  • “(Kenya) losing wild animals at alarming rate.”
  • “Mankind using Earth’s resources at alarming rate.”
  • “Ocean acidification rising at alarming rate.”
  • “…primary forests continue to become degraded or converted to agriculture at alarming rates in some regions.”
  • “World deforestation decreases, but remains alarming in many countries.”
  • “Photos reveal Himalayan ice melting at alarming rate.”
  • “World’s mangroves retreating at alarming rate.”
  • “Genetically Modified foods and toxic chemicals are finding their way into the food you eat and other products at an alarming rate.”

And my favorite from the Onion:

  • “U.S. ice cubes melting at alarming rate.”
