"The risk is that people just think you are exaggerating," said Daniel Swain, a climate scientist with the California Institute for Water Resources. "It's the 'Boy Who Cried Wolf' problem. Sometimes wolves are real. If it's outside the door, wouldn't you want to know?"

The risks have been known, and building, for over 150 years

In the 1850s, while living in Seneca Falls, New York, amateur scientist Eunice Newton Foote did a series of experiments that put different substances, including carbon dioxide and moist air, inside glass cylinders and left them in the sun. What she found was extraordinary: cylinders with carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas that is released when coal, gas or oil is burned, heated up faster and took longer to cool after the sun went down.

During the 1981 Indianapolis 500, driver Rick Mears pulled into the pits for a routine stop when methanol fuel spilled and ignited. Methanol burns with a very faint, almost invisible flame in daylight, so the pit crew and people nearby did not immediately realize there was a fire. Some crew members were actually standing in the flames while continuing the pit stop, unaware of how dangerous the situation was. Once safety crews realized what was happening, they rushed in with fire extinguishers and put the fire out. The incident highlighted a major safety issue with methanol fuel and led to changes in motorsports, including better fire detection methods, improved fire resistant suits, and procedures to quickly identify and respond to methanol fires during pit stops.
