Every time I see stories about runaway climate catastrophe, I stop and consider the scenarios and how it might affect how I lead my life, and none of them really change how I plan to do things. I'm working and training in ways I believe will contribute, and that is sufficient to calm myself. Basically, either we make all the turnarounds necessary, on every front - policy, technology, engineering, culture - to beat this stuff by a huge margin, or it's all over. I don't see a middle ground of "things kind of suck for a while and then it's okay" happening. And that guides a lot of my thoughts on other topics: I want survivability, and of a form which preserves key freedoms. I believe massive reforms to the economic and political system are needed to do it. I believe our existing social network structures and cultural norms are insufficient to address this. There's a lot of room to change in all directions.
