> In reality, does anyone see anything other than a bad ending to all of this? Do I think we, collectively as humans, have the will and the actual resources to change everything about "our" modern way of life in 10 years? Nope. Not one bit. Should we stop trying? Nope, not one bit. Do I think all living things will die? No. I do think large populations will die as a result of climate change, which means they will no longer be contributing to and accelerating the problem. I mean if 20% of the population (number out of thin air) die, that means the factories that generated the things those people were consuming wouldn't be needed, the food they would have eaten wouldn't be needed, etc. All resources those people were consuming, and the byproducts of creating those resources, would go away. So, the "healing process" would start to accelerate and maybe after 100 years, we'll be back at the point where we get to do it all over again because we don't seem to collectively learn beyond what makes the most money the easiest way. "I know x is bad, but I gotta feed my family..." or "I refuse to see it as bad because that's my job and I don't want to feel badly about myself." I think the sad fact that no one wants to really admit/mention is we are overpopulating the planet. I know, I know... "you could take the whole population of the US and put them in x state and they'll each have x acres," etc. But that doesn't take into account the factories generating pollution to create the things that sustain their lives, or the space it takes to grow the food to sustain them, etc. I'm not a scientist nor a expert in this subject, but those are my layman impressions gathered over the last 45 years. People rarely change unless they are forced to, or it's too late. I hope I'm wrong.
