How is it an intractable political problem when a large majority of the US, and a larger majority of the world, is in favor of strong governmental action to stave off climate disaster? A political revolution against the corruption of our democracy by extractive industries is much, much easier than going to other planets. It might get a bit bloody or require you to march in the street, but it will sure as hell be easier and cost fewer lives in the long run. It is cowardly to assume that our political situation can’t change; it’s merely a matter of what kind of action you’re willing to take.
