  I feel like through all the worst times in the world, there was At least a relatively safe guarantee the biosphere would be there to support you. We’re destroying that like never before so I think that it’s a much worse time for our future prospects personally. No other thing worries me more right now than climate change. Having a habitat to live in is important, it might be easy to forget that we’re animals too but I think as we look around at the extinction at other species via our smartphones, we don’t realise this is our future too if the current trajectory doesn’t turn around very, very fast.

  It is now, but the threat of climate change's short- and medium-term effects has people scared (quite reasonably) that our record of increasing safety will come to a screaming reversal in the next 50-75 years.
