 The current (post WWII, and particularly 1980-current period) plutocracy supported by the fossil-fuel industry got us into this mess in the first place when in the 1980’s it could have been easier to deal with, see “Losing Earth” above. It’s part of the runaway system of big money in politics that’s in an unsustainable positive feedback loop that’s doomed to fail tragically unless there is intervention. Global Warming may lead to a tragic collapse option when there’s no intervention. Failure or intervention both cause suffering – which causes the least?

 But on the other hand, we know the science, we know the problem, we know the solution, we have the technology but we don’t have the political will. Because making money from business as usual is too lucrative.
