Reply #11: I agree

The longer we wait to address the problem, the more drastic the fix. The more drastic the fix, the more difficult it will be to find agreement both domestically and internationally. That's why I say that nothing will be done until there is a large-scale catastrophe. And by then the remedy will be so drastic that human society itself will be in grave danger. At the very least, self-governance will be severely curtailed or abandoned.

Had we listened twenty years ago, we could have addressed CC with a minimum of disruption and discomfort. Even addressing it now --and I mean right now-- we could keep the disruption and discomfort tolerable. But that appears not to be in the cards. So, I suspect that the human population of Earth will plummet precipitously in the next 100 years. I'll be surprised if there are half as many people on Earth as there are now --or I would be if I lived that long. But I'd probably be more surprised to live that long. :woohoo:

It's sad situation brought on by gross stupidity and greed. The very people who claim that they want to protect "our way of life" are ensuring that it perishes from the Earth.
