Environment & Energy

The sacrifices needed by every citizen of the first world are unfathomable to people who’ve known relative ease and comfort their entire lives. Just the logistics of such an undertaking would require social and cultural upheavals never seen before in such large populations.

So, we get Trumped, there are invasions, cultural wars, and human shenanigans galore, some extremely portentous, to distract us. But, there is nothing which compares to climate catastrophe. Who wouldn’t respond with denial and avoidance.

Now, the ramifications of humanity’s inability or unwillingness to act pushes unavoidable dystopia upon our next generations. Sorry kids, we fucked it up, but you must deal the best you can. Our hope going forward is that some lesser part of our populations will adapt, and that will be a bit of a mad scramble.

You see it differently? How so?
