I notice no mention of the biosphere or its state of health, – I believe if you familiarized yourself the details surrounding the reality and trends when it comes to ocean acidification, oceanic anoxic zones, insect die off, disruption of pollinators and flowering timing, disruption of hydrological cycle and seasonal patterns, to name but some of the major gut punches being delivered as we speak, but at a rate that apparently people think they can ignore – I believe you would be quite a bit less sanguine about humanity’s future.
Nor do IU believe that you have any sort of realistic appreciation of the times scales for recovery we are talking about.
It’s deniable, but it’s certainly not escapable. 🙁
Really quite tragic, it didn’t need to go down like this, but I guess it was a communal decision.
