Obviously I hope so. But man, some of the data I've seen makes it seem like we're talking about degrees of catastrophe, rather than avoiding catastrophe.



True. Advanced tech and science is our best hope.
You're right, but things need to stop getting worse before they start get better and y'know hopefully that's before we're all in the dirt.
 
pretty much yeah. I like this planet.

The planet is indifferent. It'll be fine.

Humanity, not so much.

Everything we eat has been cultivated over the last 50,000 yrs as we emerged as a species. It's all threatened; crops, livestock, even game species. Humanity very well could lose the things that sustain us.

Ugh. The Pulse shooting still rocks me to my core. Just can't imagine someplace so full of joy and inclusiveness - a home for so many - to be terrorized like that.
 
Honestly, I think it's already too late to stop climate change. The point of no return was 20 or 30 years ago.

As a lowly Ph.D student working on climate change, the consensus among most climate scientists that I've talked to (including my adviser), hold this position.

The major political talking points going forward in the 2020s would be on the economy, jobs, and probably the effects of automation. Right or wrong, people are selfish. Asking people to focus on what will happen decades from now, while they are struggling today, is a lost cause.
 
Who wants to bet O'Reilly or whoever talks about this segment tonight and says, "why didn't she say radical islamic terrorism?"
