Worse than the Toba Volcano in 70,000 BC that bottlenecked our ancestors almost to extinction because this time we’re doing it to ourselves. Hubris mixed with greed and stupidity isn’t a good combination for positive outcomes. But we shouldn’t worry our little heads because some scientist type will come out with a sure-fire fix anytime now. Because intelligence is so valued nowadays and pointy-headed scientists in general are SO respected and listened to? s/
Or not. How likely is that when scientists are being labeled ‘alarmists’ as the funding dries up in favor of short-term profit investments in…fossil fuels?
