    This world will burn to a crisp before the big corporations and government say they fucked up and believe scientists now.

      This is how I feel with the corporations. As a result of this feeling, I stopped giving a damn. I attempt to live my life the best I can, while still trying to care for the world, even though I know we are doomed. Nothing will change until something catastrophic has happened.

        Sorry, but this is such fatalistic bs.

        So much has changed.

        I remember acid rain.
        I remember leaded gas.
        I remember 12mpg cars.
        I remember the photos of terrible brown smog floating over Los Angeles.
        I remember before anyone had a recycling bin.
        I remember…

        The list goes on. And I’m only a handful of decades old.

        Can we do more? Yes.
        Should we do more? Absolutely.
        Are more people aware of that than ever before? Yes.

        Humans have technologied their way out of so much shit, I am not ready to give up on us yet.

          Will we do more? No.

          We have only got so far with technology because it resulted in sales. When the goal is less sales, less industry, less mindless consumption, no innovation is going to happen.

            Ah, but you forget about the rubber band finally snapping. When it is released there will be push back and things will happen quickly.

            Now the real question becomes, how much more can we take. I believe we are reaching a tipping point where the uber-rich either help, or are removed. And I think they are starting to see that too.

          Part of the work has to be processing the emotions of our past failures. It’s okay to feel fatalistic for a minute just to sit with those feelings. But we do need to get over it sooner or later and get to work, too.
