    Will policymakers continue to ignore the signs and force the planet to face the devastating consequences?

    yes. yes they will.

    my only hope is rapid socioeconomic collapse caused by short-sighted fascist mismanagement, leading to spiraling declines in life expectancy (and therefore drastically lower global population and consumption levels). that’s probably overly optimistic though.

      We were already on track for a major collapse, i can’t imagine the fashies are slowing that down any. In fact, Trump at least is actively working to make things worse faster.
