‘Forest management alone cannot address the hotter, drier conditions that are making fires more intense … — that requires confronting the underlying crisis.’

The planet has gone through numerous climate shifts, mass migrations, and extinction level events.
It’s not what’s fucked. We’re fucked. The planet will keep spinning.
Even then, humanity is incredibly robust as a species. We’ll have human descendants running around on the planet for a million more years. This pain we’re setting up will be directly inflicted on the next two or three generations, as the global population evolves in the face of sever resource constraints.
We’re looking at a highly acute crisis, geologically speaking.
We’re talking about human-accelerated climate change here. We’re not talking about naturally-occurring events.
Yeah… Humans survived the last ice age. And that was with extremely limited technology, and a lot fewer of us to start with.
Extreme climate change might kill a lot of humans, but some of us will find a way to survive it. How much of our culture, civilization, and technology will survive to come out the other side is another question.
