I know we’re fucked. But I refuse to believe that we cannot change. It will still get significantly worse, that I’m fairly sure of. But I also think that at some point for one renewables lobby is bigger than fossil and will actively fight fossilized lobby and that humans will see on a broader scale that we need to change. All of this is already in progress. I doubt doomerism does us any good. I’d agree that global collaboration would help significantly (and to a part this is happening already). Also keep in mind we’re prone to talk about extremes, like capitalism, communism, socialism etc. While a mix of those is more accurate for most states (social market economy). USA is probably much closer to capitalism, but I doubt their system will work much longer it’s too polarized to be “stable” much longer.

So while it will get ugly (and let’s hope that climate scientists weren’t too optimistic) I think we at least may be able too avoid a runway hothouse earth and stabilize the climate to at least human survivability (which is still sad…)
