I read a very detailed book around 2001 on climate change. The title escapes me now. The book laid out just how badly in the crap we are, and the main takeaway was that drastic changes to our lifestyles are the only hope for preventing climate change with disastrous consequences. No such change is evident yet. Even efforts like the Paris accord etc are like sticking our heads in the sand compared to the level of change that's required. Personally I'd advocate for population control, but it's deeply unfashionable politically to have something like a one child policy. So instead we give people the freedom to breed at will, and our ever growing population guarantees problems ahead. Still if humanity does disappear life will no doubt continue.

&gt; what happened 10,000 years ago was natural. What’s happening today is human-caused<p>So it&#x27;s also natural. It&#x27;s like calling the man made elements unnatural. Just because you ascribe constraints to condition, doesn&#x27;t make it any less natural.

My favorite climate change joke: &quot;They say we won&#x27;t act until it&#x27;s too late... Luckily, it&#x27;s too late!&quot;

This is a really good article but yikes, yikes, yikes. Not good news.
