I'm in the same place without having read that piece you mentioned. And I'm not going to be looking it up.
As I see it, climate change is the greatest threat the human race has ever faced. It makes World War II look like a squabble in a kindergarten playground. We should all be INCREDIBLY impacted by this, and yet everyone keeps going on as if nothing is happening.
But I think 50 years is a little bit of a narrow time frame. More likely we'll all die within 100 to 150 years. I mean, our species will go extinct.
Lately I've been thinking about what a sane society would do to try to mitigate the worst effect of climate change, while preparing society for the world that's coming. A world without fossil fuels or basic infrastructure.
