I'm slightly more optimistic. We've waged war against each other on the scale necessary to impact this problem. I don't understand how wikipedia exists. I wouldn't have thought that human nature could be harnessed to create a useful open source repository of knowledge. Maybe, just maybe, we can harness our energies to terraform the planet and reverse our contribution to global warming.
I agree on the optimism. I'd say I'm cautiously optimistic. You reminded me of a quote I saw on a colleague's wall this morning. Margaret MeadNever doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has.
