I am, as you know, always sympathetic to your arguments in this vein. But I'd emphasize that, hell yes, 2014 matters. This three year period is crucial -- as all of you know -- for curtailing the death throes of this planet, brought on by climate change, which will be locked into inevitability unless they are ameliorated really fucking soon. So yes, every year counts, and for a broader reason than that you outline in your post. If the planet was just fine, I'd agree with you. But we don't have the kind of time where we can implode the system and build a radical leftist movement. If it hasn't happened in the last 50 years it'll take at least the next 50, and by then the oceans will be barren. To start with. So.
