The reality is we've been screwed since the Industrial Revolution. This is what our species does: Consume and destroy. We grow and multiply and fuck the consequences. There is no going backwards. Even after the skies are soot and the water is acid we'll be clawing at each other's throats for our easy dwindling unrenewable resources. It will be chaos and humanity may not survive and maybe that's the way it's gotta be to evolve.

Am I three fingers in and extremely pessimistic about our future. Yes. Should we try to change things for the better? God help us, yes. Do I think we will? I doubt it.
