    Last call was 40 years ago when Carl Sagan went before congress and told us all how it was going to be.

    Now the bar has been closed for hours, everyone is still drinking, and 3 rich guys are pissing on the “closed” sign.

    We’ve been fucked for a while, it’s just starting to hurt now.

      While true that it’s too late to avoid consequences, doomerism is just as much a trap to keep you complacent as climate denial is. If we act now or relatively soon, we can still avoid the worst consequences. It is going to suck, no matter what, but the fight isn’t over.
