One final point. Individuals have no ability whatsoever to change the big picture dynamic. We can however contribute to the first of the two absolute prerequisites.

I’m not discouraging everyone to do anything but live the smallest carbon footprint they possibly can, I’m just making sure everyone understand the dynamic here. A sense of urgency is needed. Gaia needs us to give a shit….
