Your assessment of our predicament is accurate and, of course, deeply unsettling. But much as I would love to be able to “fix” climate change, I don’t think it is possible. Our global manufacturing and transportation infrastructures overwhelmingly depend on the cheap and abundant net energy available from fossil fuels—yet as you observe, fossil fuels are rapidly destabilizing the global climate, making ordinary resource management impossible and causing whole ecosystems to collapse. And this will only get worse as time goes on, causing crop failures and famine everywhere. We had a chance, in the 70s and 80s to chart a course toward using our remaining fossil fuel reserves to build a renewable energy infrastructure, but we missed that window of opportunity (mostly due to Reagan, Thatcher, and the rise of corporate-dominated right-wing politics of denial). And now we face incremental and accelerating global catastrophe.
