>A doomsday future is not inevitable! But without immediate drastic action our prospects are poor.
So, what you're saying is: Unless we (immediately and drastically) change our behaviour, it's a doomsday scenario[0,1,2]...
Doesn't that make it inevitable because it seems that nobody has or is changing their behaviour drastically enough - any time in the recent past or the nearest enough future - to prevent it (based on projections)?
I mean, it's not as if this realisation struck us just yesterday, yeah? We've had some time to prepare and/or give enough of a shit about this to try to affect it, right?
Also, you're expecting (almost) the entirety of an egocentric species - one that was entirely ok with the mass extinctions that it has caused so far - to suddenly, overnight give a rat's ass about the future state of the entire world and everything within it...?
They're so far up their own asses about 'x' trivial thing (compared to the literal death of the species/planet) that they're seeing teeth and loving it.
I - for one - welcome the end times.
Fucking shake that etch-a-sketch, biology, let's try this shit again.
