The problem is that "we" aren't listening to the system

[NoOneMan]

We--collectively speaking--aren't listening to our instincts. The lure and promise of technology and civilization has neutered our ability to see our impact and how far out of harmony we reside from nature. That is why the blatherings of "we" and the wishes of "we" are ineffective at promoting the necessary change; frankly, "we" don't want it if we could see it.

We will be culled, along with so much other life. Its ironic that any event that significantly decreases energy consumption immediately (think disaster movies about wars, viruses, social collapse) is likely our last "hope" at averting the worse consequences of climate change; the warming is like an ultimate reset when all other systematic balancing functions fail. We are so far out of alignment, a catastrophe can provide more hope than the collective actions of civilization (in my opinion).

But this, in time, will pass too.
