If it were not true. Republicans are perhaps the most indoctrinated into the idea that there is nothing in the path ahead to muck with their fantasy of rich lavish lifestyles. I don't know but I'm pessimistic. If we can't get our act together at this point with the climate crises moving towards the precipice and the population of earth soaring beyond the likely tipping point on several issues the future will not be a place where people will want to be.

Yes we will survive but only in a much different way. It is an age of change.
