11. existential threat

Our carbon exhumation problem has created an existential threat for our species. We could have ... SHOULD HAVE done something about it and I think the 2000 election/911 attack was sort of an inflection point. We ignored reality and made choices based on religion.

Now a quarter of us are going to just cook in our skins before the century is out. The arc from the Persian Gulf through Pakistan into South Asia already gets too hot for human tolerance. Just a little bit more and folks are going to start dying in large numbers.
