10. Well I really meant worst case, if we fight it, is we go down fighting it

I've seen plenty of people advocating that all we do is just deal with learning how to live with the catastrophe as well as we can, and about adjusting our mental attitude to give us the freedom to basically be happy living in that context.

I say fuck that and fight like our survival depends on it, because it does. There are many different tipping points to this thing. We've past some of them. Others can perhaps be avoided. The end results may be very different if we are willing to care enough to make the changes we have to. That's all I'm saying, and I'll keep saying it.
