9. No worries. I tend to be more optimistic than others

on this board. But many of these posters here are brilliant and smarter than me so I take it that maybe my evolutionary emotional belief in survival is trumping my intellect.

The more I read here the grimmer it gets and the ONLY thing that will have a chance at saving climate catastrophe is action and action now. Predictions of our timeline for survival is not in my wheelhouse and I would leave that to others. I believe Jane Goodall said it best:

Well, if we continue with business as usual, we're going to come to the point of no return. At a certain point the ecosystems of the world will just give up and collapse and that's the end of us eventually too. What about our children? We're still bringing children into the world — what a grim future is theirs to look forward to.
