48. Of course, it IS more complex than that, BUT........

"and yet they cannot even organize a slight reduction in green house gases after decades of working on it at the pinnacle of their development."

Unfortunately, we can thank decades of corruption, and Big Energy agitprop, amongst other things.

"That is the 20th Century mentally peaking through. Its dinosaur thinking. What enemies? Billions of lives hang in the balance facing very probable famine, and you want to motivate us with war talk? "Enemies" are a very tough sell when civilization is destroying the planet."

Of course, it's true that our problems are significantly more complex than just black-and-white. Of course, I haven't ever denied this. But we do face the obstruction of those who wish to impede progress, such as the Koch Bros., and those who aid them like the Watts Up With That guy, "Lord" Monckton, Christopher "We can't act on global warming because it'd kill the economy!" Booker, etc. Remove that obstacle, and it'll make our problems at least somewhat less difficult. And there are many good people working to make our hopes reality as much as possible; just look at our very own A Geek Named Bob, who's devoted much of his spare time to helping mitigate the problem, for example.
