4. I fear that we are at a point where the matter isn't "will it hit the fan?" so much as "how hard?".

I believe the poop has hit the fan and it's just a matter of how much energy do we want to put toward mitigating the damage and severity of it all.

There's another point, scientifically difficult or impossible to determine, beyond which our species simply will not survive.

At all.

Given our current behaviors and unwillingness to change, that could be just a generation away or 50 years, not more than 100.

So, lets' do what we can, I know you know what I try to do IRL.
