but I do feel we (ie all of human civilization) have missed the window, wherein we might have made a difference.
What I like about Guy McPherson is he (and others in his 'circle') talks about how do we live in the face of such a grim future.
How do we live as a good human in the end times.
And he does NOT advocate doing nothing, or fatalism, he advocates doing whatever we can for a right purpose, esp for the animals and for the earth.
