while recent headlines make this seem truer than ever, will there really be no hope from the massive incentives showing up now TO do something? could there be a manhattan project like event that invents our way out of this?

The things that would have to be done would be so deep-cutting into what humanity does now that I have very little hope that they will be implemented. Especially considering our (humanity's) failure to get much easier things right (like ensuring basic human rights).

I hope I am wrong.

Convenience will be the death of us. Anything marginally worse than what we currently have cannot be an option. And so we die.
