I agree. We have lacked, still lack, will continue to lack, the ability to work cohesively at a planet scale to address climate change. That's the brutal, fundamental truth. Short of a tremendous shift in power structure, our future is to mitigate some damage with renewables, but ultimately only stop using fossil fuels when it becomes completely uneconomical to do so for every use case.

We will probably geoengineer local solutions so that the human race is not in any real danger of extinction but it won't be the nice high-flyin good times we have now.
