This right here is the real truth of the matter. We didn't have to give up a ton of comfort (if we'd taken this seriously enough decades ago when we should have), although now that we've put it off as long as we have, we're all gonna give up a ton of comforts before it's over, and there's no avoiding it now. This is the result of us allowing our "leaders" (and their corporate owners) to run rampant doing as they please for far too long, and it's now likely much too late to avoid the worst possible outcome. I have zero faith that humanity will try to "go out with some dignity".
