We're Doomed
Yep. Sorry to have to say it, but there's really no way around it.
We're doomed. Hosed. Pining for the fjords.
We have maybe a decade or two before things really go to hell, but, honestly, it's going to get pretty bad much sooner than that. Yeah, this may sound hopeless, but who can be optimistic in a time like this?
