Hard to say if the guy is wrong or right. He could very easily be right. We just don't know.

ReplyDeleteHmm. What don't you know? I've read enough, studied enough and thought enough about the topic to run a blog for ten years on this subject.
He's right. And that means we're fucked.
Thanks for posting this.
He is right because it does not matter if the the video was posted 20 y ago or 20 y from now...

I like the sense of doom, but it does raise the question of where do we go from here. My view, only slightly less gloomy, is that 2C will be catastrophic, but it's better than 3C, and 3C is better than 4C, so it is never too late to make things less bad than they will be in the absence of action.
