MIT Technology Review: Lessons from a genocide can prepare humanity for climate apocalypse
Actually, we have never faced anything like either AGW or nuclear weapons before, so this article, which you'll call "dark," is not dark enough. The author more or less admits the scale is unprecedented--and he doesn't even mention nukes, I don't think--but the lede, chosen by editors, no doubt, gives the usual denial of reality "good news."
But here's where we are: the "good news" is that we humans have come back from one-third to one-half population culls before. So, it won't be that bad. Uh huh.
We have no choice, as he says, but to try. We won't.
Read it anyway. And then put aside childish things, just like Saint Obama of the Dimples told you to, and ask every candidate for public office what they plan to do about the reality set out in this article. Not just the presidential ones. Ask yourself what you, yourself, are going to do about it.
You won't because deep down you don't really give enough of a shit to even contemplate not living your life the way you do.
Plus, we have Russians to deal with! They're everywhere!
Anyway, here's a recent study that's relevant to the question of who should pay to fight global warming, and here's a short discussion with one of the lead authors:
