Hallelujah!

But will it be enough and fast enough?

It's clear that civilized humans don't really give a shit about the planet. It's not really our fault, we aren't advanced enough and we believe in instant gratification at all costs. We'd much rather jet off to the sunny south and fuck the consequences. Of course we still want the best for our children which doesn't really make sense when we are guaranteeing them a miserable future. I really can't understand people on this one. I guess they have too much faith in technology and I have none.

But today I read how air travel costs are going through the roof. And not just in Europe or Canada but the US--that bastion of subsidizing destruction (well we love killing the planet just as much don't we--think tar sands).

Our last hope, considering that we are not going to take any meaningful action, is that we are going to hit natural limits which will prevent us destroying the planet. Oil will just become too expensive, uranium will just be too costly to extract, we just won't be able to clearcut all the trees because our chainsaws will be out of fuel.

But we gave it a good shot didn't we? Was it worth it?
