 It dawned on me why I'm so annoyed at our inadequate collective response to the #ClimateCrisis. It's that it's embarassing! Of all the challenges to bring down civilization, it's going to be this?! Imagine pitching a script to Hollywood where evil aliens destroy humanity by, gasp, giving us a cheap polluting fuel *and* knowledge that burning it will wreck the climate. They then watch us burn the fuel for a few centuries. This plot line is just so stupid! We can be so much better than this!!
