    We keep doing it because we have to do it, so [the powerful] cannot say that they didn’t know," Ruth Cerezo-Mota, who works on climate modeling at the National Autonomous University of Mexico, told The Guardian. "We know what we’re talking about. They can say they don’t care, but they can’t say they didn’t know.

    It seems to me that we are at such a stage that no matter what we do, there is no turning back. We are doomed, lucky not likely in my lifetime.

      Maybe im too optimistic, but i think its more current society as a whole is doomed, but humanity will probably survive and maybe even recover, hopefully smarter and less profit driven.

      And even if we don’t make it, at least the Earth will survive, and maybe the next civilization wont be so greedy.
