"We know what we’re talking about. They can say they don’t care, but they can’t say they didn’t know.

      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.
