If it's too late to repair the environment, then there's no point being involved in politics at all.

I think the disasters will sometimes be worse than we fear in some places, at some times, but that we will have plenty of opportunities as well.

"We'll find a way" is the motto of progressivism.

We come through crucibles with stronger knowledge, better technology, and more humane civilizations.
