C'mon man, are you serious? It's defeatism at work!

And believe me, I know for a fact the PTB would love us to believe one of two things; it's either that nothing's wrong, or that we're all going to go extinct.They don't care which one, as long as people are convinced that this problem can't be dealt with, and that's exactly what both extremes lead to. And that's a fact, Jack.

And you know what? Guess who else says climate change can't be stopped? None other than Christopher Booker, a skeptic:

"The fact is that there is no one in the world who can explain how we could cut our emissions by four fifths without shutting down virtually all our existing economy. What carries this even further into the higher realms of lunacy is that such a Quixotic gesture would do nothing to halt the world’s fast-rising CO2 emissions, already up 40 per cent since 1990. There is no way for us to prevent the world’s CO2 emissions from doubling by 2100"

The sad thing is, if enough people start believing this baloney, then we are in real trouble. It's already hard enough fighting off Big Energy agitprop as it is; our job is made all that much tougher when bullshit like this gets out, because guess what? They can spin plenty of yarns with that wool, and people will lap it all up.

I'm sorry if it seems harsh, but that is the reality of how things are.
