@petebrown I basically agree with your prognosis (too little, too late), but still feel that since change is happening (albeit not fast or deep enough), therefore the future isn't totally determined. It's quite hard to tell, in advance of its consequences, what counts as a real change. It's hard for me to see major global transformations (such as in energy production) and say these won't make any difference to anything, or to the things that really matter. 'Fundamental changes in how we live' sound like civilizational shifts to me. The good news is that these happen frequently. Civilizations are always collapsing and new ones taking their place. The bad news is that it's rough if you're trying to live through it.
