I get the perspective of: if it's going to get this bad, then at least maybe it will lead to a more immediate transition away from fossil fuels. My concern is that this is still all occurring within our existing social, political, and economic systems, and that real, long-lasting change will require remaking those systems. Though maybe this global turmoil will lead to that as well.

Like I said, we could have gotten here a better way...but when systems are breaking down, that's when it's most important to envision alternatives.

And thanks for putting into words what so many of us are feeling and thinking.
