I agree with you regarding the need to 'redesign society' but it will never happen without some event that drastically reduces our numbers and stuns the survivors sufficiently to be able to agree with one another.
So I guess that means a survival rate of six max!

Doesn't anyone see that this is a gamble. If you take the side that global warming is real and make all the investments only to find out that you were wrong, then all you lose is money, resources, and time.
If you choose to believe that global warming is false, and therefor do nothing, and you are wrong. You lose the planet.
It's a gamble, it amazes me how many people are willing to take that bet with their lives and the lives of future generations!
I'd rather play it safe, make the social changes nessicary to stop polluting and break our reliance on fossil fuels. Even if it turned out to not be as big a problem as thought, we would still be in a much better place socially and economically.
