There’s a novel people should read by Kim Stanley Robinson called The Ministry for the Future. It’s very well researched. The writing isn’t a style I’m going to pretend I enjoy, but I think it’s a very worthwhile book. It addresses exactly the problem you raise: humanity has the ability to stop things getting much worse. Not to reverse the damage already done; at least not quickly. But to put the brakes on. If there is the political will. Except there isn’t. So what then?This is why I'm a Doomer. It's not the disasters or the challenge we face per se. We could still pull it together if we had leadership that was dedicated to fixing it, but we don't and we won't in time to make a real difference.
I haven’t finished it yet, and I’m not sure he’s going to draw the moral that I’m so far picking up (given the celebrity recommenders), but it is at least something more people need to read.
