Dont be scared
I find doomerism a bit too apathetic. We are here now and we are all capable of enacting change.
At one point a few years ago I was working for a multinational conglomerate who had oil exploration under their belt. My team were responsible for Information Risk and crisis management tests were part of our responsibility.
This business had been announcing plans for drilling in the artic. So we made the crisis management test about that. Invented a new environmental “terrorist” organization, making just stop oil look like a bunch of grannies, set fire to executives cars and issued kidnap threats against their kids. Hypothetically of course. It was a paper based exercise.
Anyway, they soon after quit those plans and diversified away from their oil based businesses.
Which is just as well as I didn’t want to have to actually set fire to their kids and kidnap their cars.
