    Agreed. But I think we need to focus our attention away from actual solutions to major problems, and onto minor solutions to minor problems, that will give us a footing for actually being able to take steps forward again.

    We need to fight the battle right in front of our faces, instead of focusing on our more standard long-term views. Otherwise we’re going to be strategically and tactically outmaneuvered by people that follow fewer rules than we do.

    It’s a feasibility and priorities consideration.

      The problem with that being that the “minor solutions” aren’t really solving the problem. We’ve been doing “minor solutions” for many years now, and we have only accelerated in our destruction of the environment.

      We need drastic change. Failing some deus-ex-machina-esque invention that quickly and cheaply solves the issue with no sacrifice needed, then we have to be demanding radical change. If that isn’t possible, our other option is to just fail and die.
