Global warming is going to come. That is a given. The horrors it creates are going to come. The question no longer revolves around preventing global warming. That is a utopian fantasy. The question is how we can best survive through several centuries of that horror. What sort of social organization will provide the best chance for such survival. What sort of political activity now will most contribute to the emergence of that kind of social organization. Carrol
