"What we are trying to do – a thing that has never been attempted let alone accomplished by any other species (by any other species!) in the history of the world – is to think our way out of that boom-bust cycle. Think of the achievement already represented in the Inter-governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC, the United Nations body that addresses climate change): a body representing virtually every human on the planet that brings together our best and brightest in an optimistic effort to do a thing so unnatural, so beautiful, and so exciting that it’s never been done before. In the universe. Ever."

my tiny beef of the day: I dislike the phrase “climate hawk” being applied to people who take climate change and its challenges seriously I propose “climate beaver” instead, as it implies the hard work necessary to mitigate disaster and save lives beavers actually build stuff!
