Jessica—you are exactly right and one of the sane people. What you need to know is that, although those in charge continue to gaslight us (and many are under their spell), literally billions see exactly what’s happening. We have lost all respect for our business and political “leaders,” most of who actually understand the consequence of their actions and DON’T CARE.
We may be too late to save the planet, even though our scientists and engineers are brilliant, because by the time the losers in charge are gone, the problem may exceed even their capabilities.
That said, my best guess is that the losers will be deposed in a flurry of anger and ridicule as they prove incapable of dealing with the ever worsening crises they’ve unleashed. The actual children of the “leaders” will curse their names.
