The Industrial Revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race.

The Unabomber advocated disbanding industrialized agriculture which would starve most of the worlds population to death

If most of the world's population starved to death then our climate change challenge would be behind us.

The total collapse of society based on climate change could arguably kill billions. The costs of inaction are mounting.

I heard someone on HN say to treat climate change like a war. If we did we would make more drastic changes required, which under normal logic would be "we can't do that it will kill the economy..."

I wonder if the planet will be habitable in 1000 years time by 'traditional' humans. We may need to transcode ourselves into computers, or at least get pretty damn bionic.
