Got me to this article from Michael Pollan:

which I document here for purposes of the Environmental Physics class. At some point, a student is going to ask me if there is any hope at all. Maybe not. It's all going wahooney-shaped way faster than anyone predicted. But that's no reason to sit around on your ass and do nothing.
To use a religious metaphor, that compresses this long secular humanist argument into words of (almost) one syllable, 'To despair is to turn your back on God.'
So there.
