DAVID: You are pressing for more concern. I am not. […]

dhw: You clearly share my view that we need to find viable and, of course, efficient alternatives. You just don’t care as much.

DAVID: Yes.

dhw: That is the nub of the matter. Instead of focusing on exaggerations, distortions and false alarms, you accept that there is very real damage being done by current practices, and alternatives must be found in order to prevent further damage. I don’t know why you reject the suggestion that the changes should take place as quickly as pragmatically possible, except of course that you and I won’t be around to see the consequences of delay, and you don’t care as much as I do about the wellbeing of future generations.

You short-change our innate resilience. From Erectus to Sapiens we overcame all challenges.
