Damned

Given two observations about human nature, first that no economic trend can be reversed, and second that pride is politically the strongest emotion: we don't have much time left, if 'we' means civilisation as we know it.

Humanity has the potential but not the capability to save itself. Most of humanity will die in the coming extinction, and wealth will be the only differentiation. I've not enough faith in the wealthy to pronounce favourably upon the human race's post-global warming history.

Most of us are condemned. This puts us pretty much where everyone except the rich have been in history: damned.
