One might be hard pressed to find a forum more distanced from global warming than one like this, centered around clarinet play.

Then again, as forums are run by humans, and global warming represents a true threat to our existence, and without us, clarinets wouldn't much matter, (except maybe as weapons for what high level species might survive such climate change,) in this regard, no forum is that distanced from this problem.

If this is possible, I hold both enormous respect and disdain for our species. On the one hand, our ingenuity and finest human qualities have tackled what seemed like insurmountable problems of the past. On the other hand, there's this speech, from the fictional movie The Matrix, which has more basis in truth I'm afraid that some non-fictional works.

Even assuming we can get enough of the world on board with the idea that Global Warming is real, man made, man solvable, and that time is of the essence, we are then forced to not only NOT pass responsibility for solving this problem on to others, but tolerate others acting this way.

Humans tend to be better at solving problems when highly motivated, which tends to happen only after the “fit has hit the shan.” Events often need to leave people scared poopless before truly begining to take action, which in the case of global warming, may only occur after reversal of our demise can only, at best, be slowed down, if at all, as opposed to being reversed.

As an example, I am confident that the world will come up with an adequate if not superior substitute for the African Blackwood we overcultivated for profit to make musical instruments. But I'm not confident that the world can preventably police its own demise. I pray I am wrong.
