20 years ago, even 15, there were still plausible solution sets that didn't require half the human race to die.
I do not believe there are, any longer.

I'd make a joke about this being known as "getting old", but I know you're probably right - at least in order of magnitude.
Humans are too clueless to get it before we start losing population in the actual millions to catastrophes - at which point we'll exaggerate them. Yay.

Yeah, it has nothing to do with getting old. It's just an analytical position and it's based on my understanding of the systems.
If I had understood what I understand now about humans 20 years ago, I could have said it then.
I sort of did, actually.

Don't be so serious now, sir. I don't mean nuthin' by it.
I'm just deep in my (tea) cups.

In all seriousness it's a shame, but what can you do with transprimates who believe themselves gods? The Ancient Greeks had this one fairly well-covered in their myths...
