So who will "muddle our way through"???
Our governments? I don't think my current govt gives a **** about forward thinking nor planning. They're only in for four years.
On the issue of self-sustenance, I'm seeing plastic bubbles on Mars, with synthetic fertilisers for growth. How long can that go on, considering that Mars is light years from Earth?
I'm seeing a resiliant Earth. I'm seeing a planet that took a big hit, but the stormfront is building, and those dickheads that decided to build at sea level will soon have to agree that they were dipshits.
Tough. Take a number and wait.
