The Problem Facing Environmentalists

Re: the meme here, that’s part of the problem, to be sure.

But imagine that climate change, ocean acidification, loss of biodiversity, and other breakdowns in our environment were happening, say, three times faster than they now are, and middle-aged people almost definitely would live to experience unprecedented levels of human suffering due to our greed and mismanagement.

Would we have a qualitatively different response?  Perhaps, but I doubt it.
