I probably asked for it by using the word "surviving", but there's more climate edgelordism in the comments than I'm usually comfortable with.

And we'll need to start treating ecosystem services as valuable and deserving of compensation.
But in general I think liberal democratic values, like those enshrined in the UN Declaration of Human Rights, are sufficient to get us through this.

@timbray we've done it before with other toxins, like asbestos, but never to this scale, I agree.
