That video presents a really great overview. I agree that we are really behind the eight-ball; if we can't figure out how to do some serious CDR AND kill off big oil, we are not going to leave much of a legacy on this planet. But we can keep some of our modern happy lifestyles maybe if we can learn quickly enough how to convert biomass to chemical feedstock instead of using petroleum - and if we can get far smarter about transportation. Still, all in all, I am sad to leave this world in such a grim situation - doing what I can in my later years to help set it right.
