Looking at the bigger picture: What should our goal as a species be?
Short-term, abate and survive the immediate post-industrial environmental crisis.
Medium-term, separate our species' destiny from this planet.
Long-term, separate our species' destiny from that of this star system.
Party throughout.

94 y.o. Mongol Who Hunts with Eagles Notes Warming
The photos are extraordinary (link below). My life feels cramped.
Some anecdotes are more powerful than others.
quote:
But Orazkhan, who has spent his life here, fears the winters have grown less harsh in recent years, causing many eagles to migrate elsewhere. "He talks about how the winters used to be much longer; the clouds used to be much darker and more fierce," Mohan says. "The salt lakes that surround him used to stay frozen for many more months than they do nowIt really is quite sobering when you're sitting there in the middle of nowhere, talking to a 94-year-old man who has never heard of the term global warming, and he's talking about something drastic happening there."
