6. It's worse. Politicians are aware but decided to kick the can down the road.

To our descendants.

Their only concern is winning the next election. They are politicians after all, not leaders.

We need visionaries and true leaders, combined with revolutionary changes in our societal and economic structures. I don't see that happening until the really bad times start and by then it will be much too late. It seems that as a species, we are not capable of putting our descendants' lives ahead of our own. Or future gain/survival before present comfort. All we can do is watch the ice melt in sorrow and powerlessness.

Edited to add:
And we're not as smart as we think we are. Or we'd learn from ant colonies and bee hives and work together as a COLLECTIVE. But you know, COMMUNISM and FREEDOM! As I said, revolutionary changes but those would require EVOLUTIONARY changes too.
