I believe that apart from talking about what should/could/might be done, nothing meaningful will in fact _be_ done - and that we are heading for catastrophe.

I see it differerntly Jim!
Evolution is a long term strategy - we humans just think that we are so much the pinncacle of evolutionary design !!
Our success in modifying the law of the jungle for us, also means that we mitigate against further evolution of the human species.
And it is unlikely that the speed of our climate induced change will allow evolution to work - well without massive loss of the human race.
