I think it's too late to ever think in terms of things getting back to the way they were. We've blown that chance but I think the creeping despair and resignation I detect in some of us is as mistaken as was our previous ambivalence and denial. There are things... must be things we can do to mitigate the effects of climate change or possibly even halt the change. Despair, just like denial, seriously interferes with that sort of effort. Giving into despair is perhaps a worse sin than out former denial.
