All very good points. I think that having and spreading this knowledge is important for decision making and planning. But how do we, the ‘common people’, fix this? Writing to unresponsive and uncaring (read: paid by the culprits) elected representatives may make us feel good because we ‘did our part’ is a start. Now what? Keep writing for another 4, 6, 10 years and hope something changes? Sit back and wait for the system to completely crash? Not rhetorical I genuinely want to know what to do
