Wired Magazine’s Spencer Reiss advises โ€œClimate Change is Inevitable. Get Used To It.โ€

It is, however, easier to be right about the first part than sanguine about the second.

He concludes: โ€œWe’re in charge hereโ€ – invoking a level of hubris that may be more frightening than climate change itself.
