it’s a poignant quote

but

a moment like this will never happen. There will be severe consequence from climate change within our lifetimes, certainly. And there – may – be a point where all the technology and comforts of the present no longer exist. But there will be many generations between us and that point. The CEO and shareholders of BP will not be around to see the world they set in motion, nor speak to its people.

Apocalypse is fiction. The trajectory of history can be read from present day conditions, and from how we chose to act. But that wheel turns slowly.
