Wired Magazine’s Spencer Reiss advises “Climate Change is Inevitable. Get Used To It.”

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

He concludes: “We’re in charge here” – invoking a level of hubris that may be more frightening than climate change itself.
