Passed along in email ... a less strident apocalypse that is not waiting to pounce but has already pounced.
Reminded me a bit of the line, "just because you are indispensable to the universe does not mean the universe needs your help."

As I recall, James Lovelock claimed the climate tipping point happened in the early 70's, which of course started other "experts" arguing less scary idea's. The bottom line he posited was that by the end of this century, after a period of bodies in the streets due to plague, malnutrition, etc. small bands of our species will survive in the more northerly realms with the technology of pointed sticks. There won't be enough people left to maintain the simplest of technology upon which civilization is dependent.
