We need food, water, wet bulb temp, shelter, and basic medical care for all humans, without damaging the biosphere for other living organisms we share it with, and that we rely on. We can have all of that, but we certainly won't be tweeting about it as we live it. The answers are politically untenable, so we collapse. I do agree with the OP.
