So nothing has really happened yet then? While that all sounds alarming it's all theoretical at best. We as a species have already made large inroads on pollution and climate change. Even China is building huge wind and solar farms. It's now more profitable to invest in renewables than fossil fuels. It seems to me the main people holding us back are the USA who for some reason seem to be going backwards.

You tend to find that as people struggle more it's far left wing politics that appeals to the working class just as much as the far right. Hence things like the recent labor victory. Last I heard in France the far right party was beaten by a coalition on the left. I don't really know what's happening in Germany, but I imagine it's much the same. Both extremes of politics get amplified in times of struggle. It's probably why the Democrats failed in America, because they are too moderate and too centrist.
