The positive feedback loops are breaching thresholds every day — we are having unprecedented wind storms (power outages) and early snowmelt here predicting another record wildfire season. Just like cancer, the longer we wait, the more radical the treatment required and the poorer the prognosis for survival.

Real leadership and collaboration is mandatory. Electoral reform is also necessary to make such collaboration viable.
