“There are signs of change, of awakening,” she says. “Just take the ‘Me Too’ movement, ‘Black Lives Matter’ or the school strike movement (for climate action) for instance,” she says, adding that the world has passed a “social tipping point” where it becomes impossible to look away.
The global response to the COVID-19 pandemic may provide a necessary wake-up call, she suggests.
“The corona tragedy of course has no long term positive effects on the climate, apart from one thing only: namely the insight into how you should perceive and treat an emergency. Because during the corona crisis we suddenly act with necessary force.”

I think that finding the right response to the coronavirus likely could allow the human race
to either not go extinct or to go extinct eventually if we make the wrong choices.
But, if I am honest with you and myself I also believe that the human race won't be allowed
to go extinct for a variety of reasons. However, it is my hope that there are more of us than
1 million people left alive in 2100 so we have a diverse enough genetic pool to continue
to do well as a species here on earth ongoing.
