It's ok to call me stupid but I can't stop thinking about this: it makes sense regardless of what kind of alien intelligent life we are talking about that they will discover fire before solar panels. and we did almost destroyed the global climate with coal. so it always made sense to me that climate change is the first global obstacle that either entire species has to deal with or perish so climate or extreme environmental change is great filter or probably one of great filters.

There are two types of naive thinking one is we are children of god and god would never kill all of us and we are deeply rational beings when things get critical we will snap out of it and get things done. I believe in gospel of doubt and that there will be no miracles here. Environmentalists are already abandoning their field and reskilling not only because of lack of funding but lack of public attention and change.
