    Humans are a co-operative species, same goes for our ape and monkey cousins.

    It is this instinctual nature of working together that enabled us to take down bigger prey, settle new lands, and become the dominant species on the planet.

      I don’t disagree. That said, would suggest that externally we are cooperative, but internally we are competitive. Even in ape families, there exists a hierarchy generally ruled by the biggest, strongest male.

      Which brings us back to the point at hand. Will humans come together to solve climate change? Or will humans continue to try to win at all costs?

      I can see either as a possibility. But I don’t see boomers dying as a catalyst.
