So you say we are just comfortable enough to allow it. Do you believe this system is maintaining a status quo of comfort? No everything is actively getting worse. If things are getting worse, then how will they maintain "just comfortable enough". Even if it was the case that we COULD maintain this minimum standard of comfort, do you believe those greedy cunts will be satisfied with that. No, they will still demand a bigger piece of the pie. So the system is bound to get worse, and eventually hardship will outweigh comfort.
Your viewpoint is one of the lobster in the water slowly having the water turned up, you have seen a lifetime of no one caring that the water is getting hotter, so you can only assume it will carry on that way forever. My opinion is one of historical context, knowing that the temp will never stop rising, and eventually the water gets too hot and the lobsters climb out of the pot and attack. I'm not saying its coming soon, but it is coming, we are on that path.
