I agree with all of this whole heartedly. I particularly like the titanic metaphor.

It seems absurd to me to say that "things are going great! we have abundant food & water!". Science is telling us very clearly that water scarcity is going to be a huge problem in the near future.

We're presently living through a mass extinction event also - very concerning as regards food stocks.
