Climate change, and humanity’s lack of preparation for it, is akin to the explosive release of energy when matter and antimatter meet. Though vital to the fabric of our universe, antimatter is volatile. When volatile forces meet inadequate systems, the result is disaster.

Unfortunately, new challenges have arisen.
