====== We had time ======
  * Recent factors
    * Weather events and model predictions (u.a. heat domes, antarctic developments and the possible 'shutting' down of the AMOC)
    * COP 28 non-event
    * geo-engineering seeming to have ticked over into the more mainstream?
    * doubling down of denialism
    * 'The Inner Light', but it's our fault
    * 'whale photo'
    * dream of a collapse sanctuary seeming further out of reach
    * also moved a few more clicks to welcoming nirvana
  * What could've been different?
    * a radical change of direction in the early 70s
    * a reduction in the human--environmental impact-footprint
    * a radical rejection of the ideology of unbounded growth
    * a concerted programme to plan for a scale-down 
  * Energy budget
