Actually, we passed the tipping point of reasonable solutions near ten years ago. (At least if we're unwilling to accept the mass-casualties, the which I'm not, though I'm not so sure about those with the levers and money) Door #3, or as I said in the 80s: Time To Mutate.
(None of which makes this any smarter than Monsanto imposing monoculture, then copyrighting and sterilizing the seed-grain, by the way. That's very, very, dumb. Asimov-plot-device dumb. As in *so dumb no one believes it when it is going on.* )
What's actually happening, *for real* is so collossally dumb we make object lessons from old Star Trek seem reasonable. That kind of dumb.
Like Captain Kirk cruising in and being like... 'There's nobody ..in... particular...to.....Shoot. Goddess.. This is dumb."
