There is nothing we can do. We're living in Rome and it's 470AD. What's going to happen is going to happen, but a whole lot of stuff will change as a result.
My feeling is that an oil crash is the only thing that can actually get our carbon usage under control, so although it would potentially result in the end of civilisation as we know it, terrible wars (more terrible wars, the oil wars began years ago but there will be more) and the death of millions of people, at least there's a bit of a silver lining to it.
As one of the Goths, I don't particularly fear this 470AD thing your Gregorian calends speak of. In fact, it might be healthy. What says Ben, Count of Moxon?
