That's not what it sounds like. It's a powerful DEmotivator, as it makes the problem seem Sisyphean. He says "if we change.... But we won't change". He also claims that spill-over may make the effects longer lasting than we could even deal with if we start right now. This is NOT motivating in the least. There are a great many people who think that their elected officials can't do anything right anyway, this message pretty well tells individuals to give up.

If you can't do anything about it, might as well kept on and hope for the best.
