The UN is worthless as global goobermint because:
A- It has no enforcement power
B- It has no taxation power
No independent source of income and no way to punish folks who don't follow the rules.
The consequences are of course moving along at different rates in different places, but all are moving in the same direction, as in getting worse. It's true we likely won't be around to see the denoument of climate change, but we're already here to witness the End of the Beginning, if not the Beginning of the End (thank you Illuminati Scumbag Winston Churchill). I'm satisfied with that.
There's nothing permanent, but in terms of it's lifespan for supporting life, the Earth is in it's senescence. It took 4B years for life to evolve and only for the last 200K or so has there been self-aware (I won't say intelligent) life. There's only maybe 300M years left before it will be burned to a crisp. Not enough time for another round. It's just kind of sad to see it crash and burn so quickly. Kind of hard to fathom what the purpose of the whole thing was.
