If heart disease is (presuming) 60% genetics, 20% diet and 20% lack of exercise, do you throw up your hands and say “Oh well, can’t do anything about my genetics so I might as well eat those corn dogs on the couch. Yeah, I might die years earlier but that’s life. Gonna die some day anyway.”

The human contribution is the only thing that we can control. It doesn’t matter what proportion it is, though as Dallas shows it’s the whole, it’s our only option.

Then there’s the pace of the change. I liken it to having a cocktail; one on occasion or you can drink the whole bottle in an hour. In the first case you’re fine. In the second you die! The earth has (in all probably) not seen the pace of change we’re witnessing and certainly no human has.
