It's not the hottest year ever but we need to be ready for rapid climate changes, especially in the northern hemisphere, and we need to stop blaming failed government policies on climate change.
I don't understand your statement about "striving to minimize our impact" in light of what you've said in the rest of the episode here. Regardless of CO2, things will change. We need to be ready to adapt, thus we need inexpensive energy. "Striving to minimize our impact" directly militates against that, especially from an economic standpoint.
I mean we should continue to develop new technologies that minimize our impacts... for example, scrubbing pollution at the stack. I don't deny that we have the potential to screw up the environment.

Excellent analysis as usual. Especially interesting about the prospect of using plastic as fuel instead of recycling it.
