I'm not sure what the article is about, their bandwidth limit was hit. So, just responding to your comment:

I think one thing that "we are doomed" people miss is, no matter how badly we screw up, unless it is like Nuclear War, the world isn't going to switch into Mad Max/Walking Dead all over, overnight. If shit really does end up hitting the fan, it seems like these groups that are trying to prevent the problem are self-selected for people who are

1) aware of the problem, likely have some idea of what it will entail

2) are conscientious and proactively try to solve problems

In a post-apocalyptic movie these are the groups that end up turning into a cult or build a nice little village only to get wiped out right after the protagonist shows up, to show how grim and gritty the story is. But in the real world, seems like a pretty good post-realistic-crisis group to belong to, TBH.
