saw a thread on climate change that said "It’s already too late to reverse course, now we’re on to just mitigating damage" and thinking of how we're not even doing that

like maybe we could be preparing for the disasters we're causing too? since they're definitely gonna happen? but no, nobody's doing anything, and nobody will until it's too late and cities are underwater and people have drowned in it and everyone else is starving bc long-term altruistic planning never made anyone rich
