The sad part is, no matter how bad things will get, the same people will keep denying climate change. Even as their shoes melt into the pavement.
Looking at the past, I don't have any hope for meaningful change.
Just last year or so we've had people on their literal death beads denying corona is real.
I agree that the “it’s too late to do anything” mentality is just as bad as doing nothing, but at the same time I recognize that the scientific consensus is more and more leaning towards "it really is too late to do anything" in the short term at least.
Certain gears have been set in motion that we truly cannot stop, but there are also other things that we can prevent if we act now.
I just don't know where the line between the two lies.
The next 50 years or so are set in stone, of that I'm certain.
But after that, who knows whether the changes we make today will affect the climate in a meaningful way. One can only hope.
It was always to late to do anything, because we live on a fractured planet where people who have destroyed it, and their bought off politicians, dictate that its okay to continue destroying it.
The only thing that will change anything is a violent global ww3 level revolution leading to a single world government that can do what needs to be done, and do it quickly, with the worlds entire resources at its disposal.
