Talked to a very smart person this afternoon who reminded me: climate fatalism ("it's too late") is a soft form of denialism.

Everything we do from here is worthwhile. It counts, it makes a difference. No matter what damage has been done, we can still make things better than if we had done nothing. We can still look after the world, look after our friends and family. Action has results.

As I see it, we're currently in a race.

Renewables are being deployed at an exponential pace and will take over for purely economic reasons.

Climate change and its consequences are also accelerating.

Things that may look like details can have quite large impacts on which of these trends becomes dominant. Now is exactly the time to fight hard.
