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.

@stephen a few years ago my aunt asked me if I thought we were responsible for climate change

My answe was that it doesn't matter as it's something we need to deal with in either case

(And also we are definitely responsible)
