    The post is right, but only on the paper, and not really in a world that is progressively taken over by ecocidal autocrats whose program is to kill every bit of efforts in climate fight, so even the smallest progress we made will soon be distant memories and fighting will be increasingly dangerous and difficult and, ultimately, virtually impossible. And the locked-in catastrophes are now sufficient to collapse our already fragilized geopolitical context.

    People saying it’s “not too late” are systematically downplaying the current political context, wich make their message pretty unconsistent.

      I didn’t get that at all from the OP, what I saw was “every bit matters so keep fighting.”

        Yes, until the political situation make it unfeasible without being treated like a dangerous terrorist. The OP didn’t said it either, but she should have.

          OP says “I am a climate scientist and thus is correct⬇️”, thus leading me to believe that it was the climate science under discussion, not politics.

      If anything the current political context makes what needs to be done pretty clear. There’s a difference between downplaying the problem and realizing that if laying down and dieing isn’t an option.
