Exactly. We've passed the point of no return like 10 times now. I guess we have another 100 before we really get there, if ever.

People are already dying from the effects of climate change. If you think intense wildfires, record-breaking heat, failing power grids, uninsurable homes, and disasters disproportionately impacting poor nations are normal or sustainable, you're mistaken. The climate crisis is here and worsening, whether or not you care about future generations. It's a difference between civilizations collapse or a semi-livable planet.
