Have we gotten past the point if irreparable damage? Yes. Does that mean it’s pointless to reduce further damage as much as possible? Not even a little.
We will not be able to reduce the impact unless we completely dismantle capitalism. And we frankly don’t have a long time to do it if the goal is to reduce the impact before we’re all dead.

The problem is human, it’s us and we’re not taking anything seriously. How much more ? April was the single largest increase in monthly ppm ever recorded
The climates not the problem, we have any number of solutions. Lots of really easy stuff we’re not doing, like not flying and cycling and not driving cars, not replacing meat eating pets when they pass. Alll too inconvenient ? Yes ?

Ask a behavioral expert not a climate scientiest. Can’t even get people to stop flying to a Taylor Swift concert or a football match what hope ?
Fuck hope, Plan for the worst.
We can afford to be a bit more hopeful if the Dems win the next election, but until then… save yourself some mental health crisis… don’t think too much about it.
