Some of use have been screaming about the bloody thing for 30 years. Now the car is crashing into the wall. It's too late to steer right or left. Bracing for impact is the best we can do.
> but I don't think it's the right thing to just call this unsolvable.
Making our peace with what could have been is often the only way to salvage what can be and prepare for real-world scenario, aka worst-case scenario regarding climate change.
We obviously already have a feedback loop that doesn't act in our favor. While it's surely a good idea to start preparing for the worst, I think it's not a good idea to add to the problems by spreading hopelessness.
We unequivocally NEED to stand behind a singular message:
1) it IS our activities causing it
2) we can and should curtail these activities IMMEDIATELY
3) while we can't avoid the effects "in the pipleline", we can prevent further effects from piling up.
4) number 3 is our duty to the children and their children, it's our legacy.
