Maybe the long term fight we can still win is 'Can we do enough to keep the possibility that humans might become extinct over the coming centuries off the table at 2100'.
Does it matter whether humanity goes extinct? Not really, that’s isn’t the big challenge. Human suffering is.
None of it really matters all that much to me, at this point. But I am pretty sure that humankind having some sort of potentially achievable long term goal, and crucially (when it comes to trying to stop climate change) tries to fight a battle that isn't already lost, is the only way forward.
It's the road to that extinction and how the billons behave while dwindling away to 0 that sucks yep.
