There is also the potential for climate solutions. We have been driving things in one direction by pumping carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. There are ways to do the opposite rapidly, just not as easy. Solar/Wind/Nuclear powered carbon sequestration and ocean fertilization are possible if all else is lost.

Happy to discuss realistic impactful solutions rather than just cycling doomerism with anyone interested.

I suggest actually doing something about it then. Direct your frustration towards something productive. Take the risk because if we don't then no one will.

Here's why your comment is horseshit:

The cost of solar photovoltaic (PV) technology dropped by 81% since 2009, and wind and battery costs have also plummeted. By 2017, most new power-generating capacity added worldwide came from renewables, not fossil fuels.

A comprehensive review of 1,500 climate policy measures across 41 countries found 63 cases of successful policies, each leading to an average emission reduction of 19%. The most effective policies combined tax and price incentives with regulations and subsidies.

Although global greenhouse gas emissions reached record highs in the 2010s, the rate of growth has slowed, in part due to climate policies and the adoption of cleaner technologies.

The Montreal Protocol (1987) successfully phased out ozone-depleting substances, demonstrating that coordinated global action can work. This agreement also had climate benefits, as many of the banned substances were potent greenhouse gases.

Saying we have failed is the easiest thing to say.

If you gave up a long time ago, then why did you bother to write that comment? Clearly you haven't given up.

Manually using a site like that to ask others for information will be irrelevant very shortly. I give it another year or two.

You can make the vote duration much longer than an hour.
