It’s too late to avoid problems; but it’s certainly not too late to take action. This is not a binary yes / no or climate change / no climate change situation. It’s a continuum. We can’t avoid it completely, but the longer we delay action the worse it gets. There is still a lot of room for it to get worse. So reducing emissions is more important now than it has even been, even if some problems are unavoidable.

Middle managers : “Come back to working in the office”
Us: ”we work on computers and can easily work from home and have done so for years now being very productive without adding to the emissions of the road use”
Middle managers: “Fuck the earth. I don’t feel like my job is valid unless you’re here so I can micromanage you”
I like to frame it as, even if you can’t avoid crashing into a wall, it still makes a huge difference whether you do it with a 120km/h, 70km/h or 20km/h.

Well, unfortunately we are looking at the likely scenario of cascading ecosystem failures, quickly leading to most humans on earth starving to death.
