Except it does matter. If you can keep opposition at bay, slow change can very quickly turn into drastic change if you allow it to compound. The problem has always been people turning back any change made. So long as people still exist to enact change, we’re not out of time. Climate change is like riding an elevator down to hell, you can get off whenever you like, but the longer you wait the further you have to climb back up, there is no rock bottom but extinction. Defeatists like yourself are functionally no different than the deniers because you are discouraging action.
