Yeah, this battle is, unfortunately, lost. It is now too late to stop what is coming. Keep in mind that the effects we're witnessing are from emissions 10-20 years ago, and the global total continues to rise and will likely continue for the foreseeable future. If you haven't yet, don't procreate. If you have already, don't continue to.

    That doesn't mean we should stop trying for a better world however.

    I'm not implying we shouldn't try. I'm advocating a realistic view of the situation. Too many have their heads in the sand.

    You said that the battle is lost. That sounds like giving up to me.

    The rich and powerful want us to give up. Mitigation is still possible.

    The propaganda has gone from:

    "It doesn't exist"

    to

    "Okay, it does exist, but it isn't caused by humans."

    to

    "Okay, it is caused by humans, but it's too late to do anything about it now!"

    Each one of those has been a lie that serves those in power. Don't buy it.

    I'm not sure why you made two different comments, but ok.

    This is exactly what I'm talking about, denial of reality. I'm not talking about propaganda, I'm talking about the science. I've been paying attention for the last 25 years, and we've unfortunately hit a point where massive suffering and death are inevitable due to inaction.
