Even the most optimistic scenario shows global warming of about 1.8C; we'll be well past major climate tipping points by then.

And current policies put us well above than 2.5C of warming.😓

@mohtashimnizamani It's going to be a rude awakening when people finally realize why this matters.

@mohtashimnizamani at some point the world needs to shift from the failed idea of preventing this catastrophe to strategies for surviving it.

@mohtashimnizamani Check out the Covid responses around the world. There were 3 major camps that I could see: abuse it as an opportunity to seize/shore up power (China being the primary example of this), "come on guys, we can do this" efforts to prevent/dampen its spread, and "what will be will be". Note that, outside the power grab, the entire world ultimately settled on "what will be will be."

Humanity's response to acute local and global suffering and death is "what will be will be". Climate change isn't even remotely as immediate, the suffering not even close to as obvious (yet), and the costs to having actual impact are enormous compared to "wearing a mask".

Given humanity, how can you believe that climate change is preventable?
