Reply to comment by universepower in Runaway W. Antarctic ice sheet collapse not 'inevitable': study by EagleEyeStx

Those many people are absolutely correct. We are essentially taking 0 action at the present moment. Atmospheric CO2 represents only one of 7 planetary boundaries that spell our destruction. We’ve arguably crossed 4-6 of them already and nothing is being done about most of them.

More deforestation, habitat loss, resource use, and energy use are happening than ever before. We’re still building new car and fossil infrastructure which will cement use of those institutions for 40+ more years.

There is hope and we can do something. But, presently we are essentially doing nothing.

We will not green technology our way out of this. We need system level change.

Pretty much everywhere has systemic changes in place, and CO2 growth has slowed dramatically in the last decade. I’m not saying do nothing, but having a huge sad about how nothing has changed is wrong.
