We're already hitting the iceberg. We're probably going to keep hitting it the next few decades, at best. I believe analysis still says however it won't be extinction level, partially because of the efforts made to this point already. This is the article I'm thinking of:
https://www.nytimes.com/2023/03/20/climate/global-warming-ipcc-earth.html?smid=nytcore-android-share
The article also goes on to say that the +4C forecast is looking increasingly unlikely, and we're track to 2.1 - 2.9 C this century. That's because of what we've already done to curb emissions. The work people have done so far has made us likely avoid the worst. And the work we continue to do now, whether that's voting for pro climate politicians or turning a wrench at a hydrogen plant or researching a new generation of solar panels -- it will help us make the future worse.
This whole thing isn't colliding with an iceberg and sinking. A better analogy would be a snowstorm that we're trying to get through. Some places will be completely buried, but there's still people out there digging through the snow to try and minimize the accumulation as much as they can. There's people working hard to keep homes warm. There's people cooking meals for everyone.
We shouldn't be so despondent about the places that will be completely covered and destroyed by snow, that we don't fix and save what we can!
Yes, but we should also be demanding the oil CEOs be put to death as if this really is hopeless. If you have money, your trial is already unfairly biased, why should you get anything less than a kangaroo court for something like this, ArAmCo?
