Fuck yes, straight into the wall full speed. Don’t even tap the brakes.
Why it should be otherwise? It's not like we're sentient creatures, capable of influencing our own habits. We're just mindless biological automatons, oblivious to the fact that we're marching to our horrible, painful and IMMINENT demise. It's not like I care about that either. Give me entertainment, give me food and comfort and I won't give a duck about future. Why give an effort of thought to such amorphous things when I have so much to enjoy in the present? Clearly, that would be a fool's errand, and I'm not a fool.
Only positive thing I can see there is, that the last few years seem to be linear growth instead of the exponential before...
No, we had precisely zero measurable impact on the Keeling curve.
Our masters prefer profit much much much more than planetary survival.
I got one word for you: Vote.
Corporations like BP push individual responsibility and personal carbon footprint[1] to try to neutralize you from achieving real policy gains which would have a much greater impact than your individual action. Time spent trying to convince people to vote for politicians who take climate change seriously is far more productive than time spent trying to educate people about their so-called carbon footprint. Of course we all play a part but seeing this chart it's clear we need more action and that's why I'm saying this.

politicians who take climate change seriously
lol
So how do we have readings going so far back, like even in the late 1800s? Is this just an assumed average for back then?
Incapable until directly affected
Discussion of climate, how it is changing, activism around that, the politics, and the energy systems change we need in order to stabilize things.
As a starting point, the burning of fossil fuels, and to a lesser extent deforestation and release of methane are responsible for the warming in recent decades:
How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world:
Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:
Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.
