Nothing only that he’s right to be scared and that it’s way too late to change what’s coming. Too many people don’t believe in climate change and too many ultra rich ones keep not giving a shit about it. It’s unavoidable…

I'm well aware that most people want shit to change and are willing to take the steps to do it.
None of that fucking matters until we force corporations go change
We need way stricter laws and enough participant countries, and I'm sure it will happen. Things have already been accelerating these last 20 years, and it's taken dried out rivers in Europe and a high frequency of devastating hurricanes and wildfires in America and Australia to get things started. It will require even worse summers that drag out and eliminate spring and autumn for humanity to really be dead serious, but it will happen.
The issue is it'll already be too late by then
Sure, we may prevent the absolute worst case apocalypse scenario, but there will already be billions suffering horribly by the time it gets to that point
