While I share your frustration to a degree, I think what you say might signal to other people that what they do now doesn't matter anymore. This might make the situation even worse, which isn't necessary IMO.

We obviously already have a feedback loop that doesn't act in our favor. While it's surely a good idea to start preparing for the worst, I think it's not a good idea to add to the problems by spreading hopelessness.

Indeed. There are still plenty of people spreading doubt and nonsense about the climate emergency not being real or not being caused by our industrial-scale burning of stuff for "energy".

We unequivocally NEED to stand behind a singular message:

1) it IS our activities causing it

2) we can and should curtail these activities IMMEDIATELY

3) while we can't avoid the effects "in the pipleline", we can prevent further effects from piling up.

4) number 3 is our duty to the children and their children, it's our legacy.

Thank you for your comments. I was about to tear up from feeling hopeless.
