People oversimplify to a binary. Yes, it's pretty much impossible to halt climate change at 1.5 degrees. So therefore they think we should do nothing -- why bother if it's going to happen anyway? But it's not anywhere close to binary: the more we do the less change that happens - we can't stop it from happening, but we can definitely stop it from getting worse.
