If by “reactionary” you mean “realist” then I agree.

Beyond the point of no return now. Time to start moving to higher ground.

There are many points of no return. There is a difference between 5 degrees of warming and 10 or 20.
Moving to higher ground only considers the first-order effects of climate change - floods and severe weather. Potential further effects include reduced agricultural output/efficiency, massive migrations of climate refugees, and the destabilization or collapse of national governments. If we do nothing, natural disasters will be the least of our concerns.
