The trends are not reversible, but they may be attenuated if we don't adopt a "dooomed" worldview. In the french speaking world, there's a wave of eco-angriness starting to replace eco-anxiety and that's a welcome change.

People are getting involved and putting their ass on the line to stop this madness. At a great cost, given that cops regularly maim and sometimes murder ecological activists trying to stop ecocidal projects (see NDDL / Sivens / Sainte Soline).

We have a choice to make: destroy capitalism and its consumption lifestyle, or let it destroy humanity and millions of other species. I strongly recommend watching END:CIV, a 20-year-old documentary that hasn't aged a bit.

If it warms 2-3C as the IPCC predicts, humanity will still be thriving in the 2100s. Capitalism will still be kicking along just fine, and we ll probably be richer than ever.

We are already at 1.5C with the help of El Nino, by 2030 we'll be there even without it. 2-3C in 2100 is very optimistic now.

It's not just about the warming. Can you name one source of water in your neighborhood that's not polluted and can be drunk? Are you aware of the massive desertification due to industrialized agriculture? There's more than isolated signs of civilisational collapse. The system will change that's for sure. The question is whether we'll choose a mildly-painful transition, or endure a deadly ecocidal hard reset.

Ecological problems are not coming for us in the 2100s. They're here now and keep getting worse.
