Yeah you're right. Let's give up.

In retrospect, it may seem that way. We'll think climate change is easy 20 years after neutrality too.

You sound like every naysayers in 1900 who said we'd never fly. Or most of the world in 1960 that doubted humans would set foot on the moon.
The idiocy to just say, "whelp we're fucked" and bury your head in the sound is impressive. It's also no excuse.
We can tackle climate change, start culling ourselves, or let earth cull us. And I'm not sure I like the last 2.

The frustrating thing is we could go climate neutral and then invest in carbon capture to stabilize the global climate. It's estimated to cost 3-4% of the global gdp for a while. But how much do we waste paying for energy, fuel, etc every year?
It's like the smoker just has to pay 4% to the hospital to live but he can't be fucked to do that either.

Oh my. I've heard variations of this uttered by former leadership. It hurts to have to explain.
