    That’s not true, people are more and more willing to acknowledge and address climate change. There’s been a big shift from ten years ago.

      Not like it even matters at this point. There’s a decades long lag time on CO2 emissions so even if we completely stop today the planet will continue warming for decades.

      Not to mention the arctic circle is a literal ticking time bomb that will blow long before the anyways. Methane is literally blasting out from the ground leaving giant craters behind. Methane is 28 times more potent than CO2 when it comes to trapping heat in the atmosphere.

      Just look at how countries around the world combatted COVID. Climate catastrophe is going to be magnitudes worse than that and people are still sticking their heads in the sand.

        It absolutely will matters… ever bit we can and emitting helps the planet in the future. No need for a fatalistic attitude.
