Eh, even if we go extinct, we can at least make the good years last longer, and delay the horrors a bit. Hopefully.
Maybe if we buy enough time some wiz can find a crazy solution involving fusion power, geoengineering or duct tape.
Not sure which attitude you mean. I say we should do what we can. What we can may not be enough. We should still do it.
But there is no magic button to do so. We demonstrated, a half million people in the streets of Montreal, in a province that numbers 8 million. That was years ago. Nothing meaningful changed. The provincial government is still basing it’s strategy on electric cars. Cars are still mostly fuel based and growing in size and those electric cars are still growing. Public transit options here are stagnating (the pandemic hurt their budget, since fewer people travel, and the government doesn’t want to fill the gap).
There is no ongoing major discussion about cutting down on meat subsidies (not even on cutting down on the meat/dairy/eggs industry, we’re still subsidizing this crap).

That’s literally the attitude that got us here. Nobody wanted to sacrifice their comfort for future generations.

Society is like a mountain to move.
