Totally agree. They've had their summits, accords, green new deals, global emissions just rise and rise, nah we're done. The remaining question is how bad will it be: straight up surface of venus or just mad max?

My understanding is we don't actually have enough greenhouse gases for Venus but we are definitely going to end up with very few humans left.
