this is why I find climate dooming so frustrating
there is no point - none - at which throwing up your hands and going “well we’re fucked” is the correct response
every tenth of a degree matters and can make a big difference and is worth fighting for

Well said. It's also worth pointing out that even if we do miss the 2c target, hitting 2.1 is still better than 2.3. Climate tipping points are not all or nothing, there are multiple tipping points at different temperatures.

The really unsexy truth about climate change is that we're doing Pretty GoodAll Things Considered and dooming about it is just sorta the Midwit Position now
4C was where we were heading prior to Paris. Worst case scenario on current policies is 2.7C. An unfathomable amount of harm has been averted

Even under the absolute worst models, it is exceedingly unlikely that any given child is going to die

There has been absolutely no reason for anyone to bring a child into this world post 2020. You've been looking down the barrel of a pandemic, global climate collapse, and the return of unadulterated Nazism. Having a child right now is guaranteeing they will die younge and miserable. It's wrong.
