It's definitely not late but it sure feels hopeless...
It sort of is because the actions we would have to take would cripple our economies and directly affect the people living in our rich nations. That's why there's constantly resistance against even the slightest bit of climate action, even if it is just a few wind turbines or solar panels, which is the bare fucking minimum. But god beware we also add co2 taxation on products and people lose their collective shits. You can see that barely anyone is ever voting for green parties and politicians who promote this shit, because it would directly affect them. You can see how people react towards activists who protest to have exactly those type of actions being taken. The majority does not care and that's a simple reality that we have to start to accept so that we can move towards more drastic steps to take.
