Too bad all seems that we are heading to even faster rate of warming. It may end being something we will see by next decade.

And it won't be the only big thing that will be sensibly changing by then.

If this doesn't get us we still have massive insect extinction, ocean acidification, permafrost thawing, prolonged droughts, etc.

There is just no way out at the point, the planet is tanking the damage for now but once it'll crack, and it's starting to, many systems will fail simultaneously, no amount of theatrical green washing will undo the damage

I guess we should probably start looking for a new planet. Nothing else to be done I’m afraid.
