Beating climate change is (mostly) a mind game. Societal changes needed aren’t too dramatic, but that’d make a few uber-wealthy less rich right this second, so here we are.

So what this comic really implies is “we beat corporate propaganda! We spread a scientific message to the masses!”

Now that would be something.

That is simply not true. It undersells by a wide margin how much very real danger we are in even if every were to go PERFECTLY from here on out. If capitalism collapsed completely tomorrow and we all were suddenly gay space communists, we would still be in the fight of our (humanity's) lives. A mass extinction has already begun and to stop it requires an insane amount of either energy and unproven tech or massive upscaling of natural regeneration.

We are so far from the edge of the woods we can't see the light between the trunks.

It's also worth saying that gay space Communism does not magically mean everything switches to being environmentally friendly.
